Dear Members,

Hi to all,

My wife is a US citizen and had applied for my K-3 visa, at CSC. we had reced. the NOA1 ie. acknowledgement of I 130. My wife had called to the C> S> centre for some advice for filing I129f but the lady told that in K 3 Visa you wont require to file I129F.

our date of marriage is 15.01.2006

her cititzenship Date is in January 2009. the documents are as per my name as we shown our marriage at the time of naturalisation process.

my question is ,

Is is true? do we need to file I129F or not?

as per the site i got confused coz. the lady told not to file 129F...can anyone help me who had recently gone through K3.

Thanks a Lots to all the members for your time,

Regards and god bless u all,

niik

Im not sure if I understand your questions.

Are you saying that the CSC told your wife that she doesnt need to file a I-129f in order to petition for a K3 visa?

I think chances are that the CSC told your wife that the K3 petion is not necessary. If you do want to file for a K3, then you need to file a I-129f with a copy of your NOA1 from the I-130. This is how you petition for a K3, the combination of I-130 and I-129f.

However, If you want to stick with the CR1(I-130), then you dont need to file the I-129f. The Cr1's(I-130 stand alones) are being approved by USCIS MUCH faster than the K3's now anyway.

If she has filed the 130 and has her NOA1, then she does not HAVE TO do anything else. If you guys are determined to file for a K3 for some reason, then she will need to file a I-129f with the 130 NOA.

I hope that helps :)

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

I agree. I don't see any reason for you to file for the K3, especially since you have been married for three years already. The I130 your wife filed will be all you need to get you the IR1 green card.

Forget the K3 and go with the I-130!

Please use normal size text!

Thanks for your help,

yes, the lady from the CSC helpline told that she dnt need to file I129F. I hope from your answer that considering our benefit that lady suggested us to file for the stand alone I 130 procedure as we are already married since 3 yrs.

So in other word we have 2 option right now, we can opt for K-3 or CR1. is CR1 is faster than it would be bonus for us as we were thinking for K-3.

so we have to wait for I130 approval now to file for the CR1 or what. if you have any idea pls. let us know ASAP. will be helpful for us.

thanks a lots for your time and help we really aprreciate all of you.

Thanks,

Niik

Filing a I-130 IS filing for a CR-1. Filing a I 129F is for the K3. Go with the I-130 [CR-1] All the way solo. It IS about a month slower than a K3 but a hMUCH MUCM better visa in the long run.

CR-1 is a immigrant visa and a K3 is non immigrant and will have to adjust status later in the US which is costly plus a LOT of hassle.
