I am sorry this has happened to you. Unfortunately, I hear horror stories about how USCIS and the Embassies jack people around with their screw-ups. They have no idea nor do they care at what extent they ruin people's lives and sincere plans. I am very bitter about this process !

Again, I am very sorry you are going through such an ordeal. Best wishes to you and God's blessing .

Marie, never assume! I'm sorry that this happened to you. I sure hope things work the second time around. It's a minor set back but just have the strength and patience to continue. Good Luck

Wow Marie,

So sorry that happened.

So the letter that you got recently meant they were reveiwing(researching) your case... not that it was in review by an officer. At least you have an answer and can proceed now.

Im so sorry that you lost your time, that isnt replacable.

Good Luck for a speedy process this time aorund.

If you are not married you file for the K1 if you are married you first file the I130 for a CR1/IR1 and then when you recieve the notice of action (NOA1) from the I130 filing, you can file for the K3, which is applied for using the same application used as for the K1 (I129F). The K3 is a non immigrant visa used to get the spouse here sooner so they can wait for processing of the CR1 in the U.S., however, lately it has been that both K3 and I130's have been approved together.

Yes, echoing what childress has said.

The I-129f is also used to file for the K3, when filed in connection to an underlying I-130(spousal petition). when the K3 was developed, they just decided to use the already present I-129f for both purposes.

So, we only filed for the K3, although two petitions are required.

the fiance visa was a non immigrant visa which used to be processed much faster, so they allowed it to be linked to the spouse immigrant visa as a way to allow married people to be processed as fast as unmarried people. like a reward for being married.

But now the two visas do not have such a difference in time for processing.

Best of luck with your second attempt. Maybe you can apply for expedition for the whole earlier experience, and I've heard you might want to apply for that more than once before they allow it.
