Cover Letters are not a requirement, just a suggestion. :thumbs:

I'm going to assume you mean petition, not "application" but for a K3 visa you must file the I-130 petition followed by the I-129F. Cover letters are a good idea but if you included the needed documents and check for the right amount, there should be no consequence for the lack of a cover letter.

If it's the I-130 you just filed, I'd advise thinking twice about the I-129F. There's lots of good discussion on the advantages of the CR1 visa over the K3 for most people.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...

Yep, compare timelines, for the most part CR-1 (I-130 only) takes just a bit longer than K-3.

CR-1 has the big benefit of GREEN-CARD upon entry, NO ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS. K-3 CANNOT get SSN, WORK, or Get driver's license until they have EAD or Green-card, EAD can take 90 days or MORE to get.

K-3:

I-130: $355

I-129F: NONE

Consulate: $131

AOS: $1010

($1496)

CR-1

I-130: $355

NVC I-864: $70

NVC Visa fee: $400 ($355+$45)

($825)

I see many posts from K-3 holders stating, "Wow this sucks, I an stuck at home because I don't have EAD, DL, etc, or I am having hard time getting added to bank accounts because of NO SSN." K-3 has a 90 day or longer period of limbo while waiting for EAD or Green-card.

Think about the down sides of K-3 before filing that I-129F

OUR TIME LINE Please do a timeline it helps us all, thanks.

Is now a US Citizen immigration completed Jan 12, 2012.

The K3 worked for us. If you are OK with not working for a couple of months, and your priority is to bring your spouse a little faster, than the k3 is the way to go. If we had to go through this again, I would not have changed a thing.
