Should I continue with my I-129F application?

[314159265 0]

I have recently got approval for both the I-130 and I-129F applications for my wife and child. My question is, should I drop the I-129F processing altogether? I was thinking that we may proceed to finishing off the I-130 instead while my wife and child are still in England. What are the downsides?

Only downside is it might take a little longer for the I-130!

Besides that the I-130 [CR-1/CR-2}] are MUCH MUCH better visa in ALL ways!

I believe uscis will make that call for you.

My understanding is that since July or so last year, they hold your I-130 in america when you file K3.

Then use your I-130 when you apply for AOS.

To get them to process your I-130 as well as your I-129 you have to file another form (and pay fee) I-864 I believe it is.

The I-864 takes about 2 months to process, so by then your K3 is way ahead of your I-130, so chances are slim your I-130 will get processed out of nvc before your k3 is complete.

Well, that is my understanding anyway, perhaps an expert out here can give you better info.

Best of luck to you

Well you say both are approved. If they were approved together the above is correct except the fee is $200 and the form is an I-824. Nobody has reported any action on their I-824 in less than six months.

I agree with pushbrk. I think that you are stuck with K3 unless you are willing a wait a really long time for the I-824 to get through. The best course of action when I-130 and I-129F are approved at the same time is just to go with K3.

Definitely agree with this.
