I-129 rejected!

[Abdur 0]

I sent in my I-129 application 1 week after I received my notice of receipt for the I-130. I just received my I-129 sent back to me stating that I can only file that if I have an I-130 pending, because my I-130 has been approved.

I think I have been hurt by this speedy action because now I am stuck waiting for an immigrant visa.

My NOA1 (receipt) for I-130 was on Sep 5. My NOA2 (approval) was on Sep 22. I sent my I-129 on Sep 10.

Is there anything I can do?

Re-send the I-129f now that the I-130 has been approved.

are you Engaged or Married?? Doesnt the K1 have to be with filing the I129f?

[Stephen + Elisha 92]

My $0.02: If the I-130 is already approved, there's absolutely no reason to file an I-129F for a K-3. Pursue the IR-1/CR-1 route.

moving to K-3 Process forum...

Say thanks to god for your quick I-130 approval and follow CR-1. Better visa anyway. You will receive green card about a month after you enter the US. You will not have to spend $1010 for adjustment of status with CR-1.

I was trying to do a K3 visa so that our child can obtain a K4 derivative visa. Now that I can't do the K3 with an I-129F, does this mean I need to now file separately for my child, at the additional cost of $355 for another I-130?

Incorrect. The I129F K3 cannot be processed BY LAW after an I130 has been approved.

Yes I know that as well... that is why I am asking for advise as to how to progress and get my wife and child here in the same time frame as the K3/K4 would allow.

I did everything I was suppose to do in a timely manner. I filed my I-129F within a week of getting my I-130 NOA-1in the mail, but the USCIS decided to get off there butts and do some work for a change, and I am getting screwed for it. Does anyone know a way around this because of the extenuating circumstances. i.e. I-130 approved in 17 days as opposed to many months as is usual?

Honestly, your situation does not, in my opinion, count as extenuating. You got approved VERY quickly. I know it is not what you want but you will not receive any sympathy from USCIS. File the I-130 for the child, the $355 now will save you thousands in AOS fees.

Good luck.

Yes well, sometimes, we don't get a choice. Unfortunately, you are "stuck" with the CR1 and must file for the child.

I didn't get a choice to file my I129F as I was planning on doing because USCIS approved our I130 in 9 days. Them's the pits.

I think you misunderstood something. The I-129F was rejected according to law. Filing it again will get the same result. The course of action now is to file the I-130 for the child and hope for another speedy approval.

Which you would have had to pay even if you had gone K-3/4. In order for the K-3/4 visa holder to adjust status in the USA would require one anyway.
