Timeline

Hello everyone,

In June 2011, I filed an I-130 with the US Embassy in London on behalf of my husband who is a British citizen. We are both living abroad in the UK and have only been married since January 2010. We received approval of the petition in October, but in this time, we began pursuing business opportunities in America and we're now signed to a franchise agreement there. Training begins in January 2012 and we're very anxious about being back in the country with my husband legally able to work by then.

Does anyone know of a way to expedite the process? Would a K-3 visa apply to his situation so that he could be in America while awaiting his interview? Has anyone else here had to expedite things this way? We'd appreciate any help or tips you could offer. We're racking our brains trying to do this the right way and not jeopardize our marriage visa. Thank you in advance!

Don't change visas and start over from scratch when you're halfway there. Your instructions of what to do once the petition is approved http://london.usembassy.gov/ds2001.html

It goes from the USCIS office at the embassy to the Immigrant visa office. They should have notified you in October that the IV unit has your case. You could have been done by January. When you send in your forms outlined in the instructions, send a request to expedite giving the reasons you stated.

Hopefully you have done your immunizations, ordered police certificate, had your medical exam, and have your documents in hand so you can get an interview soon.

Ditto what Nich-Nich said. I know people who filed in July, did medical and sent in forms at the end of October, and now have December interviews. Have you done anything since being approved? You should have received your case number either with approval or a couple of weeks after?
