My husband and i got married in tunisia the 12tj of april! He went home by the 17th

He sent the 130 form and got approved after a week! We got an email and then a mail!

After two weeks

We applied for the i-129 , it has been 13 days and they didnt even inform us that they got the package!!

I havent seen him for 2 months now!! I dont know, some people got approved fast and some people spend months on it! Even though its a way to speed up things

You're almost certainly on the CR-1 path (the I-130 alone).

As such, moving thread from K-3 Process forum to the CR-1 Case Progress subforum.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

The wait is frustrating, but you will be waiting about a year, so unfortunately, visits and Skype is the best you can hop for for now.

I am sure; the K3/ 129 was faster when the other version took 3 years, but now it takes a year both ways, even IF you can get the K3.

Are you sure a year?? I mean they make the i-129f so people will be reunited soon! Besides the counsuler said the 130f takes 6 months! And already a month passed by!!

this was true way back when the K-3 was invented,

as

the FBI name checks done for an I-130 had a 2 year backlog.

Fast-forward to 2009, and automation replaced humans. No more backlog.

When an I-129F is submitted, the I-130 is yanked out of it's place in the adjudication queue, place at the back of the line with the I-129F, and the two casefiles are adjudicated together.

These two casefiles move into NVC together, and

when NVC sees an approved I-130, the I-129F is administratively closed there,

as it's basis for existence, an unapproved I-130, does not exist anymore.

Can you cite the source of your data, a url perhapss? I ask, cause we'd all love to vette the data that supported your decision to pursue an I-129F for a K-3.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.
