Ryan H Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 It's too early to tell if it's a trend or an aberration, but I have seen 3 different posts on VJ where people filed both the I-130 and I-129F, probably not knowing the USCIS practice of tying the two together and/or NVC policy of administratively closing an I-129F when they already have the approved I-130. Anyway, what these people have posted is the NVC received the I-129F a day before the I-130. The thing to watch is USCIS now intentionally sending I-129F's that were filed in conjunction with an I-130 to the NVC ahead of the approved I-130 so the I-129F will arrive there first and thus have to be processed by the NVC? Time will tell. Link to comment
dnoblett Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Yep, I saw that one a month or so ago, is an anomaly not the norm. May be desirable with some countrys, but with the optional electronic process for Guangzho K3 would have no major advantage unless for some reason the I130 gets hung up at USCIS overly long. If i129f hits NVC a few days before i130 I would still be contacting NVC and request doing I130it will save the hassle and cost of adjustment of status. Link to comment
Randy W Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Remember that no legislation ever effected a change in the K-3 processing - the USCIS was doing that of their own volition. With the differences between K-3 and CR/IR-1, there are circumstances where a K-3 is necessary. The K-3 never did die, except administratively. Depending on the circumstances behind those cases, like Dan suggests, this may not represent a change at all. Link to comment
dnoblett Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Yes it would take a change or repealing the LIFE Act to get K3 dropped as an option. Keep in mind k3 is an option to allow entry to USA and WAITING for I-130 approval, does not make much sense to persue it if I-130 Gets approved a few days after the I--129f. Link to comment
