I130 and K3 ARE CONSOLIDATED

[mrc1330 0]

It is true that the I130 and the K3 are consolidated into one master file. I asked her. I also asked her what date does the master file take? and she told me the date of the I130.

lets hope she's telling the truth and they are not docking everyone a couple months because they sent and I129F. Lets also hope that just because the I130 timelines are behind the I129F that an officer wont hesitate to approve a master file just because he's ahead of other people without the I129F.

If other people could call and probe the same questions to confirm it'd be very helpful to us all.

I have heard other people say the same thing. CjVasani said the same thing a few weeks ago. I hope it is the case.

Yup! I got the same information. The officer went to the extent of saying that because of the I-129F, the application is given a higher priority. I am yet to see that! ;-)

Imagine if we were not given priority... We would be here forever! Anyway, my I-130 is completing 5 months... Let's see if they are really approving us soon! I HOPE SO!!!! I am losing my mind!

mrc1330....did the I.O give you any other information about processing times, backlog, etc?

Nope... did not find out about anything... she was reluctant to tell me whether or not my file was assigned to an adjudicator also. She kept implying... it's processing...

either way, i've had only 2 officers actually check, and tell me "No, it hasnt been assigned yet" The other <20 have told me the same "i'm not allowed to provide that info", or "That information isnt available to me"

I hope they go by the I-130 date, but when you look at recent approvals from VSC, the I-129 date was all at the end of Feb. Although they say that they go by the I-130 date, the data seems to show that they actually follow the I-129 date for the K3 and only use the I-130 date for the CR1 visas.
