Check my time-lines
I thought the K3 visa processing used to take only 3 months (at least at the beginning of 2006), but now it seems like it's taking over 6 months. Has anyone recently applied for a K3 visa for a spouse in India, and if so, can you please let me know how long the processing is taking before the NOA2 is recieved and till the actual interview date (for those that applied last year).It also seems like the I130 is taking the same amount of time. What suddenly happened to the K3 processing? Why is taking so long all of a sudden? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
THanks.

Going by your timeline, both the I-130/CR-1 application and the I-129F will be at the consulate fairly close together so I wouldn't be worrying about anything. As has been stated, the approved I-130 & CR-1 application once at the embassy/consulate will override the I-129F and any application for the K-3.
Thanks for all your replies ....
** Aussie wench -- I have seen a lot of replies from you in this forum. and personally feel your replies very informative.
Hopefully my CR1 goes fast. what if the k-3 reached embassy first and then CR1 after some time. Then what do I do?
1. Do my wife show up at embassy for k-3 interview and tell them we are expecting CR1 shortly. OR
2. Get the k-3visa and wait for CR1 interview without travelling to USA.
** All I want is to avoid the AOS process delay if she accepts k-3 and comes to USA ( I am Ok with my wife to wait a little longer in the home country and get this immigration stuff done once for all).
-
Hopefully this approval do not mess up with my CR1 Process.
Please advise what U did if you are in the same situation .. wait for CR1 or pursue K3 at this point?
Thanks
-
I have two questions:
1. Can somebody shed me some light how much time it will take for CR1 Case to be transfered from NVC to embassy?
2. Also how much time it will take to schedule an CR1 Interview for Chennai consulate after receival from NVC.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot!! It really helped me.
There is no bar code on the actual DS-230, only on the cover sheet. See James Shortcuts for generating the bar code.Yes by biographic pages, it is referring to the passport.
Thank U for your help Aussie Wench but need further help ...
1. I have a signed DS-230 part 1 ( from the beneficary) .. Can I fill the application and send out? ( if I do that how to keep all the bar code stuff if any on DS-230 Form)
2. I am sure when you say biographic page .. (its not G-325A) .....
U mean It is the first two pages of Beneficary passport ( which has all the benficary Biographic information .. right?)
Thanks
Can somebody explain what we receive in the DS-230 Packet from NVC Oncehe immigrant Visa fee bill is processed.
Questions I have is as follows:
1. Do I need to send the DS-230 Part 1 Sent by NVC for the beneficary signature before mailing back to NVC?
2. Can I sign the DS- 230 ( in place of her) as she appointed me as her choice of agent?
3. Do I need to send a notarized copy of beneficary passport page? or Just a copy is fine?
Anything else which I am missing.. Pl let me know.
Thanks in advance.
-
Can you help me in location where can I get the information on barcode sheet in this site !
Thanks
