    Approved April/May/June Filers waiting for NVC

    in K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    Good afternoon all,

    I just got off phone with USCIS and they have my file. Yes, the K3 was in it and "Becky", the Asian lady whom everyone else thinks is horrible, will be forwarding the K3 to the NVC herself today, and I was told over the phone to check with the NVC again in about 2-3 weeks. This time, it should arrive there, so I will start checking the NVC again starting March 7. I am breathing a sigh of relief for now. At least the K3 was found. Will update you again when it makes it to the NVC.

    Thank you everyone for your help and listening ears!

    Deb

    Good Luck Deb and God Speed. I m glad that USCIS is finally moving your petition to NVC.

    Bad News. My wife just noticed today that window 37 after her interview handed her a MNL-IV-22 with a check next to the words, WAIT UNTIL YOU HERE FROM US:

    The top states We are unable to complete the processing of your immigrant visa application (under Section 221(g), until you present the following documents:

    No documents are checked. I have spent almost 40 minutes in international calls trying to reach USEM only to be told they were closed.

    Ed.. Sorry to hear about your situation. Hopefully its something minor they need or something like that.

    My positive thoughts and prayers for you both. Good Luck. :thumbs:

    Sample Interview Questions

    in Asia: South

    Posted

    Hi All,

    My wife's K3 interview is coming up early next month and as such we wanted to go thru some sample interview questions. I would like some help from anyone here with looking for threads with sample interview questions.

    I somehow vaguely remember of there being a thread with such an info/questions but when I try to search for it I cant seem to locate that thread, in the first few pages anyway. So, I was wondering if someone has it bookmark and would post the link here or if someone has a local list then they would paste it here.

    Thanks for all of your help and time. Appreicate it. Good Luck. :thumbs:

    Regards.

    Hi All,

    Now that I finally a few mins to catch up on this thread.. Let me chime in :)

    Wow... So much progress with so many of you. So lets start:

    Edp333, racquel, rlpolo and if I have misssed anyone: CONGRATULATIONS BIG TIME :dance: Wish you all the best for a great life-journey ahead.. Same for you Cheryl and G&A...

    Deb:

    So sorry to hear about your USCIS/NVC delay... but it feels great to hear from you that you may have gotten someone on phone who cares about your case. I sincerely hope that the USCIS solve your hold-up issue and that your case gets forwarded to local embassy. Wish you all the best with that and you will be in my prayers. Hang in there Deb. :thumbs:

    Kathyrn,

    To keep my response short, I totally understand your reasoning of CR1 vs. K3 and your problems with the mail system and what not. If your research/instinct/gut tells you to go for K3 then go for it. In my opinion, you are giving yourself and your husband a best chance. I do understand some people's argument of entering as a CR1 vs. high AOS fees but due to Lagos' history, I think yoy may be better off with K3. Regardless, we (all your VJ friends) are with you. Good Luck and hope you have a speedy remaining process. :thumbs:

    UTR:

    Glad to see you back here on VJ. We did miss you here on VJ a lot and I am really sorry to hear about the delay in your interview date. As you can see from my sig below, I am somewhat in a same position and as such I totally understand what you must be going thru becoz I went thru the same emotions but hang in there. The END is almost here... Good Luck :thumbs:

    Lastly, wish everyone all the best for a speedy progress in their case at whatever juncture they may be at.

    TC and try to make it a good weekend.

    crossing my fingers for you G&A

    you're so close to the finish line... congratulations are in order!

    btw, how's everyone?

    edp333 - your wife's interview's coming up!

    i can imagine the excitement and the anxiety building up

    are you flying to manila to pick her up?

    what about pkewl? and urge?

    Hello All,

    I am back :D

    Sorry for being out of contact and a delayed reply but I was in India for the last 5 weeks visiting my wife there. Thank you all for dropping a note to see how we/I was doing - C & J, neenuh... and e'one else who checked upon us.

    As for our case progress, my wife submitted her packet 3 on Dec 2nd and ridiculously got a visa appointment date on March 5th. Yes after 3 months for some reason :angry:. I guess Bombay is that busy or they just dont like us. Anyhow, my wife and I are just glad to have a visa appt date than NOT to have one at all or something worse. So, we are just playing the waiting game.

    How about the rest of the bunch? Urge.. u still here...

    Guys, I got to go right now but I will start catching up here on VJ as time permits.

    Wishing everyone here a VERY GOOD LUCK for a NOA2 or with the visa appt date.. Hope things work out well for all of us. :thumbs:

    Regards.

    Affidavit of Support for K3 - do I need I-134 or I864?

    in Asia: South

    Posted

    :no:

    However, from my prior VJ readings, Mumbai (and I think some other embassies around the world too) seems to be requesting I-134/I-864 at their own will and/or discretion(sp??) per say .. especially for K3 visas compared to any other visas... That seems to be a bit of a gray area for K3... Just like some emabssies treat K3 as an Immigrant Visas and some as Non-immigrant... though we all know, techincally, K3 is an Non-Immigrant visa on paper...I believe this totally depends on the CO at the post/embassy as far as what they will and can request.. I believe there have been some threads in regards with I-134 and I-864 in conjunctiuon with K3 visas...

    IMHO, since you still have some time before your wife's interview... and since it doesn't take much to fill out an I-864 and since it DOESN'T need to be notorized .. I would say go ahead and mail one to your wife.. Just to be on the safe side.. It wont hurt... Thats what I did.. I filled one and sent it to my wife along WITH I-134... so if they request it from her at any time then she is ready with it...

    Hope this helps... Good Luck. :thumbs:

    hi all,

    just got an email from embassy. They have sent my wife packet4 and interview date is 12-feb-2008. I have done everything using email. packet3 was received via email, and interview date was also received via email. Not sure about other embassies but mumbai embassy (india) provides very good customer service via email. I encourage others to feel free to use it. All my replies from embassy were very gentle with needed information.

    I know atleast one person in this world is really happy today.

    Congrats Hum tum... I am so happy for you guys. Good Luck :thumbs:

    But talk about US Consulate, Mumbai... geez... look at it... Feb 12th... Thats like 7 to 8 weeks AFTER they have received all of your packets. So, based upon your timeline, I am probably looking at mid to late Feb or early March interview date for my wife''s K3 Visa, if all goes well with packet 3. I guess I will take a Feb/March date, better than NOT to have an interview date :yes:

    Hi to ALL.... UTR, Ed, My Honey, Divine.. et al. Sorry I have been away from VJ for most of the part.. I ' ve been really bz at work and what not..but just wanted to drop in and say HI and GOOD LUCK to all... :thumbs: Hope things are going well with yall.

    Regards.

    Sending packet 3 in advance to Mumbai

    in Asia: South

    To find out if my wife's approved K3 had been delivered in Mumbia, I called DHL. There are threads about this, however, they deal with using DHL's online tracker. That no longer works (or it didn't a few months ago anyway). So, call them and they will help you out.

    You can also just email Mumbai Consulate and they will tell you if they received the package or not. Read their auto-reply to your email CAREFULLY as it contains instructions on how to REALLY send email that will reach a real person and not their automated system. In the past, it said you have to use specific text in the subject line. As always, include your BMB number (you can get that from NVC).

    Vikasp,

    Thanks for sharing the above info.

    Mumbai consulate has replied to my email telling me that they have mailed out packet 3 on Nov 19th but my wife still hasn't received it as of 11/27/07. They also added in the email that we can print a "duplicate" off their website. So, my wife and I have decided that we will give it another day or two but then we will print one off their website and mail it to them proactively, esp since they state in their email to me that they are awaiting OUR response to their packet 3 mailed out to us. Anyways, my papers will be with my wife in a day or two so we are going to wait for that to happen and if we still haven't received their "official" packet 3 then my wife will just proactively mail it out from her side with all the necessary forms in it.

    Hope this helps others going thru Mumbai. Good Luck. :thumbs:

    Hi All,

    First of all, congrats to all for their recent progress... Good Luck.

    As for my last update, its basically 100% same as hum tum's post, which is, as of 11/19/07, Mumbai mailed the packet 3 out to my wife but we still haven't received it as of 11/27/07 and their email reply further advises us to get a duplicate copy off of Mumbai Consulate's website, if we wish. As such, my wife and I have decided that we will wait for their packet 3 for another day or two and if we still haven't received it then we will just mail out the one we print off their website.

    Good Luck to all :thumbs:
