@finben sorry for the misunderstanding. Yes you are adviser to submit an application for the K3 only after the I-130 form has been accepted. Call the USCIS and get some advice.

Because guys filed two petition forms. And the $420 you paid was just for one form. And why would you file a 129f form? That's for a Fiancé visa and I assume that you're married because u also filed the i130 for alien spouse. You can no longer file i129f if you're already married.

@Helz

I was just speaking in general terms. I still believe that the process could've been faster. Family sponsorship should've been the quickest but approval times for 130 is too long. And the i130 isn't the only part of the journey. The NVC is also another wait and I heard they have at least a 60 days delay there also

I won't be ungrateful at all. Even though we have to wait, the US' system is faster than Canada. Canadian family class immigration can separate families for years. And unlike the US whereby if you are applying inside the country you can get a travel document to leave if toy and want re-enter hassle free. In Canada if you have a spousal application in and even if you're mama dies you can leave but if u are denied reentry there goes your application through the window.

The Nebraska stories aren't looking good at all

That's why I thought it was a good idea to complete the g1145 form for they to email and or text. My wife added her number and my email so the same time she got the notification I got an email. When u get your receipt, go online USCIS, sign up for email/text alert.

And and everyone of you thanks for the responses. Let's keep each other's company and support each other. Also could you all share who's in the US and who is outside? I am outside waiting for the process to be done. Welcome to our new home. Does anyone here know how to do spreadsheet. It'll be a great way to keep track the progress we make

I mailed mine on the 11, overnight mail. It was received on the 12. Got NOA1 on the 17th Feb. Application transferred to Nebraska Service Center for processing

I was hearing that folks were getting approved like in 2 months too.

Is there any thread established already for the 2015 I-130 filers? Please post a link or let's use this thread if not

I am a February filer too. Just got NOA1 about two days ago. Is there any spreadsheet for 2015 applicants whereby we're able to follow and track each other's progress? Thanks I'd appreciate the help. If there's a link, please copy and paste it for me in here. Thank u

The receipt number doesn't work when I checked it awhile ago. I copied it and pasted it exactly and it didn't work. So it's best i wait until the time they advised

I already received my receipt today but was told to wait until 7-10 days to check the USCIS

My wifey submitted her i130 application to sponsor me. Less than a week after submitting it to Chicago we got an email today that it has been accepted and forwarded to Nebraska for processing. How long will we wait after this, and what is expected. We're so nervous..

@Ms Hogan

She has already written a letter to include in the application. What examples of these evidence could we include? We have emails, post cards, western union receipts including receipts showing we shopped online for each other. I never have a credit card statement showing the jewelry store that I bought her a white gold ring for Ber birthday last April

@NLR

Yes we got married last month. It was in person. A very beautiful wedding with friends and family. Yes I didn't see her in 4 years because her mom was ill with pancreatic cancer. She couldnt leave her, not even to work.She died last month and we got married after the funeral

Hi@ Ms Hogan. What a fast response! Thank you! I am definitely gonna be doing my interview at my home consulate in Jamaica. And we'll be filing the petition paperwork at the Chicago office. I am just stressed that my past marriage and the closeness with my current one will give me issues. Only if I could turn back the hands of time

Hi wonderful ladies and gents. Happy new year to you all. Well this is my very first post and I am happy to be here. I have a few concerns, which I know some experts on here will be willing to help me address. Little about my case. I am in Canada. I was admitted legally in 2011 on an Exchange Visa Program. I was first married in 2012, to a Canadian. my status expired in May 2012. I still have no status here She filed an application here to sponsor. The marriage breakdown because some spouses use sponsorship as means to abuse foreign spouse. I asked her to withdraw the application. The divorce was finalized last year. Moving ahead..... my current wife, whom I met while I was a J1 student in the US and I have become rather close, especially when I was going through hell in the previous marriage. She's been a tower of strength and support for me. We got married in Dec 2014. She's preparing the application to send off to the immigration. However, based on my situation I already recognize potential red flag

1. Im currently overstaying in Canada (I have never had a problem with law enforcement, no arrests or immigration enforcement)

2. My second marriage was only within 2 years of the first marriage

3. My wife and I had no real extensive courting period (affordability, and the fact that she was responsible for taking care of her now deceased mom)

4. I had an application for permanent residence for Canada with my previous spouse

6. My wife (petitioner) is 6 years older than I am.

7. Most of the evidence we had are gone (phones changed, calling plans changed and numbers also changed). What we both have are like emails, dating back to 2010. We have lots of whatsapp going back to 2013 and viber video and voice calls. we have a few cards and. we tossed out a few of the envelops. Therefore, no proof of postage. I have a few western union receipts for sending her money. I located a receipt I got when she bought something on ebay for me, showing her as the client and shipping to my address. How much evidence is enough? How much would be over documenting.

8. I haven't seen my wife in 4 years because her mom was ill and she was the only daughter able to care for her. Her mom died 2 weeks before our wedding.

If anyone has issues similar to these, and have successfully filed and obtained an immigrant visa, what did you do? Should I write a letter, placed in the application about my failed Canadian marriage. I have the divorce order which states, "The court receives evidence and made considerations in favor of "(------my name--------"

Also do I make any personal disclosure of my current immigration status in Canada? I dont want to withhold any material fact.

I'd appreciate if those brilliant minds here could address each of the concerns for me. if each member could choose one of the concerns and address it, I'd be appreciative.
