Filing I 129F for wife, anyone else done this already? Help needed!!

[etrangais 947]

The OP already filed through Chicago lockbox.

I think K3 is a valid option. I'm going that route (K3 route). Already have a case # for K3 and it is about to be sent to the embassy for visa processing.

The embassy WILL process the K3 if not just to get the money for the filling fee and I've seen recent example of K3 visas from the US consulate in Casablanca Morocco.

My wife already has all the paperwork ready for the interview. Just waiting for the file to get to the consulate before paying the fees. getting the medical and scheduling the interview.

DS-160 will become available as soon as the file is shipped to the embassy.

OP, unless you are OK re-applying DCF (DCF available and paying the fees again is not a problem), go ahead and file the I-129F for K3. It is free, so you have nothing to lose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's free to file the I-129F but twice as expensive in the long run. To each their own. Have fun!

USCIS is called here on VJ as the 'mis information line'

Do some research, the K-3 has been obsolete for many years

good luck

Take a look at this thread:

I am filing an I 129F for my wife. We already have our receipt of application from the I 130. We are just slightly confused as the form is all based on a fiancé and the instruction form is all related to a fiancé too. So confused as to what info we actually have to include in the pack

Back ground info

Both live in UK now, I am a US citizen from birth, been married for almost 6 years, have 2 children who already have their US passports. We are wanting to move to the US permanently and ASAP

Many thanks for any help / advice in advance

It is okay to file the 129f, despite being married. You'll see on the form that there is a place for the date of marriage. It's confusing, but it's acceptable. I've already filed everything. Let me know if you have any questions. I'm NOT an expert at all, but experience is a little help. Good luck!!

Ok well we got a reply from USCIS, they will not transfer it but we can file another I 130 direct to London but we have to pay again!!! I guess they let you do anything where it means they get more money out of you :0/

We've decided to stick with what we've done and just wait it out :0(

Thanks for all the advice , info x

Really? 4months total vs over a year?

They're not having to deal with being separated, so unless they really need to go to the US, makes financial sense to wait it out.
