The I-129F gets sent to the service center processing the I-130, this is either California or Vermont, depending on what is noted on the I-130 NOA1 letter.

If considering K-3, Consider the CR-1.

For the most part CR-1 tends to take a bit longer than K-3 to get if you prepare for NVC when they request I-864 fee, and Visa fee, as well as documents requested by NVC. In many cases the CR-1 petition reaches the consulate just before K-3 interview, which causes K-3 to get dropped and the interview becomes a CR-1 visa interview.

K-3:

I-130: $355

I-129F: NONE

Consulate: $131

Adjustment Of Status: $1010 I-485

($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 am 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.

K-3 was developed at a time when CR-1 was taking much longer that today, NVC has greatly streamlined the CR-1 process to the point where K-3 becomes irrelevant.

Keep this in mind in this economy, the CR-1 with it's instant green-card looks very attractive considering the cost savings, and the ability of the immigrant being able to take a job shortly after entry to the USA. K-3 has the down-side of added cost, and NOT being able to legitimately take a job until they have EAD or green-card, EAD can take 90 days or longer to get.

Moving this to the K-3 forum.

As per the instructions for the I-129F, you are supposed to send it to the service center where your I-130 is being processed. So if your NOA1 for the I-130 says chicago, that is where you send it.

Good Luck!!

Actually the I-130 NOA1 will say where the mail processing center in Chicago sent the case to, this will be VSC or CSC depending on case load at the centers.

For the I-129F for spouse, two, California or Vermont. My usual recommended choice for an I-129F for spouse is file 13. Don't mail it anywhere.

If you insist, yes. To be wise, send it down the throat of your paper shredder instead.
