Rick Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Hi, I received the NOA1 today in my mailbox. I then read the k3 guide at visajourney, which says once I receive NOA1, I can submit I-129F. It states that it needs to be included: Copy of I-130 Transfer Notice (indicating where your underlying I-130 petition was routed to after it was filed at the appropriate Chicago Lockbox). and Copy of the NOA1 from the I-130 The Copy of the NOA1 from the I-130 is the only paper I got today, I am not sure about the first one. Does anyone know? Thank you very much Ricky Link to comment
Stephen Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 The instructions say :(U.S. citizens petitioning for K-3 visas for their alien spouses must also include evidence that they have filed Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, on behalf of the alien spouse listed on this form, and a marriage certificate evidencing the legal marriage between the citizen and alien.) But, if you have been reading at Visa journey then you know that I130¡¯s filed with I129f for K3 are taking longer to process than I130 filed by itself. Of course like anything with uscis it¡¯s subject to change. Good Luck Link to comment

Does anyone know? Thank you very much Ricky I just got my NOA1 also and I didn't see anything for a transfer notice I've seen this question asked before and I don't think we will get one. I sent my package in today without it. Edited March 15, 2009 by peterd01 (see edit history) Link to comment
Zhou Zhou Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I received my NOA1 a couple days ago and also am starting my I-129F.I am from FL and my I-130 was sent to the CA office...in the I-129 instructions I am supposed to send my packet to TX. This perplexes me and makes me wonder if the system is intelligent enough to work my case from two different offices. What do y'all think? Link to comment

They are two different applications, and you should not assume that anything in one can be made part of the other. The K-3 can even be shipped to a different consulate/embassy, if the marriage had taken place in a different country. Link to comment

I will use birth cert., marriage cert, g-325a, pics, a/l tickets, e-mails, etc...right? And you are saying I should send the I-129 to TX while my I-130 is now in CA? Thanx, Randy....ZZ Link to comment

This perplexes me and makes me wonder if the system is intelligent enough to work my case from two different offices. What do y'all think? I would suggest you rethink this a bit. The I-129f application for a K-3 is supposed to be sent to the address listed in the NOA-1 from the I-130. Link to comment
Sebastian Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I will use birth cert., marriage cert, g-325a, pics, a/l tickets, e-mails, etc...right? Everything you submitted for the I-130, including the proof of bonafide relationship stuff - you send it all in AGAIN for the K-3'd I-129f. These are seperate petitions, even though for the same beneficiary - do not assume one thing in the I-130 will be looked at for the I-129f , then you decide to NOT include it for the I-129f, thinking , "I sent it in already, they have it". Treat them both as totally seperate, and of course - you'll have to provide copies of everything you've already submitted with the I-130, for the new I-129f. Good Luck ! Link to comment
BrokenHeart Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 There is not an office in Texas to send any petition to. They do not use Texas anymore to receive any type of petition. Link to comment
Zhou Zhou Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 There is not an office in Texas to send any petition to. They do not use Texas anymore to receive any type of petition. So the instructions are out dated...not using Mesquite, TX anymore, ok. Thank you all very much for your help... ZZ Link to comment
