Hi, everybody. My first post ...

I live in the U.S. and my spouse lives in Taiwan. I filed an I-130 petition and an I-129F petition for her K-3 visa at the Vermont Service Center. However, I heard now that I can do direct consular filing when I visit Taiwan. Do you think it is OK for me to file a new I-130 petition in Taiwan using DCF, or will it create conflicts with my existing petition (still waiting for the NOA 2)? I would really be unhappy if trying DCF invalidated my existing petitions! Or should I just bring a copy of my existing I-130 and I-129F petitions to the consulate, and ask if they can process it there more quickly? Thank you very much for your insights.

Also, if anyone can guess from my information below when the timelines for approval of the K-3 visa and the immigrant visa would be, that would be great. Thank you!

I think for DCF, USC must have resided atleast 6 months in the country from where u want to apply.

and about conflict, cant say anything.

Correct me if i am wrong.

hi Andrew,

It is not possible to transfer petitions that have already been filed.

Whether or not Taiwan will let you file a new I-130 with them is up to them. Many Consulates don't want to know you if you've already filed Stateside, so you will have to check with them. Filing a new petition absolutely WILL likk the originally filed I-130. The I-129f would not factor in at all in a DCF case.
