US Immigration from Finland

Hi guys,

just found out our case has been transferred to Vermont (without any notice). Feeling defeated to say the least.. My hysband called USCIS tier 2 representative but was basically given no info as to why. They told him to login and send online message for more details from an officer.

Has anyone else had their I-130 transferred to Vermont? Or does this mean our case is put under extra scrutiny - hence transfer to a more back-logged SC?

Hi y all!

I ve been doing a lot of googling and I m finding some pretty contradictory information online. Is getting DQ d the same as case complete?

We got DQ message from NVC last week but when I contacted the local embassy they told me that the case is still at NVC even though the DQ email says that NVC will now work with the local embassy to schedule an interview.

We re CR1 and husband is USC. Embassy told me that they are going to schedule an interview but they haven t received the package yet. Status on CEAC still says at NVC .

Some sources online claim that if your CEAC status says at NVC , that means that they haven t looked at the DS260 form yet but that would seem odd since we already got the DQ email and surely the DS260 is also reviewed with the rest of the documents. I can t seem to find concrete answer whether DQ means that everything is truly ready or is the more waiting before the case is sent to local embassy.

I m wondering whether I should do something and make sure that everything is in order or just wait patiently. My apologies for a very long post!

We haven't quite finished, or I guess are not even close (ha), the K1 process as we are still in the NOA1 stage (hopefully end). But as far as our next steps, current events, seeking similar situations, etc. I've been trying to stay abreast and hopeful with everything that is going on. I've been reading some other posts here and am starting to worry that I/we messed something up along the way, so I'm looking for some input before we potentially jeopardize future immigration;

• Fiance and I have always been living apart in 2 countries. We've met and hung out on a few occasions, but due to my job, vacation time is few and far between. We've made it work.
• The plan was to obtain the K1, marry in the US, he stay for maybe 2-3 weeks (max), he return home to Finland and we file for the CR1.

My question boils down to: Did we mess up? Due to our situation financially, and the aforementioned vacation time, there's no way he can stay for the 90 days of allowed K1 time. I understood the process that once the K1 is used, it becomes dead and you are responsible for beginning a new process for immigration. Is the Adjustment of Status the only route to immigration with this visa, and is Advance Parole the only way to leave the US and not jeopardize our future? Or can this visa be used and he leave in the time frame we specified above, and then we file for the CR1?
