April K3 Filers

This is an invitation to anyone who filed a K3 in or close to April to post on this thread. It seems that many of us who have filed in April are having delays with checks being cleared and receiving a NOA1. I think it would be helpful to keep each other updated with concerns or activity on our visa applications.

I plan to call USCIS within the next two days because it will be 30 days since my packaged arrived without my check clearing or receiving a NOA1.

Naturalization

3/23/14 - N400 package sent to Phoenix

3/27/14 - N400 package delivered

4/3/14 - NOA1 receipt date

4/4/14 - check cashed

04/29/14 - biometrics date

07/01/14 - interview date

Hey! I didn't file for K3 yet. But I have a question if you can help: I just got married to a permanent resident and I am on F-1 visa. I was told once that in order for me to change the status and start the process of received green card, i have to go back to my country. But it's too risky. Do you know what should we do? And do I have to fill out I-130 or some other papers?

Thanks for your help, and Good Luck

From what I can see you can stay in the US. Maybe these two links will help:

You might start your own thread asking this question for more help. If you need help with this just message me.

If you married a permanent resident, you can't go with K3. K3 is for sponser and children of US citizens. If your spouse is going tobe US citizen soon, you should wait and apply green card in US with your spouse later.

April 28 2007 sent I-130 to NVC

May 22 2007 application transfered to CSC

July 11 2007 received NOA1, decide to apply CR1 instead of K3

Aug 14 2007 touched (not sure if it is touched before Aug 14)

Aug 21 2007 NOA2 in snail mail :)

Aug 27 2007 NVC received our case, number is assigned.

Sep 11 2007 DS3032 and AOS bill generated and mailed out

Sep 12 2007 mailed out DS3032 from Canada and hubby mailed AOS bill in US. DS3032 will arrive NVC 3 days slower than AOS bill.

Sep 18 2007 Auto msg says NVC received DS3032, didn't mention AOS bill yet.

Sep 24 2007 IV fee bill generated

Oct 8 received IV fee bill. Still waiting for 864form

Oct 13 received 864form letter. It was issued on Sep 24 at NVC. Mailed out 864 on Oct 15

NVC agent said they don't receive IV fee bill nor 864. Send out IV fee bill again end of Oct.

Nov 8 IV fee bill entered to system

Nov 12 DS230 generated. But agent still said 864 is not received yet.

Nov 20 resend out 864 again(Hubby forgot to write case number on documents last time)

Nov 27 NVC Auto message said received 864, now waiting for 230

Nov 29 230 delivered. Will arrive at NVC next day.

Dec 3 NVC received 230 and put into its system

Dec 13 NVC operator told us the case is in administrative process.

Seems it is ture that April filers are been pushed slower down.

Please post here once you got information from USCIS. I guess they would tell you to wait another 10-20 days....

edp33,

I am surprised to see that your check hasn't cleared yet. I thought for sure by now... Our filings were 2 days apart. Man, was the wait painful. Hope to see you get that check cleared and/or the NOA1 soon.

I just sent in my 129F for the K-3 on Monday, it was received on Tuesday. so I am once again waiting for an NOA1, but I won't start stressing until next Monday :)

I hope that goes faster than the NOA1 for the I130

I called USCIS this morning. The recorded message has changed to state that it takes 28 days to receive a receipt notice. Then the message asks you to press 1 only if it has been over 28 days.

After being forwarded to an "agent", I was told it takes 30 - 45 days to get a receipt notice. I had to ask if my name was in the system. Then I asked, "The website states that at 30 days you can request action to find out why nothing has been done. Are you telling me that I have to wait 45 days?"

His reply was " I would wait two more weeks and call back."

I hope that most April filers will fall into urge to race's timeline.
