HELP my I-130 sent to nvc before my I-129 arrived

[furryudel 0]

My I-130 petition got the NOA and a couple weeks later I sent the I-129 but when I sent it the same day I received the approval and the I-130 petition was sent to the NVC. Happened pretty fast. My question is is the visa being processed as a CR-1 or K3, since it was sent to the NVC before the I-129 was recieved? Any advice would be appreciated.

They are 2 COMPLETELY different visas and processed separately.

Forget the K3 and go all the way with the CR-1. K3s are obsolete at this time.

In this case there will be one case and one case only, because an I-129F for a spouse cannot be approved after the I-130 is approved. Your I-129F will be denied. Follow the CR1 guide.

Pushbrk, if that is true a I-129F will be denied if a I-130 is approved first, what happened in my case? My I-129F K3 was approved 2 days AFTER my I-130 petition? I too was surprised, but I got the email from USCIS Washington, DC followed by a phone call from them.

I don't know all the facts of your case but it would seem USCIS deemed the cases approved simultaneously. I suspect they were adjudicated together and the two-day difference in data entry was considered irrelevant. If not adjudicated together, then the approval of the I-129F would have occurred without direct knowledge the I-130 was no longer pending.

This is a case of filing the I-129F after the I-130 is already approved. The law says the I-129F cannot be approved.

You stated eveything happened fast, I am just wondering when did you send your I-130 and what date you received your approval.

Search yourself if you don't believe me. Some things are common knowledge among those that know the process. We've had numerous reports here from people who had their I-129F denied for exactly that reason. Do a search of this forum if you like.

The applicable law is "The Life Act".

Can "we" see a report?

Horse feathers. Let's see you back up your own assertion. You can't because it's wrong.

The discussion of the second case above is in this thread.

These are just two recent ones. Some of us have been around several years observing the same thing over and over.
