CR1 visa, which is already have now, is just as fast as K3. It's more costly too and often administratively closed at the NVC stage. You can apply for expedite if you are applicable.

You just filed last May 2013. You can take a look your processing timeline of your center.

Patience, my dear. We all wanted to be with our love ones.

I am sorry my first post is a bit confusing

But what I mean is CR1 visa, which is you already have now, is just as fast as K3.

K3 is more costly tand often administratively closed at the NVC stage. You can apply for expedite if you are applicable.

You are on IR1/CR1 visa right now, if I am not mistaken. Its on your profile.

No need to apply for another one if that's what you mean.

You can ask your husband on what have he filed for you.

CR1 is a type of visa process. Filing I 130 is the first step of CR1 visa.

So you are on CR1 route.

Do you already have your NOA1? I assume you already have as you are on initial review.

And..what is your RFE, if you don't mind?

When did you file your petition Sir? We have the receipt now and are now in the first month of waiting.

It's the wife, sir. You can always see my updated timeline at the bottom of replies.

Ok I think you still await to recieve your visa right? What is a NOA1? And also the RFE? If you don't mind I not understand the abbreviation

[NikLR 13,220]

NOA1 is the first Notice of Action paper or email that you receive that gives you a receipt number (probably starts with MSC) that you can check online. You've likely already received this letter or email and are able to check the status of your case online as you said you're in "initial review."

RFE is Request for Evidence - when the USCIS wants more information.

Also you have about 2-8 months (or so) to go before you get the NOA2 (notice of action 2 - aka approval or denial of the petition) and you can move onto the second stage of the visa process which is the NVC.

I highly recommend that you and your spouse read the guides included on Visa Journey's wiki so that you are prepared for the next stage when it arrives.

Also it is best to learn a little bit of patience with this process. There is really nothing you can do at this point to speed up your journey. You are waiting for someone to make a decision and the normal time range for that is 4-8 months.

It's too early for you to be worried about the petition.. Start worrying when you are 6 months of waiting..Meantime, relax and read some thread in this site, it's very helpful..
