I-130s for Beneficiares are Approved

[marriedtomrg 141]

OH MY GOD.

Rick e-mailed me the notices from USCIS that our I-130s (for me and my daughter Pippo) have been approved. I was so stunned!

But the Feds still have our I-129F pending...if they don't send it to us with the same date as our approved I-130s I know we will be in trouble...it would mean we cannot apply for K3 and K4, right?

Can someone help me understand what we are going to do if we proceed with CR1? Because from what I understand, I have to become a permanent resident first before our daughter can submit her visa application...is this correct?

The main reason why we want to do a K3 and K4 is so that both Pippo and I can get visas at the same time...if the Feds don't give us an I-129F approval with the same date, then we will be forced into CR1, which is not what we planned...I don't like the idea of leaving Pippo here for any amount of time...

Please help...am happy about the approvals but that was sort of shortlived because there is no approval yet for the I-129F.

YOu can not go down the K3/4 route until the I-129F is approved. But with the I-130 approved you have options. You can wait for the I-129F and pursue that route or select the CR/IR1 route. The timeline on each about the same if both I-129F and I-130 were approved at the sametime. In your case, it appears that is not the case, so going after a CR/IR1 might just be faster and also cheaper since you do not need to do the AOS that a K3/4 requires.

Best of luck. Things really pickup speed now.

I would suggest that you guys take the CR1 route. It might be a little pain in the #### going through the affidavit of support at NVC but its worth the wait. It'll save you a lot of bucks from the AOS if you do it in the states. And yeah, the timeline to process k3 versus Cr1 is quite the same.

First, you stated you and your daughter's I-130 were both approved. Did you submit an I-130 for your daughter? If you did then proceed with both I-130s.

If not, then you will need to submit an I-130 for your daughter and slow your process down until your daughter's catchs up to continue with the CR1.

The first thing you need to do if see if the I-130 was sent to the NVC. The I-130 NOA2 will state if the petition was forwarded to the NVC. If it is worded like you are already in the US, then the I-130 is being held for AOS and your I-129f was most likely approved too.

your case is same as my case, I got approved too without knowing that my daugther I129f painding I got worried but so then dont waste your time, while ur case still on process to NVC you can or your husband can submit I130 petition for your daugther and slow down your IV processing. By the time your daugther approve then you and her can submit IV processing to NVC.

Remember your visa will take only 6 months to expire before that happen I hope your daugther I130 approve.

Best Luck for both of us!!!

Hi edp333.

When my husband and I were preparing the I-130 petition, we read somewhere that while it was not necessary for us to file an I-130 yet for our daughter that it was okay to file one in advance...so we went ahead and prepared one anyway.

We filed both I-130s - one for myself and one for our daughter - and they have the same NOA1 date: May 14.

When Rick got the e-mail notice from USCIS to inform him the I-130s have been approved, our daughter and I have the same approval date: August 28.

Does this mean we can proceed with CR1 and CR2? No other conditions apply? We were made to think that I had to land in the U.S. first on a CR1 before my daughter could join me. So we didn't want to do CR1 and CR2. That's why we were so keen to do K3 and K4, because it was clear that we both could get visas and leave for the U.S. at the same time. We have no intention of leaving her behind for any given amount of time.

Hope you can help us clarify this, as we are now preparing the NVC package that will be requested from us. We are waiting for the NOA2 hardcopies to arrive.
