years..we have sent in dozens of forms it seems and now have another
lot to do within a year.. they seem to be repeats of the last lots

have to be done again,,surely they have records of the ones we sent in
for the K3 visa? and if they do have to be redone can I do it from
the USA? I was under the impretion one could just apply for extention
of stay until the green card came through

Hi Annya,

Eventually, when your I-130 is approved (which it should be by now, after 2 years!!) then you will fill out the I-485 and supporting documents (G-325A, I-864, etc). That will be your Adjustment of Status paperwork. Curious to know what dozens of forms you've been sending in within these 2 years? You will have to do another G-325A Biographical Information, yes. But you won't need another police certificate. I don't think there is such a thing as "extension of stay" - you have to apply for adjustment of status from the USA, or else go back to your home country when the time comes for an interview there. Maybe what you're currently seeing that you have to do within a year, is the paperwork from NVC? Please clarify which paperwork you're talking about so we can guide you better.

A lot of the paperwork does seem repetative, for sure!!

Best Wishes,
Rene

Rete

It would appear that you have decided to do your adjustment of status outside of the US rather than inside of the US. Since you mailed money to the NVC, it appears that you paid the visa fee for the US Consulate and/or the processing fee for the I-864 Affidavit of Support. I do hope that is what you were wanting to do.

And yes, since you are going back to your country for the final processing of the I-130 then you will have to get a new police certificate, new medical, and duplicate all of the documents you did for the K-3. Why? Because all that paperwork is now in the US and will not be transferred to the US Consulate in London. Also the medical and police reports have expired and must be redone.

You will not have to renew your K-3 since you only came to the US on it in April, 2004, it is good until April, 2006. This means that you have to finalize/adjust status at the US Consulate in London before that time.

Good luck to you.

Looks like you get a trip to London in a few months
The main benefit to you will be that you become a Permanent Resident upon your return, rather than waiting who knows how long to complete AOS in the States.
