What's the next step?

Hello friends!

I live in Arkansas.

In January 2006, I applied for a K-1 for my fiance who lives in Canada.

We decided to cancel our application and get married on August 5 in Canada.

So we married and I filed an I-130 for my wife who lives in Canada and it was received on September 7, 2006.

I filed an I-129F on October 16, 2006 with Chicago.

Today I received an I-130 approval and was informed that my application will be forwarded to NVC.

I thought the next thing I was to get was an I-129F approval.

Does this mean that I do not need to wait on an I-129 approval, but my wife will be getting a packet from Montreal before long?

Confused,

Ernie

Ernie,

Before your wife gets a packet from Montreal, both you and she will get mailings from the NVC. Check the NVC's pages on the DoS web site to find out what takes place before the approved petition is sent to the consular section.

Congratulations on the approval. If the K3 is approved soon, you may want to continue to pursue it since it could still be completed before the I130. Check in on the Canada board
