Hello Sam and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Wow...I am impressed that from your NOA-1 date of March 28th to your interview date is slightly less than 6 months!! Of course, you are being processed through the VSC while many of us are being processed through CSC. I would be thrilled if Karina got an interview date in December. Our NOA-1 date on the I-130 is June 19th.
Relax and enjoy the interview. From what I have heard...and read, it is best to "be yourself" and relax. The greater percentage of petitions are approved. So...best wishes on your interview. You will be just fine!!
Sincerely,
Craig
Thank you very much for your words of wisdom!
I bet she will have her papers sorted and processed in no time! It would be terrible not to spend christmas with your loved one! So lets be optimistic and hope for the best!!!

everything you will be required to bring, will be listed in pack 3
make sure you bring additional copies of everything
every consul is different
and every CO will adjudicate differently
if you have all required documentation, you will do just fine
good luck
Hi
I went to fetch the pack 3 myself and it states obtain the following doccuments for your interview which pertain to your case... The officer didn't tick anything and I cant get through to them so....
But thank you for the advise!!!!
I think I just want to be prepared!!!

Which Affidavit of Support is needed for the K3 interview?
K3 needs I-134 form for each beneficiary, not the I-864.
Are the I-130 and I-129F NOA2's requested at the interview?Nope. The embassy gets the approved I-129F (if you are going K3 all the way) from NVC. YOu don't need to bring a copy either, but you need to know (by heart) the info encoded by the USC spouse. The embassy interviewers will verify these.
Do you need a copy of the full pack of paperwork sent in for the I-130 and I-129F for your K3 interview?No. Refer to the previous answer. All you will bring are the required documents in you Packet 3/4. Bring all original/certified copies except of ITR or tax transcripts ( a copy will do).
Wow thank you very much that helps alot!!!!

Hi
I would just like to know the following:
Which Affidavit of Support is needed for the K3 interview?
(Here on VJ it says the I-134 but the officer at the consulate was hessitant when she advised me to get the I-864) I also heard the K3 applicants dont really need it....
Are the I-130 and I-129F NOA2's requested at the interview?
Do you need a copy of the full pack of paperwork sent in for the I-130 and I-129F for your K3 interview?
Any help is appreciated!!!!
Thank you
Sam

I changed everyone's name to lowercase, so I could remove some duplicate records from my list.
Also, I wanted to get back into the limelight, so I increased the number of NOA2s that are shown. I am now #18 on the NOA2 list.
Hi bszoom42 - Please add us to the Approved NOA2 list:
20 sam miles & john miles K3 4/27/2007
We recveived approval on the 31st July already.

Plea -- are you pursuing your approve I-130? It might win the race if you pursue it, and now it will cost less, too.
Which petition are you pursuing?

im just wondering why AOS applicants need to apply foe EAD when they'll get their green card. It should suffice the employers if you apply for a job right?
Does anyone here know what Aos fee for a child entering on a K4 is - the fee structure is confusing on the USCIS website... one section it says $600 and the other it says children under 17 $0???
-
Go the k3 route, my wife was here for 4 months before the i-130 was approved. The visa is $100 for the k3, and the k4 child is free when traveling with the mother. Also you wont need another i-130 for the kid, and adjustment of status if different too, once here, k3 will be $1000, and k4 will be $600. Dont worry! Get the visa first, it will cover them both, then worry about AOS after they are here for a while. You can put off AOS until 90 days before the expiration of the visa, which is two years from the interview. GO K3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow finally someone who has been through what I am going through!!!
My issue is that I want to work as soon as I get into the country. And what about driving? I need an SS and to get that the AOS has to be done..... Can I file EAD without AOS? I dont think so.... That is my issue...
Please advise?
Yes I want to be with my husband more than anything but I also dont want to get there and with my daughter and become a burden. Yes my husband has ample income but I am an independant woman and cannot be unemployed otherwise I go nuts!!!
If you arrive on a K3 visa it will be a minimum of 3 to 4 months before you can be authorized to work. On a CR1 visa, you are authorized to work upon arrival but won't have a Social Security number for a couple weeks. My wife filed EAD without AOS but now it is all included in the same fee. They can be issued separately but you are still looking at 3-4 months.
Do you know if the states let you drive on an international drivers licence? I will be moving to Virginia.... I would probably need to contact their DMV....
Do you know what the AOS is for my daughter? I tried looking at the fees structure but it is confusing cause where the fee is for me $1000 there it says children under 17 $0.....

Wow, this is so full of errors, I would just delete it if I could. Shudder.
Yodrak already made the corrections but I can't find anything that is correct above except perhaps that skinman569's wife was here 4 months before the I-130 was approved. You've confused so many different facts from so many different places that it is mind boggling.
Well my I-130 and I-129 are already approved...
My delemma is that if I want to go CR1 I need to wait for my childs I-130 (currently waiting on the RFE) to approve which was sent in the same time as mine in March.
With the K3 I am scared I get there and cannot drive around until I get an SS which is what 3-6 months...... and the work is an issue for me I need to stay busy....
Man this is such a decision to make! I dont want to get there and become a burden and put unneccessary pressure on my marriage because I have to wait to work but on the other hand I want to get there asap!... Oh man!!!!!

I am trying to brainstorm as to which process to follow.....
CR1 - I need to know if the IV fee of $380 is per applicant? Per approved I-130....
- Is the $70 AOS Bill also per approved I-130
In other words do I pay double everything for myself and my daughter of nearly 4 years?
K3 - Is the $1010 for EAD charged for the K3 and K4?
Do you submit a whole new EAD for the K4 or do the fall under the K3 the entire time?
- Is the Visa fee $100 each for the K3 and K4?
Man this is really mind boggeling!!!!
Can anyone say with an estimate how much longer the CR1 can be than the K3?
Thanks
Sam
Thank you all very much
My I-130 is sittting with the NVC and has been assigned a case number already.
Dont know where my I-129 is as it is not yet at my embassy.
I filled both I-130s at the same time in March and mine was approved on the 31 July whereas they sent a mail with an RFE for my daighters.

i posted in k-3 this same topic i would like to know how much the iv bill and the aos bill is from nvc and any ideas how much the medical and delabros fees are thank you for the help would just like to know so i can keep the money in checking and not have to try to transfer and cause a days delay in sending back to nvc thank you
Is the CR1/IR1 cheaper than the K3?
Does anyone know what paperwork there is left to do once in the US on a CR1?
-
If you enter on a K3 you will need to file for a Employment Authorization Document and SSN, it takes about 90 days to get the EAD and then once you have that you can apply for a SSN...
If you enter on a CR1/IR1 then you can work from the day you enter the US but you will need a SSN and it will take about 2 - 4 weeks to get...
Hope this helps
Kez
Thank you very much!
-
If anyone has got any info or advise on how long it takes before you can start working once you enter the states on a K3 it will be much appreciated.
I am baffled
as to which petition to follow the CR1 or the K3... I need to work shortly after entering the US....
Please help!
Thanks

Hello fellow March filers!!!
I hope that sooner you will have your NOA2 already. As for me, I already had my interview and with God's grace, I and my daughter were approved.

Please post details of your interview that will help us that will still be going through the process.

Hello All,
I am kind of confused on what to do. My Wife's I-130 was approved, a case number was assigned and I just sent the DS-3032 and the I-864 bill payment, But My Step-Childs I-130 was not approved, I am in the middle of obtaining the addt'l documentation that is being requested. My question is should I just go ahead as planned with my wife petition? Or should I hold on until my step-daughter's I-130 is approved? I don't know whether my step-daughter's case will link up with my wife's case... I'm not sure how the process work but I know at the end there should be only one interview.. Any info is greatley appreciated.
Hi
I was just wandering what the RFE was that you received. My I-130 and I-129F were both approved the same date but my daughters I-130 is requesting more evidence (still in mail so dont know what they are requesting)
Does the Childs I-130 also need to be approved to enter the states with the mother?
I know on the I-129F the child gets an automatic entrance with the mother on the K3/K4....
Any assistance will help!
Thanks
Sam

I sometimes think... perhaps some VJ members are not updating their timelines... and that is why we see little movement.. ya think?
Mine hasn't been touched since 10 June.... Would love to update.....
That is it I am calling today!
Yes, I think you should call. What I mean is that some people dont update their timelines... so we have no idea. Perhaps i am just wishfully thinking I am not really # 25.
And just when all hope is down I got my approval on email from CRIS for my I-130 today!!!!!!!
I am still calling for the I-129 though
:dance: -
Yep, right on, but let me add Business First, engaged people next, families LAST. Got to love the gov't's family values.The key word here is values. We as a nation are loosing the core values that made us what we are today. Just like the Roman empire we will fall under the weight of our own wealth and immorality. Bringing spouses or families together is LOW priority with our government. Business FIRST - Families LAST !!!!
So very true........
even before business... they value the holders of H1B and H1 visa. Just recently a family friend who is here on a H visa went back to India and got married to a girl from there. She was able to come with him within 2 months. USCIS explain that to meeee..........
So true... I have a couple of H1 friends/co-workers who went to India and practically came back WITH their wives in a couple of weeks after they got married there.. As I said I m really really happy for them... As a matter of fact I am real good friends with all of 'em and in reality its NOT their fault. I do understand that they do that since they CAN. My gripe is why CANT I, as a US Citizen, do/follow the same procedure so that my wife can also be here like theirs... I feel so sad, cheated and hurt over this matter... lets try to forget it.. I m not goin to ruin my day over something I DONT have control over... but Oh yes I M SO MAD
Tc and gluck to e'one.. I hope to see some NOA2s this week.. may provide some solace and consolation...
Regards
pkewl
Just got notice from CRIS that my I-130 has been approved today!!!!!
Whooooo Hooooo!!!!!
WIll update timeline the soonest I can!!!

Children and proving custody
in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion
Posted
I am a mother who has just succeeded in getting my K3 and a K4 for my daughter.
I was divorced before my child was born but just incase I had her father sign a letter stating that I was allowed to take her and reside in another country.
The letter included the date, his full names and ID number (SSN), my full names nad my ID number and my daughters full names and her birth number.
We got that witnessed and notarised. I wasn't even asked for anything like that but I supplied it anyway.
Good luck!
Sam
