This is typical of any governmental agency. It is the only place where people are not held accountable for their actions!!!

How long does it take the Mumbai Consulate to schedule a K3 interview once it receives the application files from NVC?

mark me in RED!!! Approved 60 days.

I just got an email saying that our K3 was approved. Took exactly 60 days for the approval.

My IR1/CR1 is at the NVC and the Choice of Agent and AOS fee bill have been sent.

What route should I take now??? Confused.

So my I-130 was approved and it has been sent to the NVC and a case number has been assigned................ All that was a month ago. I have yet not received any Choice of Agent form nor the AOS fee bill. The only thing that the NVC automated blah system tells me that a case number has been assigned. I am not sure whats going on anymore. A freggin month has passed without any activity.

How long does it typically take to get these documents from the NVC???

Yep, I am familiar with James Shortcuts and am surely going to use it. I am going to email the choice of agent form and I have the biographic information form filled and signed by my wife and are ready to go. Just wanted to know when the forms would be 'generated' so that I can kick start the process.

Also another question. Should I now request my company's HR department to send me a proof of employment letter?

My application has reached the NVC and a case number has been assigned to it. Typically how long does it take for the Choice of Agent form to be generated and mailed out?

dip_sticks.......any news yet buddy?

What's taking so long?

Whats with all the 'touches' dip_sticks???

Close but no cigar huh?

I am feeling an approval is coming soon for you...........

I wasnt aware that there is a I-864EZ form also. I guess I am going to use that since its much more simpler and my income is sufficient so I dont have to worry about other assets, etc.

Now to my 2nd question. Once the AOS fee bill is paid, the NVC will send me the AOS form. Do they send the regular I-864 or the I-864EZ? Or can I simply down and fill out the EZ and mail it back to them?

On the I-864 form, Part 7, Question 26c states 'Enter the net cash value of all stock, bonds, certificates of deposit and any other assets'

I was wondering if this includes the assets in the 401k or Roth [retirement] accounts. Logically speaking this money is invested in stocks, bonds and mutual funds so does this count?

What has everyone else done? Input needed here.

dance: CONGRATS :

You have waited a loooooooong time. I hope the remaining K3 process goes quickly for you. Good luck!

Dipen bhai, Jalsa karo!!!

This should not be a problem. She was probably stopped at the port of entry because many people misuse the system and try to find the easy [illegal] route to stay in the US instead of the much harder, longer [legal] process.

I still cant seem to comprehend the 5year wait that you and your wife have been thru!!! I cant even imagine myself going thru that scenario. Hats off to you my friend!

Good luck!

Passport will work as a valid ID.

I think you should also try and get a drivers license asap as a supporting id.

Just 5 minutes ago, I received 2 emails from the USCIS stating that my I-130 has been approved!!!!

Approved in 52 days! I am so happy right now. I dont think I am going to sleep tonight

Cant wait to inform my wife tomorrow morning.

Just 2 minutes ago, I got an email from USCIS about the approval of my I-130!!!!! I am so happy

Damn, 60 days for I-130 approval!! Amazing! CONGRATS!!

My timeline is very similar to yours [plus 1 week] so I am hoping that I would get some good news in the coming week or so. I hope. No touches or anything yet.

Yep, a note to all naturalized citizens, the 'A' number stays with you for life. So make sure you enter it in which ever form is asking for it. It is confusing because even though you are a US citizen you are being referenced with an 'A' (Alien) number.

It doesnt make much sense but thats what needs to be done so enter it any/all forms that asks for a A number.

Is it just me or has dates for the current NBC I-129F for K3 processing not changed from March 8th since the past 3 months now???!!!

This is a freggin nightmare!!

Dont worry about the 'touches'; They might be in the process of transfering the case to NVC.

Cherish your approval. Have fun. Congrats

Go home dude! To hell with this kinda abuse!

Yes, the complete procedure is documented in the guides. Please go thru those and then post specific questions if there are any.

So thats our answer right there. You do need the NOA1 of I-130 before doing anything with K3.

There is no best time. File it as soon as possible so its gets into the "system" and the process gets rolling.

In part 1 of DS-230 form, Question 19, are we suppose to list the K-12 institutions also or simply the relevant ones? (i.e. College onwards?)
