B_P on 2023-10-27 said:Congrats on your approval! Did you by any chance also send in a K3?
Nelly & John on 2023-10-27 said:We did submit for a K visa also, but as far as I can tell, we did not get approved for that. At least not yet.
B_P on 2023-10-27 said:Do you mind sharing when you submitted k3? I also submitted k3 and also at Nebraska.
Nelly & John on 2023-10-27 said:same time, like just a couple of weeks later. As soon as we got the receipt notice on the I-130, we submitted the I-129F for the K-Visa. We submitted for the K-visa in mid-Feb, and got a request for more info in April on that one, and then nothing since then. And the request was just for a copy of the I-130 application (which was included in the original submission, I'm certain).
We were told by an attorney that they simply never issue the K-visa, however. It was free to try, but not to expect anything.
B_P on 2023-10-27 said:Okay, thanks! I mean you got it in 9 months when others are waiting 11/12 months so maybe it helped a tiny bit.
Nelly & John on 2023-10-27 said:This is true. To the extent that applying for the K-visa somehow causes them to review your CR1/IR1 visa more quickly, it could be helpful.
But what would be a lot better is to actually issue the K-visa and approve the I-130 at the same time, which would allow my wife to move here now. I don't understand why they even have a K-visa if they never grant it. It seems to go against the very reason Congress created the K-visa in the first place.
Nelly & John on 2024-01-18 said:@B_P Just thought you'd appreciate the update that, even though they approved my wife's application back in late Oct, they actually STILL haven't approved her two young children. I had thought they would compile and approve together, but no such luck. So we're still essentially in the first step.
B_P on 2024-01-18 said:Ugh, sorry to hear that. I did end up getting approved back in November, so also took 9 months for us. Think the K3 helped a little bit.
Nelly & John on 2024-01-31 said:So we finally got the kids' applications approved today and now waiting for everything to push over to NVC.
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
