obxtrainman Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 (edited) Is it official, did I screw up by not sending in the 129f after learning about K3. I checked yesterday as usuall. CSC updated, wow twice in two weeks! 129f jumped ahead almost a month. When I started this, CSC I130 feb14. 129f only a few days ahead. Two weeks went by, they both moved forward about 4 days. Two more weeks, I-130 moved to Feb. 28. 129f still a few days ahead. Then nothing for two months. By now I found out about K3. Made an educated dicision not to file 129f. Now as of last two weeks, I-130 moved ahead 1 week. 129f moving extremly fast. Two weeks ago, 129f moved ahead of when I could have sent one in. Now I wonder if I should just send one in. They are processing cases they recieved just over 1 month ago. PSWhere can I line up for several of those mop slaps? Edited July 22, 2005 by obxtrainman (see edit history) Link to comment

This is why I am concerned. It's been about 108 days since NOA1. Talk about having an anxiety attack All the while, I have been telling my wife not to worry. Link to comment

david_dawei Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Here's a question for the K3 vs CR1 experts.. I read on VJ that once your I-130 petition is approved you cannot submit the I-129F .. that seems absurd to me... Anyone know if you can submit after approval ? Link to comment

I read on VJ that once your I-130 petition is approved you cannot submit the I-129F .. that seems absurd to me... Anyone know if you can submit after approval ?139179[/snapback]It is written in the Federal Register that if the I-130 reaches post before the I-129F then the I-130 will take precedence over the I-129F. If the I-130 reaches post after the I-129F, the petitioner/beneficiary can drop the I-129F or they can continue the I-129F for the K3 visa. Link to comment

One could submit the I-129F , say late in the game.. and just hope it quickly gets to post and only then could you utilize it, yes? Link to comment
obxtrainman Posted July 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 That would be my concern, my I-130 hasn't been approved, not even touched, since 4/04/05. Now all at once, they are approving 129f at a rocket fast pace. By the way, congrats to everyone that filed 129f recently. They are almost caught up as fast as you can send them in. But haven't moved forward much on the cr1. Link to comment
HanLi Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Can anyone explain the logic of this question between the I-129f and I-130? why does the I-129f seem to rock and roll, while the I-130 sleeps? Link to comment

obxtrainman Posted July 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 I would diffinetly suggest to anyone new in here if you have not learned of the 129f, for the K3, do it. It is misleading on the official USCIS site. ON their forms list, it dosen't have K3. You have to look in one more page deeper. As if someone just starting this process would know to look under fiance visa, to bring their wife here. Link to comment

One has to think about what a K3 visa is and what it is for. Link to comment

They did not go as far as mention whether at post or not.. but I that is next step.. Link to comment
