congrats!

after getting my NOA2s i was hoping that the NVC would have my case as well but they yet do not at of 3:00 p.m. cst on may 22 2007. i think they should get them by next tuesday if they have not left today.

congrats island_princess

haha true true

not a bad day at all!

would have traded a lot for the NOA2 and am ready to trade more for the visa

wow i am having a bad day and a good day!

i got both NOA2 on hand

i was approved on 5-17-07..

holy ####### i am confused and blank and ....

thank you all!

i think i am not going to send in all of my bank statements. i will send in employmet letter, bank letter, 6 months worth of pay stubs, and recent 2 or 3 month bank statements.

though, i will mention my assets on the i-134.

please let me know if that will be ok!?

my income is 5 times more than the minimum required that is 5 times more than 125% minimum required for 2 member household. Do i need to still show all of my bank statements for past 12 months? do i still need to provide my list of stocks, bonds, and 401k?

please help!

thanks

we were feb filers so march should be comming soon!

good luck ~

thank you so much for your repplies i needed this info its great!

when taking i129f route do i need I-864? I got the instructin package from mumbai uscounslate (http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/uploads/images/sDbYGOOjTiGg5OJdLteanQ/packetc1.pdf) and it does not mention anything regarding i-864. however, there are posts here stating that i-864 is required.

do i need to sent i-864 to my wife for her visa inverview? if so where do i get it notarized?

i sent in two passport size pix of both of us. i try to give them more than they need. its a few dollars more but worth it, IMO.

good luck and thanks for your wishes.

if i am taking the 129f route do i or my wife need to fill out the ds 3032 choice of agent form?

thanks

I just checked, my I-129F is approved.

Receipt Number: MSC

Application Type: I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On May 17, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.

I really hope so. Did you get your approval the very next day you got touched?

you will be approved tomorrow adhi

thanks also misa...

i am certain you will have it approved tomorrow morning

Hi rajc:

Thank you for your reply. I just got to know that I got a touch today on both I-130 and I-129F.

I was certainly not as organized as you were with your file. Hope that doesnot delay my approval. I am just hoping for something good by next week.

This is what I sent with my application:

Completed I-130 and I-129F

For both, I sent:

G-325A for husband and wife

2 passport pictures with name on the back and my A number

My Naturalization certificate

copy of my passport

Marriage certificate form the registrar (but mine don't have pictures)

Affidavit from the priest who performed the marriage and one from my husband's friend who attended the marriage

6 wedding pictures

Wedding invitation with I-130

Hope this is enough information for a speedy approval without a RFE.

thank you so much ny_izmir i appreciate your posting. i have started to fill out the i864 and i-134. do i need to get any of these forms notarized?

found a helpful link

http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/ivfaq.html#district

thank you!

i just found this page http://travel.state.gov/visa/laws/telegram...grams_1399.html

it says you do not need to fill out i 864 until AOS. Is this so? then i am really confused about what i need to do now?

23. Standard IV processing is followed, including NCIC namechecks, police certificates, pertinent birth/marriage/divorce/death certificates, standard IV medical exam minus the vaccination requirement, and relationship bonafides, Ref E, 18-25. Unlike K1s and K2s, the IV system will not yet accept K3 as a visa class, and so the systems processing takes place exclusively in NIV. K3s must be issued in the country where the marriage took place, unless there is no IV or NIV issuing post in the country, see Ref E, 15-17. Applicants fill out two copies of the DS-156 NIV application form; they are not required to submit the new DS-157 form. Note that neither an I-864 or an I-134 is required; K3 applicants must present the I-864 when they adjust status in the United States with USCIS. Posts should not routinely require an I-134, except in those cases where the consular officer deems it necessary to overcome any public charge considerations that might arise from documents presented or the interview.

i know this question has been asked many times "my k3 got approved whats happens next?" well, i have tried to find the answer and can't actually find a thread or site that explains what steps that i will need to take next.

i will appreciate any links and directions. feel free to say RTFM cause i deserve that. its just been an excited day but very long day at work. please help!

i am particularly looking for the names of of papers that i need to fill out.

thanks

guys what papers should i start to prepare? my i129f and 130 were just approved. what happens next? please i need some guide

thanks

Also, the photos i had selected were as follows (i used the same photos for both application):

1 with her entire family and i at the wedding

1 wiht her and my family at the wedding

1 where she is putting the ring on my finger

1 where i am putting the ring on her finger

2 taken during the wedding ceremony

1 of just and her at the reception

1 with entire family together

2 random ones of her and i togher at the reception

i had labeld the pictures identifing who was in the picture as well as marked them as wethere it was taken at the recption or at the wedding. i know it sounds ridiculous but hey it could have just helped.

by the way, for her interview i have made copies of both applications as it was sent in. We will also use our wedding pix, honey moon pix, (selected ones ), phone records, and probably some other items as i come across.

i hope this helps!
