Thanks for Everyone’s response and help, wish I had found this site sooner. just called the NVC last night and i130 has been received last month. Apparently, I been focus on i129 so much that I did not check i130, you guys reminded me to do so.

 

With i130 in NVC, it should take 1 months until case is created? Hopefully, the government shutdown would not impact the progress, Fingers crossed 

Shouldn't be impacted too much. I remember reading somewhere the NVC is basically a contractor so there contract was fully funded outside the scope of government agencies affected by the shutdown

I submitted for a K3 for my wife as well, I was naive at the time and thought it was viable (hadn't spent enough time on VJ yet). USCIS closed the i129f/K3 almost a full month before they approved the i130/CR1 petition, which shows that they don't even give a rip about the K3's anymore, even if they do get to it before the other. In the end it's so much better though, so much less hassle and money with the CR1/IR1.

 

Any attorney who suggests a K3 is immensely incompetent and he/she is not staying abreast of the latest trends (they're more than 8 years behind). I would strongly consider a different attorney (or, if your case isn't special, you can go it alone and save the money.. many of us have done it).

Thanks for sharing your case, it is good to know i129 doesn’t work. 

My wife had a visa issue, leaving country without EAD. where after return, she was put in a detention center for a week. so I got panic and found an attorney. In retrospect, the attorney asked for money right away, and then became non responsive and at time rude/unprofessional to emails requests. Now she doesn’t respond anymore. So ya.. been a fun ride.

To take over your case you need to notify NVC that now you want all notifications to come to u 

as they will go directly to your lawyer

and so far he has not provided you with good service

I filled a I-130 in Dec 2017,  and i129F (K3)  in  March 2018 after immigration attorney advised so. The application is now being sent to NVC for processing. After looking at the timeline posted on this site, I see a big difference between K1 and CR1 process time at NVC and embassy, K1 2-3 month total, while CR1 is 5-6 months.  Does anyone know how does NVC process K3? is K3 treated more like CR1 or K1 process time wise?

 

Thank you in advance

 

time to fire your attorney who is working to milk money out. 

Rest you got many good advise. Listen to what @pushbrk says. he is way too reputable here and he is always with right suggestion.

Sorry but seriously you paid a attorney to ignore you it seems and it's been a month ago and he has not contacted you. But then lawyers don't call NVC.

 

You need to start calling NVC to get your case number it's taking 6 to 8 weeks from approval to get.

 

Once you get case# you can pay your

 fees and right now you can read up and see does your country upload documents or you still have to mail in.

 

Wait until you get case# to get police report. If any other countries lived in since 16 years old for a year get those police reports now.
