HI,

Canadian married to LPR since April 2007 with 2 kids under 21 files I-130 jointly for myself and both kids.

We filed our I-130 petition in April 2007 and have had only one touch since then because we asked our Congresswoman to enquire about the status of the file.

Since speaking with the congresswoman I have been informed by the consulat in Montreal that we would qualify for a V visa once we have reached the 3 year pending case date. When I searched on the USCIS webiste under the LIFE Act it clearly talks about petitions filed before or during 2001. Can anyone clarify this information and if the ifnroamtion contained on the USCIS website is accurate? Is there any truth to this V Visa possibility?

In addition can anyone tell me, should we qualify for V Visa, if it is accurate that USCIS notifies NVC (I was told this by MTL Consulat) and the NVC contact us or should I be looking for a form that requires completion for the V Visa?

Maybe I am getting my hopes up for nothing....again......

Thanks Much!!!!!

Yep, the link I posted has this:

Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) petitioner MUST have filed the I-130 immigrant visa petition on or before December 21, 2000;
http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/immigrant...l#familymembers

Only suggestion I would have is to call NVC and ask about it.
