Hello all,
I was wondering if any of you had any experience with our case.
We initiated and submitted paperwork for I130 on November 2012. My spouse is an Australian and she visits L.A. once in awhile on VWP.
I submitted pictures, some joint financial resources, etc, and was worried that they required RFE. However, since I haven't heard anything from USCIS, I contacted my congressman and they contacted USCIS two weeks ago.
Today, I received a letter from USCIS that requested my presence for an interview on May 29. The notice says that I and my beneficiary must appear for the interview.
She happens to be here on VWP -- she came here on March and is supposed to leave on May 28.
The questions are:
1. Do I really need to have her with me?
2. Why are they asking for an interview?
Thanks again for the help...
The K visa being referred to is the K3. They are essentially obsolete now. They used to be applied for when the CR/IR visas took a long time to process. Now the CR/IR process is about the same length of time as the K-3, so there isn't really any reason to apply for it. It sounds like you are currently pursuing the optimal process, the CR-1.
Best of luck.
