Me

Hi, thanks for all the advice I've found on this newsgroup.

OK, I plan to have all my/and my wife's I-130 an G-325a filled and sent
to the London Consulate for Direct Consular Filing by the end of the
weekend.

Just wondering what I can do next.

According to
http://www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_web/ins/i130filing.htm it is taking 3
months to process the I-130s.

Do I need to wait until I hear back from them before I start submitting
the next 3 forms?

1.] Form DS-230-I Part I, Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien
Registration - Biographic Data
2.] Form DS-2001, Notification of Applicant(s) Readiness
3.] Form I-184 Affidavit of Support

The reason I ask is I see this on
http://www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_web/visa/iv/immrel.htm

----
"Note: If the U.S. citizen and immigrant visa applicant reside in the
United Kingdom and the U.S. citizen is filing the I-130 with the
Department of Homeland Security (Immigration) in London, it will be
possible to begin the administrative processing of the immigrant visa
application before the petition is filed and/or approved. Read more..."

I am a US citizen and reside in the UK, this leads me to believe I can
fill in and send off all three immediately.

Can anyone shed some light on the matter?

Please reply to the group or direct to my email if you prefer

just remove the NOSPAM
