hello guys, finally we're back in here to get some info about our case, now w're looking into filling K3 Visa and when we called USCIS they informed us that they're working on april 2013 filers which happen to be our month, it's taking a long time.

we have the package ready to be sent. Now we are wondering if we should include a check for the amount they're requesting or just the NOA1 would be sufficient?

Don't bother with the K3, it will be matched up with your current file and will likely end up being closed by the NVC.

There's no check to send. For a I-130 filer you filing a I-129F there's no fee. USCIS are clueless.

And know this your I-129F will get sent to where your I-130 is and they will get adjudicated together. You will see many here on VJ have done what you did and both petitions get approved together buying you no time.

You will be waiting regardless but its your choice.

Case Complete to Interview spreadsheet

From now on your VJ Member name will be verified. If the name you put on form to be added to spreadsheet comes up not found, you will not be added to the spreadsheet. If you don't have a timeline you will not be added to the spreadsheet.

Yes the K3 is a waste of time especially at this point, I filed in June and mailed my K3 in Sept and they met up and we transfered together. We just received and RFE the other day. Have you tried calling to see if you can find out anything. It does seem to be taking a bit longer these days. It won't hurt to try to find out something. Good Luck
