This is why advanced beings from other planets only have slits for nostrils and big black eyes so you're never sure just who they are looking at.

Lets start this thread to give updates to each other to monitor and track our timelines of the processing dates. Thanks

This is a good idea. Thanks

Hello my fellow VJ'ers!, My husband just spoke to a USCIS Officer Miranda regarding our K3 visa status: I-130 approved / I-129f pending. According to the USCIS Officer "since the I-130 has been approved first, the I-129F is no longer valid. The I-129F's only purpose is to speed up the process Only IF the I-130 has NOT been approved first. But, since our I-130 has been approved first; the Vermont office forwarded our case to the NVC and NVC immediately assigned us the MNL2008xxxxxx case number and is now awaiting to be sent to the USEM Consulate-MANILA for IMMEDIATE processing. Then the Beneficiary will be contacted regarding the Medical, Interview & Visa.

Moreover, per USCIS since my husband is a U.S. Citizen we will not go for CR1 / IR1 route because being married to a US Citizen we will be awarded immigrant visa immediately. It is his lawful right as an american that his/her family and children under 21 years of age be awarded immediate permanent resident status. Greencards will be issued within 90 days after the USEM-consulate awards the visa. (ofcourse this will eliminates USCIS further applications for AOS to be processed in the future)

While for those US RESIDENT K3 Petitioner/s, when their I-130 was approved first than I-129F they MUST file for CR1 / IR1 immediately to save time and have to wait for the 3 months process. There are only a limited amount of visa/s issued per year that's why sometimes it takes a year to be granted a visa.

The greatest concern for most of us is this: WHY DOES CSC APPROVES 1-130 & I-129F? WHY VSC ONLY APPROVES I-130 & NOT THE I-129F?

USCIS Answer: CSC approves both petition because they process first the I-129F, the moment I-129F was approved they also approved the I-130 and send both to NVC. While Vermont processing procedure is to approved first I-130 and cancelled the I-129F (thats the reason why USCIS waived the fee processing for I-129F) This is to expedite the process and lessen the backlogs of VSC.

Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to be more specific and detailed in my hopes on being able to Aid my co-vj'ers who have the same or similar case as ours. Anyhow, Everyone is invited to leave a commentary on this post, since we all know that USCIS sometimes has its own interpretations regarding the K3Visa's.

hbunch

You just gave the most incorrect information I've ever seen in one post!!!

THAT'S THE MAIN REASON WHY THIS VJ MEMBER SAID THIS BECAUSE THE USCIS HAS DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS OF K3 VISAS AND DIDNT GIVE ONE SPECIFIC AND CONCRETE ANSWERS. IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SHARE THEN YOU MAKE UR OWN POST. RATHER THAN BE SUBJECTED. WELL DONE, HBUNCH. THANKS FOR THE POST.

Hello guys, is anyone knows about the AsawaExperience website? I read it once before and it was also a well detailed and informative forum about the real life experiences of all Filipinas undergo Medical exam, and Consul Interviews. Wherein they narrated everything from the Medical to US Embassy processes, outline all the Pre-screener interviews down to the Consul line of questioning. If someone knows this forum, kindly give me the link coz i really couldnt find it anymore. Thanks!
