USCIS.....

[~happyndinlove~ 540]

Well, just wanna share our experience with USCIS to everyone. I thought it was funny though but not a good one! Lol. Anyway, my husband would always call them twice sometimes thrice a week before our petition got approved. April 24th, my husband called USCIS and was told that our I-130 has been approved, and our I-129f will be followed a week after or two. Two weeks later, we have not heard anything from them. We even waited for the hard copy in the mail but nothing got in the mail. Again, my husband phoned them up and they said our I-129f been approved in May 8th and our I-130 was approved on the 11th. What??? All I thought they approved it on the 24th? So, I was like...what the heck is going on? My husband even called his congressman. And spoke with certain Cris a few times. We dont know if he helped us or was just a coincidence. Coz after my husband called him everything seemed to moved fast. So, Ok...week ago, (17th or 18th can't remember exactly) my husband called USCIS back again, and this time he was told that our both I-129f & I-130 were been approved on the 10th. And that the hard copies are on it's way. Again what??? Phew! Nakakaloka hindi ba? Lol. But in fairness to them, this time they were positive. Therefore, inspite of all troubles they caused us (LOL), we are so happy coz finally (May 18th) my husband received the NOA2 hard copy for both I-129f & I-130, together with NVC letter in the mail. Got the MNL case number and now we are hoping for the June interview.

I am so excited to gather all necessary documents for my medical and interview. But I'm more happy and excited thinking that my beloved husband and I will be together very soon, and never be apart from each other again...

I can't really wait...

Thank you LORD, for always being with us!

Go with the I-130 [CR-1] all the way as K3s are junk compared to CR-1s the way things are now.

Thanks for quick reply...and thank you also for your advice! Appreciate it.

We are aware that I-130 is better than K-3, but as far as we know I-129f is much faster than CR1 and we can't wait for another 3-4 months. Waiting is sucks! We just want to be together.

By the way, how could you say that the K-3 is junk...what do you mean by that?

Frankly we want the I-130, but the thing is we don't want to wait for another months.

Thank you enigmatic1!

Wow! That was long...we've waited six months already and we dont even have our schedule yet for the interview. We want the CR1 but my husband and I cannot wait for another 4 months...So difficult for being apart!

NVC is pretty fast doing the I-130, look at my timeline.

My husband can't keep up himself. I would still continue with the CR1 route and once you get both done, you can just switch from k3 interview to cr1.

therefore, no time wasted. I've read horror stories about adjustment of status, if it's only 1 more month or less difference.. go with CR1 route. It would save you more money and less heartache.
