Good Morning All ![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I got a reply to my question about my I-130 being approved before my sons...London Consular said : If my I-130 gets approved i need to e-mail NVC and let them know to hold onto my I-130 until my sons is approved.
One my son's is approved i have to get intouch with London Consular and they said they will request for my I-130 and my sons to be expedited to London so they can be joined up for when i get my interview![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
So i have the support of London Consular and that they will work with me to to make sure my son and i will be together![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Jeff posted out the I-130 for my son on Friday( 25.04.08) last week and letter explaining to Vermont Office where my I-130 is at the moment so fingers crossed once Chicago enter my son's I-130 into the system we have requested to have it expedited to Vermont to marry up with mine...lets hope it won't be too long but atleast Jeff and i know what to do if mine is approved first and what to do when my sons gets approved.
Hope this helps others that may find themselves in the same situation.

So glad to here that you have a handle on this situation now. I'm sure you feel much more confident and relaxed about the process since you now are actively involved.
For anyone else who is following Michelle's plight, please be sure that you and/or your attorney files the separate I-130s for you and your children if you are going to do Consular processing of the Immediate Relative Visa and/or are also filing the I-129F for the K-3/K-4 visas. It is a petition that will have to be filed regardless and better to have it in the works at the same time as the parent's I-130. The insurance it provides that your child will not be left behind if the I-130 is approved first and the I-129F cancelled.

I personally feel K3/4 have so much restrictions and for the sake of an extra
3 / 4 months ( maybe less) it will be a less stressfull time once im in USA with my hubby and no more fees to pay

I'm wondering that since my I-130 has been in the system since Oct 19th 2007 do you think my case will be adjudicated soon ?

At the very least is the timeline that the USCIS provides. It is not written in cement but at least it is something.

That's like asking what the winning lottery numbers will be for tomorrow night. My crystal ball predicts your I-130 will be adjudicated stateside by the second week in June.
