NVC said I forgot to fill part c on form I130

[ihope2013 0]

Hi I am new to VJ. I'm not sure if anyone has been through this before. But this is what had happen to me.

Receipt notice of petition for I129F on 03/20/2013

Rfe notice on 07/11/2013

Uscis recieved rfe request on 7/17/2013

Approval notice of I129F on 7/23/2013

When I called on 08/05/2013 to the NVC if they recieved my petition for I129F fianace they told me that they did recieved it and sent it back to USCIS on 08/02/2013f or to review again. I had ask why and they told me that I forgot tofill in part C on the I130. So I asked was that why you sent it back to uscis and they said that is what it is saying on our computer.So I hung up and dtarted doing some research on that petition I130. Why would I need to fill out the I130 for spousal visa when I'm doing a i129f petiton fianace. So I checked all my paper work and fourms and no where did I even file for I130. Did NVC make a mistake. So on 08/07/2013 I recieved an email from Uscis saying my I129F petiton was return back by the Department of State for further review. On 08/08/2013 my approve i129f went back to intial review and said that my case is being generated. I then call uscis why was my petition sent back.They said did NVC tell me why and I said yes, nvc told me that I forgot part C on I130. I told uscis that why would I need a i130 when I am filing a I129f for fiance only. I told them it must be a mistake.But all uscis said if it is a mistake than when we look into it and find out it is that then we would send it back for nvc.but for me to give them at least 3-4weeks to look at why nvc sent it back.Than on 08/13/2013 I recieved a notice of decision from uscis saying that my i129f was appove and sent to the embassy or consulate with the finding that the k1 visa has not been issue to the beneficary. And that the validty of my petion has now expire and that I can refile a new i129f for a fee.

How can that be. The notice of decision was review on 06/25/2013 and sent on 8/13/2013 and I didn't even get approve for the i129f until 7/23/2013. Plus my approve i129f was push back to uscis on 8/7/2013. Til to this date my i129f petition is still in intial review on the website. Nothing has change yet. I keep calling uscis for an explantion on why I would need a i130 (which was told to me by nvc the reason they sent my petition back to uscis) when I'm just filing for i129f. I did not apply for a spousal visa. Second why would uscis send my a notice of decision that my k1 visa expire when the review date was 6/25/2013. And my approval i129f was just approve on 07/23/2013. And why is my i129f is still in intial review. I am fustrated and confuse. Not sure what to do but wait. Does anyone have any suggestions

This sounds like a nightmare . Only. Thing I know for sure is that your right about not having to file the I-130. Its not part of the k-1. Just keep calling and bugging them. Call everyday

I see you just joined VJ today.... Did you ask to speak to a supervisor or "Tier 2" as they are called at USCIS? If you were only speaking to the first person that came on the phone at USCIS, they don't have access to as much as the Tier 2 person does. I highly recommend calling USCIS back and ask for a Tier 2, and calling NVC back and asking for a supervisor. You may need to call several times and see what answers you get. Often you will get a different answer from each person with whom you speak. Best of luck!

p.s. Try the advanced search tool in the upper right, if you haven't done so already.... I really hope it's just some kind of error that can be fixed. I haven't seen something quite like this.

i know that sucks our i129f was approved on 7-25-2013 its still at uscis when i called got the same answer 2 times it takes up to 90 days and every case is different i understand every case is different but we got approved so y does it matter that every case is different when its already been approved n it's just a matter of sending

I did called and spoke to a Tier 2 at uscis and all she said was do there is nothing she can do about. So when I try to expkain to her all she said is do you I have a question for her.I told her yes since you don't want to hear what I have to say. I asked her why did my nvc return my i129f back. She said well what did nvc tell you.So I told her the reason and I just wanted to confirm if it is it.She then said if that's what nvc said why are you asking me if you already know. I told her I just want to confirm. So I started telling her about the notice of descision. And she cut me short and said do I have anything else to ask. So I asked her when can expect a decision.All she said was give it sometime. So I decided to write a letter to the director of uscis. With what was going on as I mention above of what had happen and sent in copies of all my letters that I had recieved. I ask that if they take a closer look at my case due to things not adding up.Like the dates of notice of decision which was review on 6/25/2013 that my i129f was approve and sent to the embassy with a finding that the k1is not granted and the validity has now expire and I can chose to refile if I wan to. Also my petition not being approve until 7/23/2013.I said this is a big quedtion. Second I said nvc said I forgot part c on i130 but I'm just filing for i129f fianace petition not spousal.That's also a big question.Hopefully uscis can retake a look at my case again.

[Happytobe 164]

you should try to speak to multiple Tier 2's. You should also contact your congressman. They will have you fill out a release form, and they can then inquire on your behalf. That's probably your best bet.

[NikLR 13,220]

I would call the NVC again and see what is going on. Did you get your NVC case number?

[ihope2013 0]

I did get the nvc case#. But as I mention before they sent it back to uscis for further review because as nvc told me they said I forgot to fill in part c of i130.why would I need to fill that out when I am petition for i129f fiance only. Also why would uscis send me a notice of decision that my i129f was approve and was sent to the embassy with a finding that my k1 visa was not issue to my beneficary. So since it expire I can refile for a fee again. My fiance never had a appointment nor was I even notify.Also review date of notice of decision was on 6/25/2013. My approval from uscis for my i129F WAS not approve until 7/25/2014 and then forward on to nvc.somehow something went wrong real quick.but uscis is still telling me my case is still in intial review again.

I had a somewhat similar experience. It really sucked. It delayed my application process 5 months. I never got anyone to answer any of my questions because all the reps answer froma script. Even when I pressed and got to speak to a Immigration Officer I was not given a real answer. It wasn't until I got my US Senator involved that I got an real answer and progress with my application. Get your US Senator's office involved.

I will make a appoint to go see my us senate liasions. I am curious what they tell you after you got your senate involve.did uscis or nvc make a mistake?

[96accord 3]

If I remember correctly I forgot to check mark one question in Part C which had to do with wether or not I had been convicted of a felony. When NVC returned my file to USCIS no one would tell me what was goping on or the reason as to why it was sent back to USCIS. My file literally sat on someone's desk for over 4 months (July 18, 2011 to December 18, 2011). It took 2 emails, 1 fax, and 5 days from the date US Senate office got involved to rectify that situation. It my case it was both NVC and USCIS that refused to tell me what the problem was. My numerous contact to both USCIS and the State Department were very frustrating and fruitless. I feel that the little correction should not have hampered my application process by 4 months but that's what happened. Thanks for our US Senate office for taking care of the problem.
