Immigration call re: Congress request of the k3

[Lady Lamb 20]

Good day , I am a USC and  Congress sent a expedite request to USCIS for our 129f or k3 Visa while our 130 is processing.  USCIS officer is calling us on Monday or Tuesday. Does anyone know or have this experience to what questions they may ask or what OTHER evidence they may require, as I had to show evidence to  Congress to get them to send this request. Also what could be a possible outcome, could they approve the k3 ? Or just speed up the  130 Thank you in advance

Fewer than 10 K-3s are approved per year.  
 

Your I-130 might be approved faster.  
 

What evidence did you give Congress?

Thanks for the response , I would have to strongly agree, but the Congress rep said since  the  i130 is actively reviewing under 60 days they would only ask to expedite k3.  I didn't argue and it did get grant à call  for Monday /Tuesday.😏

 

As far as evidence, 

 

Nine pages of evidence showing  Financial hardship on business ( 3 sources ) with include Govt . loan Records,  financial statements, written statements ,a bit of humantarian  hardship ,evidence.

 

The verbiage from the USCIS  email says they WILL call within one to two business days. 

 

I was thinking the email was just a formality and maybe they had enough evidence and wouldn't call BUT after rereading and it saying,  Will, I'm just kind of curious to what they could be wanting , to try to prepare?

Financial hardship to the business owned by the USA citizen?

In my opinion most likely scenario: I assume you will get a response from USCIS saying action has been taken on your I-130 because it is under active review... and nothing else will happen. You'll be waiting for the K3 to be administratively closed and an approval of the I-130. 

 

Be aware, some people have their K3 denied because they have an I-130 on file and the I-130 is not approved immediately but takes a month after the K3 closure. 

 

If something else happens,  (K3 approved with the ability to schedule an interview after 1 or 2 months OR I-130 approved immediately) I will be pleasantly surprised. 

I don't think a lot of people push for the K3 to be approved because they aren't interested in adjusting status and would prefer the K3 act as a catalyst for the I-130. So, no one can tell you what will happen when you get your phone call.. although some will tell you they won't be calling you in 1-2 days...

Certain;y sounds an unusual and complicated basis for an expedite.

Hello , thank you for your response. Yes, I realize the k3 is a long shot ,  It wasn't my suggestion , or even something that I thought would happen, but rather like you stated  a catalyst to nudge the i130 . 

 

It was the  Congress rep who stated what they were willing to do ,and stated because the i-130 was in active review, they wouldn't be willing to act on that, but would send an expedite message for the k3 ,of course I wasnt opposed. 

 

I  have seen several of  your  post just prior to your approval and after, and I think we have a similar  mindset  /views about this process.

I really appreciate your articulated answer .

 

I'm starting to get a clearer picture of what to expect and maybe it's 0.00.  I am at 190 days of this side show .

 

I remember you noting your approval at day 260 and  mentioning  the average was  like 250 to 260 days , so perhaps I have another 2 months .🙄I have never experienced anything like this before .

 

I will update you on  the disposition. At this point I have no expectation especially when you see people getting approved for doing silly things like sending fake notes /service request, it's crazy the whole situation is crazy. 

 

 I was trying to wait my turn patiently but as they pick and choose who they want ,when they want,  it begins to distort the way you perceived things and kind of results to acts of desperation  . 

 

Thank you again for your response.i appreciate it.

From what I am reading I am starting to understand that🙄😁. It's okay I am not H-E- (double hockey sticks) bent on  this agency doing anything they stated or systematic order. I will update either way😁 . This entire process is a mess.  Thanks for your response

So claiming your business will fail if your spouse doesn’t come to the USA is going to be hard to believe and in any case I doubt that is a reason for an expedite.

Awhh , oh , wow ,okay🙄 .

 

I'll say  I thought it was articulated successfully , as the Congress responded to me in four hours, and  advised me that they already had made contact with the slow, never responsive  USCIS, not to mention the USCIS ,knee jerk reaction reaching out to me within  24 hours to the Congressional inquiry. 🤷‍♀️. But hey who knows ! 

[Boiler 43,433]

I have no issues with expedites

 

Like you say you never know

 

Sending them via a congress office is just a route, They just send them on

 

I can not work out why you would not expedite the I 130, seems the more obvious

Why would you want a K3 to be approved?  The entrant must file for Adjustment of Status......

Where did you see that?

[Ontarkie 13,915]

Doesn't a K3 need to be work authorize just like a K1? I know it's been awhile since we have seen any of them so I can't remember that detail. If so then the reason for the expedite is kind of pointless as the OP's spouse will not be able to work until AOS is filed and an EAD received. 

 

Hopefully it does just trigger the the I-130 to be pushed forward.
