Default Admin Review complete:K3 and 130 approved?? confused

Hi guys, I was wondering what happens if u get the approval for the 130
before the K3 visa? If the 130 approvalis not sent to the embassy
(takes a couple of months) can you still travel on the K3 and adjust
status in the US?

We have recieved a call in letter that says our admin review is finally
over and we were worried because our 130 was just approved a few weeks
ago. What will happen now? I dont think the embassy knows our 130 is
approved yet.. since they are calling us in for the K3.

I know I should be HAPPY, but I'm just a little confused. First we had
no visa now we might have two!

Help!!!

Thanks

Even though I know you're excited about your K3 admin review being over,
and you want your husband with you NOW, WAIT for your I-130 interview!
Coming with a green card stamp is so much better than a K-3! Sohail had
to wait over 3 months for his EAD and social security #, and we've filed
our I-485, but it looks like our wait will be a long one. In the
meantime, every job in his field that he applies for asks for a US
citizen or a green card holder. When was your I-130 approved? Do you
think the interview would be soon?

I have no answer on your larger question, but I'm really happy for you
clearing the administrative review hurdle! I remember how down you were
and you should be dancing -- if nothing else you got an approval, one
way or the other. Congratulations again!

Hey salooni,



Congrats ..... how about asking an immigration attorney. You've probably
thought of it but find out the probability of being forced thru another
admin review when the I-130 processing goes into the embassy.



All the best to u!

You guys with the I-130 approvals mystify me. The I-130 is what it's all
about folks! That gives you your green card. The K-3 is just a
intermediate stepping stone. If the USCIS handled I-130 applications
promptly we wouldn't even need to have K-3s or any of this nonsense.

here.

i have an i 130 approval ,never seen my k3 !!?????

i agree with the previous posting that with poursuing the i 130 is much
better than k3 ,but only if you are ready to wait another 3-5 month to
complete the review ,,so far in my case i don't have a choice ,i could
be taking the k3 if it was approved . keep in mind that if your wife
enter on IV with i 130 approved ,your are all set with the immigration
so far after my i 130 approval ,i just paid the fees ,still waiting for
the packet 3 to receiv it first then mail it back then get the final
approval then sent to the embassy then the embassy send the packet 4
then the interview then I DON'T KNOW WHAT NEXT ??? THIS IS ALL THE STEPS
YOU WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGHT ,ITS LONG BUT THE RESULT IS MORE BENEFICIAL

its just my opinion,GOOD LUCK !!!!!

Hi:



The K-3 is still a pretty new beastie. I can't speak from experience,
but my understanding is that the K-3 can be completed as long as the
process was started before the I-130 arrives.



Also, unlike the K-3, the I-130 goes through preliminary processing at
the NVC -- they collect the fee in advance, do the I-864 and collect the
DS-230 part 1 and THEN send it to the consulate.



BTW, you do NOT have to do an AOS if you are here on an I-130. You are
free to travel back home to complete the IV process. Back before the
enactment of 245(i), it was quite common for people to travel abroad for
IV processing even though they lived in the United States.
