Thank you for the input. Just 1 question,should I wait until after my wife gets the 10 year, or file during this process?

Hello to all, My wife and I are 2 weeks away from filling I-751 petion to remove conditions on residence. How fast time go's by!! My wife has a 14 year old daughter that we would like to join us in the USA, My question what do I need to file I-130, IR?, I filed a cr-1 for my wife almost 3 years ago. Thank you for your help

Thanks you for the advise. The NVC has sent the paperwork to Embassy, but we know this takes time maybe months. I will call again next month with this number and check again. Thanks again

Hello, I called NVC for info on my Cr1, they told me to call the Embassy, they gave me a number and i think it is wrong. is there a link with this number? Thank You

Thank you for the advise. If I go the electronic way, will this be for all the paperwork that is required, for me and my wife? How long does it take to be assigned a number once the Noa2 has been sent from NVC? Thanks,

we are Cr-1, just recieved the Noa2 which i am very happy about. I will be leaving soon to be with my wife for 3 months. What can i do to keep things going wih this process while i still in the USA? Download fill out send? Not being home to recieve the mail maybe a problem. Any help with this matter is appreciated, Thank you

You are clear, this prior petition should not come back to haunt you because USCIS indicated that you are free to file another petition for your now spouse. Thank you for the input

Yes this was for a K1, How do I respond to this? What if anything did USCIS send you? Did they "Expire" the K-1, or a "Revocation" letter? If Revocation, you needed to respond to this or it may come back to haunt you at your spousal visa interview. Make sure it was an Expiration, not a revocation, contact USCIS and confirm. Notice Of Decision, on top of the letter. it states that it was approved but visa was not issued. since the period of validity has now expired the petition will not be revalidated, it go's on to say all uscis action on this petition in concluded as of this date of this notice, however the petitioner may choose to file a new form I-129f for alien financee for the beneficiary with fee. This is what is states. what do you think?

Should I respond to this Notice of decision of Expired I-129f? or Allow the cr1 to take it's course? Thank you

Sorry about the White. Like Carl ( warpedbored ) said, White slips are becoming more common. As for your question. I think your talking about CR1 Try starting with this link from VJ. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...mp;page=k3guide Even though it says K3 it is also used for CR1 It's a good start to begin again. I'm sure Dan and Randy will be along soon with better help. BTW: Welcome to CFL. Mike About the K-3 and CR-1, K-3 is an OPTIONAL visa type that starts by filing I-130 for a CR-1 visa and then later filing I-129F for the K-3 OPTION. I say optional, because this is what K-3 is OPTIONAL. The K-3 was developed at a time when USCIS was taking a year or longer to process I-130, the K-3 allowed the spouse to travel to the USA and wait for their I-130 to get approved. Recently USCIS has begun the practice of approving I-129F AND I-130 at the same time, the tie te two petitions together and dont approve one without the other, this essentially eliminates the reason for the K-3 (Travel to USA and waiting for I-130 approval), from what I see filing the I-129F after filing I-130 slows the process a bit while USCIS matches up the two petitions. The K-3 is no longer a relevant visa type, it was developed at a time when I-130 for spousal visa was taking a year or longer to process through USCIS, in this case the K-3 allowed entry to the USA to wait for I-130 approval, so that the couple can either adjust status or interview for the spousal visa, since USCIS has begun approving I-129F AND I-130 on the same date, this eliminates the whole reason for K-3 (Entry and waiting for I-130 approval). K-3: I-130: $355 I-129F: NONE Consulate: $131 Adjustment Of Status: $1010 I-485 ($1496) CR-1 I-130: $355 NVC I-864: $70 NVC Visa fee: $400 ($355+$45) ($825) I see many posts from K-3 holders stating, "Wow this sucks, I am stuck at home because I don't have EAD, DL, etc, or I am having hard time getting added to bank accounts because of NO SSN." K-3 has a 90 day or longer period of limbo while waiting for EAD or Green-card. K-3 was developed at a time when CR-1 was taking much longer that today, NVC and USCIS has greatly streamlined the CR-1 process to the point where K-3 becomes irrelevant. Start with the CR-1 guide. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...page=i130guide1 But again first find out the reason the K-1 was denied. Thanks Dan, I knew you would come through. Yes indeed your right, When i did our CR1 that was years ago and things have changed. Like ya said: My wife has a small hand full of friends in this same boat here in the U.S. Thanks again. Mike Thank you for the input, you all are very helpful in this process. I am now back in the USA, pissed of course with the process. At the interview the white standard denial letter was given, not a bonifide relationship. Of course we had the kitchen sink all the paperwork and supporting evidence. I did attend the ACH and ASH, asked questions. Of course the reason for the denial are not told to you, but i ascertain the lack of speaking english was the main problem. It was my 3rd trip to china to be with my ping. All the other paperwork was in order. We of course was married and filed the marriage in China a few days after the denial. Am I correct in thinking the only filing should be is with the CR-1? and not to follow up with the K-3 filing after? little confused with this, thank you for any input on the process.

That is why I have never seen for GUZ to deny beneficiaries who speak good English or their major were English learning even though some of them had other cases weakness. Yes my Ping was attending English school since last Sept. Will need to check into another school with English instructor. Everything hing elese was documented and brought with us to the interview. EVERYTHING, English English and English is required. What about the CRS1 can anyone give me any input on this fileing. Thanks again

We went to the interview June 8th, the process for me was very straighforward. My financee had all the paperwork, tons and tons. The problem with the interview was her english was not good, when asked question from the vo she really didnt understand and possible gave wrong answers. I think need to file a CRS1, any input would be good, thank you

ok thanks for the input
