Why? The I-129 is a petition for an alien worker. If you mean I-129F for a spouse, please read a little here and you'll see the K3 visa is virtually obsolete. You'll probably be far better served by never filing an I-129F for a spouse. It no longer saves any time but it does cost more anc requires an additional immigration process after US entry.

You can send the I-129F the moment you receive the NOA1 for the I-130 back.

Good advice, dont file for K3!! Stick to the CR1 you filed for today!!!

You send in your I129f petition as soon as you receive Notice of Action 1 (NOA1) for I130 from USCIS. I would advise you too follow both routes, it doesn't cost anything more at this stage. If both petitions get approved at the same time, you'll receive NOA2's for both petitions.

As you read all the above threads, they are right I129f is more expensive in the long run, $1010.00 more expensive. But if you are like myself, you'll want to go with the fastest visa possible, regardless of expense.

When my attorney called the London Embassy, they did confirm that both petitions were being processed very closely with one-another. So we then decided to drop I129f and pursue with I130.

When your petition reaches NVC, it is then you ultimately decide on which route you want to follow. This is because NVC will ask for AOS and IV fees which is, $470 all together. Pending on your embassy they will send you a letter previously known as, "Packet 3"

"Packet 3" will entail you sending back the following forms:

DS-230 Part 1 signed

IV-15 & Checklist

Form DS-156

Form DS-157

Form DS-156-K

If your I129f interview comes before your I130 then you effectively loose $470.

File both route's for now then, drop the one you decide not to follow.

Good luck & congratulations on getting your journey stated. All the best

With unpredictably rare exceptions filing both petitions will result in approval of both the same day. HOWEVER, filing the second one forces the first one back to the second one's place in line, so the approval date is later than if you never filed the second one. Just say NO to any idea K3 is going to be faster in the long run unless you're going through one of those Consulates that treats the petitions differently after they arrive there, like Jordan or Vancouver.

I have been browsing the timelines for few posters in India and it does look like K3 is faster by about 1-2 months over CR1. A few people who have applied from Indian consulate feel the same way. I definitely agree that CR1 is cheaper and less hassle cuz you dont have to do AOS in the longer run but from the timelines it does appear that K3 is faster by 1-2months for India. Like the poster above advised I believe it depends on the consulates a bit to. So you definitely want to do more research on your consulate before deciding totally against K3. Again if 1-2months is not a big issue for you then I think CR1 is definitely the best visa cuz of not having to do AOS and alll the hassle later on. If money is not an issue then I think you should definitely research how the K3 timelines are for your country before deciding against it.

It depends on the constitute to be honest. Honestly, go with the one you think best. Have you got a attorney in USA? Another thing you can do it called the Indian US Embassy and ask them for an estimated time line for both pathways.

Mate, good luck hope all goes well.
