Hi everyone,

I have already filed on behalf of my wife based on my Greencard two years ago. And now I am almost there to get my Citizenship and I am seeing alot of people talking about not to take K-3 path which may cause some delays.

I have seen alot of your guys timelines and processing times which confuse me with all this different numbers which are not same at all.

Do you guys have any ideas what should we do?

Please help.

Thank you

Do you guys prefer K-3 or CR-1 (I129F or I-130 by itself)?

look at this

Good luck to you... it's confusing to me, too!

I'm a USC married to a french man who has been living in Canada for about 20 years.

March of 2005 -Met each other by chance in in Niagara Falls

April of 2005- after a ton of emails, arranged to meet in Montreal, now it's really getting exciting

May of 2005- tons of emails, he comes to visit Kentucky- we are so in love

In between visits to Toronto and KY, we go to Honduras, Montreal, Vancouver for vacations.

Sept 1, 2007 -Back and forth visits in between, IM and Skype, now we take the plunge and get married. We are so happy and my family and friends love him as much as I do!

March 25, 2008- Mailed out the I-130... finally!!!

April 4, 2008- Received the NOA1!!!

Sept. 2008 We went to Paris and the south of France (our 1st anniversary spent here) to visit my new family- with a quick peek at Spain. I love his mom and his son!

Just received a notice that we are moved to the CSC! I hear that is very good news! The date on the letter is Nov. 5.

Dec 16- Received our I-797C, Notice of Action Approval Notice with a Notice Date of Dec. 5 - super excited!

Called and told about change of address (in Canada) for beneficiary 12-22-08

Jan 11 2009 -Receipt of AOS Fee payment.

Feb 5- emailed DS-3032 and mailed the hard copy.

Feb 11- received confirmation email for DS-3032

March 29- 2009 Online payment of IV fee

Jan 11, 2010- husband spoke with NVC- still haven't received DS-230... she said since we paid online that we won't receive a package- just download forms- she sent him link to instructions via email.

Thank you guys.

I've read the link shows the differences. My question is which way is better now a days?

Whether I stick with I-130 and don't apply the I-129F and should I do both at the same time? Some people claimed that I-129F made everything slow?

THank you

Do you guys know which way is better? Didn't you study before apply for I-130 to see you might like to apply for K3 as well?
