Approved April/May/June Filers waiting for NVC

[kelly1290 0]

Good evening everyone!

Here is another update. I received a second NOA-2 on the I-130 this morning in the mail so I promptly got on the phone with CSC to see what was going on. To make a long story short, I got to speak with the adjudicator who stated she made a "boo-boo" and did not realize it until after she did it. I told her I was not as concerned about her "boo-boo" on re-approving the I-130 as I was about where my K3 petition is and has it been forwarded to the NVC? She said, in fact, that it is in the bin to be forwarded to the NVC and to check with the NVC in 30 days. She said I should be looking at the end of March before it actually reaches the NVC. So again, we shall see.

Have a great evening everyone,

Deb

Hey it's not lost! That's something right?

stupid question just for clarification... If our spouses enter the US thru JFK can they get the EAD stamp or is that only good for K1 visas? Anyone know?

The temporary EAD at JFK is for K1 visas only. When I first saw temporary EADs at JFK I got my hopes up too.

Only a small something. Becky was supposed to have personally sent my K3 to NVC last week. She lied and did not. It is, in fact, sitting in a bin waiting to be mailed to the NVC, so it is delayed yet 2-3 more weeks. Note, that it has been approved since Jan. 9. It should have been through NVC and have an interview date right now and I am STILL not at the NVC. It is starting to make me angry

Kathryn: Just like edp333 mentioned, its my understanding too that the temprorary EAD thru JFK is only for K1 visa applicants. Kath, on the other note, I just read about your updated progress too (in your sig) as in getting the interview date and all... I m so happy for you guys. I really am. Wish you all best and hope things work out for you real soon. Please keep on praying for us too guys :-)

Deb: I m happy for you too. Good Luck and hope the rest of your VJ is speedier.

Hi Everyone,

We just wanted to give an update on our status, in a nutshell our K3 is at the Embassy in Guayaquil and we now have an interview date for April 1st. (April fools day, can you believe it!)

Puerco

p.s Bit of a ramble below but if you are interested, this is what has transpired since our last posting.

Just to recap, we were approved at USCIS on January 8th, NVC mailed letter to us on Jan 24th. stating they received it and would be forwarding it on to the Embassy "within a week" (After calling to the NVC they stated that they actually mailed out the info to the Embassy on the 23nd. and then mailed the letter to us the following day.)

The website at the Guayaquil Embassy showed that they mailed Packet 4 on Feb 10th. which was the first indication we had that they received it. (They don't post receipt, only when they mail the packet 4.) Unfortunately, we did not realize that the information buried on their website, instead we were calling the Embassy but of course they kept giving the standard "If we have it you will receive it in 6-8 weeks or something like that...) Anyway, as soon as we found it on the website we called for an interview date and they told us March 6th. (We called on Feb 29th.) Can you imagine how we felt when we could not make that date because it was TOO SOON!!! Their next available date was April 1st.

FWIW: When my wife called the Embassy they told her straight up not to worry about the packet 4 in the mail just go ahead and download the packet and forms from the website, good thing too because it was supposedly mailed on Feb 10th and we have not received it yet. (It was sent Ecuadorian mail, apparently they aren't mailing them DHL)

Anyway, you can imagine our excitement to have a interview date, finally the process feels for real.

Good luck Puerco. J&W, congrats! Deb, Be patient. I am certain your papers will get there. I would wait 30 days before calling anymore not to risk pissing anyone off I know you are super anxious.

Good luck

Puerco Congrats

OK a stupid question... just trying to recap somethings......

DS 230 Ours was returned during our interview and told we didn t need it.... now I am a little confused because there was a question there about wanting a Social Security card.

How much did everyone pay at the Embassy.... There was a 131 MRV fee... what about the 400 USD Visa Fee?

Congratulations JohnWendy and Puerco.
