Hello CR 1 Filers,

I am new to this forum, since I was going for the K3 too. My 130 was approved unusualy early from looking at other timelines. I paid the affidavit of support bill for $70.00 and an application processing fee bill for $380.00 for a total of $450.00. Last night I discovered in another forum that it meant I was moving forward the CR1. I thought it meant my 129f/K3 was approved. I know this is the better route though, but much longer processing time at the NVC.

Ok to the questions, After adjusting my timeline to CR1, I see that there is an IV Bill. What is the IV? And how much is the IV Bill?

Thanks

Missy

Congrats Missy,

Its great to see your prompt I130 approval. I would recommend that you stay the path of I130 and the IV bill is probably the Processing fee that you submitted for the application to National Visa Center.

It's a better route cause your hubby can join you as a Permanent resident v/s a non immigrant K3 visa holder. You would have to spend in the upwards of $1100 for processing his Permanent Residency in the USA if he were to enter on K3.

K3 is recommended for people wanting to bypass the wait associated with I130 processing - in theory when the law was drafted but in practice both I130 and K3 petitions seem to be approved around the same time defeating the purpose.

I would reommend you stay the ourse on I130 and you can browse fellow Jamaicans who can help ou out in estimating the time for the interview at the US consulate in Kingston(i presume)

You can also view the flowchart associated with I130 on this website.

best wishes for the process.

My apologies, I thought you were from jamaica seeing the shinning green flag mistook it for the jamaican green and yellow flag.

I honestly don't know the processing time for Nigeria so it might be worthwhile exploring if the Nigerian consulate proceses applications at a steady rate or are they like USCIS.

once again my apologies, overlooked your spouse's country,

best wishes

Hi all,

Will there be a delay in NVC processing during X-mass - New year season? ...any idea??.

Hope they don't take long vacations atleast:-(

[Enlighten one :) 5]

Everyone deserves a vacation. Maybe if they took a nice vacation they would come back happier and want to make other people happy. These people work very hard with very little appreciation. The get the brunt of our grief and frustration. No one calls to say how great they are for processing a case quicker than normal. It is what it is.

Yes, I do think we might see less motion during the holiday, unfortunately.

No one calls to say "good job brownie" because these are the worst stupid slow and inefficient workers ever. Vacation? they should be handcuffed and flogged into doing some work.

Happy holidays UCSIC.

I have a question for you all. When does the NVC generate the number when they submit the bill or after they recieve payment?

Is it ok to ask this question in this forum or should I start a new post?

Thanks in advance for you help!

NVC assigns a case#, as first step.

Flogging is a good idea

Hello July Filers,

How is the progress? I got the AOS mail and waiting for IV fee bill.......

Best of luck to all!!

Hi all,

Recently one of my friend who went through visa interview, was asked to get 'Spouse name' added to her passport & then to come back for interview!

Is this mandatory at all consulates? People who are approching interview make a note of this to avoid a last minute blocker.

TC.
