New question on I-130-129F

[jazzy 0]

Ok i now understand with the I-130 we need separate petitions if we are going that route....but if we will use the K-3 visa 129F (where the daughter comes as a derivitive) do i still have file a separate I-130 for the daughter? Or do i only file a separate I-130 if we are using the cr-1 visa route.....please help confused and wanting to file papers soon

From FAQ at the top of the page

10.3)...When starting the K3/K4 process, must I submit an I-130 for our children when I submit the I-130 for my spouse?

A..It is not required to send an I-130 petition for the children when you first submit the I-130 for your spouse as part of the K3/K4 process. However, it is highly advisable to do so, in order to avoid complications and delays during the Adjustment of Status process. The children will not be able to complete the Adjustment of Status without an I-130 petition being approved.

Keep in mind also that you might opt for Consular processing of the immigrant visa. If separate I-130 petitions have not been submitted on behalf of the children, this option is not available to them.

I am also a little confused, as going by your timeline your wife succesfully obtained a K-1 visa and has already entered the US??
