We are at the NVC stage; we've paid the AOS and IV fees (and gotten receipts); we've sent the AOS package; and are about to submit the DS 260 form and send the IV documents.

The NVC wants a specific set of documents in the IV Package. My spouse can send in documents from her end along with the bar code cover page and her own cover page listing the documents she is sending. But there is one document she does not have with her, which is my divorce decree. Can I send the divorce decree to the NVC using a bar code cover page and my own cover page indicating that the remaining documents will arrive separately with her IV package? Or do I need to send it to her so that she can send it all in one package?

Thank you for any information you can provide!

Sincerely,
Anthony Zaragoza

We are at the NVC stage; we've paid the AOS and IV fees (and gotten receipts); we've sent the AOS package; and are about to submit the DS 260 form and send the IV documents. The NVC wants a specific set of documents. Most of these documents we sent in with our original application. Do we need to send in a whole NEW set of these documents even if they are documents we've already sent? Or do they have all those documents from the packages we sent in before? Do we simply look at the list and supplement what has already been sent with what we have not yet sent (such as a police record)?

Thank you for any information you can provide!

I received an email today saying, "On February 18, 2014, we transferred this case I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN to another office for processing and sent you a notice explaining this action. Please follow any instructions provided on the notice. We will notify you by mail when a decision is made."

Is this good news? Bad news? Or no news? And when they say a notice is this coming in the mail?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Again so very appreciative of all the input and support!! I'm amazed what people can do when they work together!

Are you saying this because I mentioned I-129F docs? Sorry about that. I know we are going for IR-1/CR-1, I'm trying to figure out what's next, and find the site a little confusing (maybe I'm slow!) and keep seeing places that say i-129F. So, its not clear what docs we need next or what form we fill out next. So any help would be appreciated. On a positive note, i received the email USCIS Acceptance Confirmation and am awaiting the I-797... IS that the only next form or are there others? Thanks!

You keep saying K3. Did you also file a I-129F after you got the I-130 case# receipt?

But if you just filed I-130 thats a CR1/IR1 Visa in the end.

Yeah, I'm clear that there is no K3 and that I am working on CR1/IR1. It was the title of the thread so I think that's why it continues to come up. But at this point I've only recently filed the i-130 and am waiting for the NoA from it. We have gathered I-129F docs and are finallizing those. Additionally the big thing is getting us together and figuring out how to do that without jeopardizing or delaying the process in any way.

Thanks again! So, now our question is: if while the I-130 is being processed my wife comes for a visit on VWP visa and leaves the US as she said she would within the 90 days, is there any chance that this visit would jeaopardize the spousal visa or delay it or be seen as a mark against us?

Again thank you all so much. So, if she were to come to the US to visit with the intention of returning to await the rest of the process to play out, what would she tell the customs and immigration official upon arrival? Would she say that she is married to a US citizen who has filed for spousal visa, and she is coming to visit with the intention of returning to her home country and has strong ties there (job, mortgage, family, bank accounts, etc.) or would she simply say she was coming to visit the country or what? Seems quite risky!

Again thanks in advance! I'm quite impressed with how quickly I have received this information and wish that I would have been posting on here long ago.

Best to you all!

Thanks for your replies! I filed the I-130 on Tuesday Aug 20th. And can work through the CR1 process, but if K3 is obsolete, why is it still on the Visa Journey site?

By the way who is OP? The attorney I spoke with didn't handle the paper work, I did, but I may have misquoted her. The key thing is she advised us that my wife wouldn't be able to move over or shouldn't attempt a visit until the visa is approved.

I am a US citizen applying for a spousal visa for my wife who is outside the country. I filed an I-130 earlier this week. Before I did this I talked with an immigration attorney who told me that while the I-130 is being processed my wife cannot enter the country for any reason. We are still going through denial about the fact that she can't come to the US while we await the visa.

So, is it true that she would not be able to fly to the U.S. until we go through the whole process and she receives the K3 visa?

Are there other options? Are we as a couple really going to be separated for that long?

One thing that has made me confused is that on the Visa Journey site (http://www.visajourney.com/content/compare#k3),
it says under the section on advantages of the K-3 visa: "The K-3 Visa Holder may apply for Adjustment of Status within the US BEFORE the underlying I-130 petition is approved. " This makes me think that Anna can be here before the i-130 is approved.

I'm so confused, please help!

Thanks,
