Hi I am still waiting for my approval...I have a question maybe you can help me... I filed for I-130 and I filed for I-129f I think my case is on hold because of the 2 petitions... If i don't want to pursure the I-129F anymore what can I do??? Should I write a letter to USCIS and tell them to withdraw my I-129f petition?? Will it take longer for my I-130 to be approved if I withdraw my I-129F?

Yes filing an I-129F tends to slow things down.

Once you file an I-129F there is no way to contact USCIS and withdraw it without killing the I-130 too.

The K-3 was developed at a time when I-130 was taking a LONG time to process (As in a year or longer), this is no longer the case. The K-3 was provided ans an option to allow the spouse to enter the USA an WAIT for I-130 approval so that they can then either continue with counselor process and interview for a spousal visa, or adjust status in the USA. Since USCIS has begun approving them at the same time, this essentially ended the reason the K-3 exists (Entry to USA and waiting for I-130 approval).

I would do nothing, most likely both petitions will be approved at the same time. Filing the I-129F for a K3 use to be the best and fastest way to go, but is not the case anymore. I know the waiting is hard, Im in RFE hell wait mode now. but dont do anything, possibley withdrawing the I-129F now might mess up your I-130 filing for rank in line of approvals.

If your past your 6 month USCIS time line, contact your local senator and or Congressman. Now they can get involved.

Best wishes.

I think this it the other way arroud

I-130 is filed first, and then I-129F is filed later with a copy of I-130 Receipt notice. Filing an I-129F by it self first would look like filing for a fiancee visa. K-3 is based on a spousal visa petition filing (I-130)

I am still waititng I wrote letter to my senators, the first lady, and filed CIS Ombudsman paper work, still no answer... I called USCIS and all I recieved in the mail was to wait another 3 months and call them if it's past 3 months... what else can I do??? I am sick of waiting to tell me to wait more... my friends husbands came from Pakistan with 8 months and I am sitting here waiting more than 8 months with no approval... this is not fair who can i turn to for help????

I got a phone call from my local congressman's office they said they recieved my letter and has contacted the immigration service in Vermont Center to get information about my case and they will call me when they have any new information. How long does it take after congressman contacts the immigration office for me to hear any good news???
