(F) Hi all,

First of all, I want all of you to know that I will really apreacite any information that you can provide on this subject.

I know that those of us who are in the middle of this immigration proccess are experiencing difficult times due to the mental, emotioanl, and at times financial anguish brought on by the separation of our loved one/ones. I want you all to know that I feel your PAIN and offer moral support... stay STRONG! :energy:

OK...

:ot2:

As I've been reading through these posts, I've learned a lot of useful information. One thing I haven't seen anyone discuss is the position one is left in, in the whole process, if their K3 Visa is denied. I guess these questions are for those that are knowledgeable in the K3/I-130 process as a whole...

* What happens to CR-1 ( I-130) petition that has yet to be approved at service center, if K3 ( I-129F) is denied at consulate interview?

* What happens to CR-1 ( I-130) petition that has been approved at service center, if K3 ( I-129F) is denied at consulate interview?

I want to be prepared for anything that could happen during this process. If anyone else has any questions regarding this topic, please bring them up! I would surely appreciate any insights. :)

Thanks All!

If the I 129f was approved at VSC then most likely the I-130 was approved as well. If the K3 visa is denied and you are already way past the time for any waiver or from keeping it from getting back into the hands of USCIS then pretty much you can forget about the original I-130 as a second chance. An I-130 is just the starting block for an I-129f, if you chose the I-129f then that is what you chose, there is nothing else that will happen from the I-130. Best thing to try to do at that point is fight for the I-129F and the best way to do that is keep it there at the consulate. And I am not sure but I have seen mixed thngs about if the I-129F for K3 has an expiration date on it or not.
