Can anyone here assist me?

Hello everyone and anyone willing to help me out here. Im seeking help and would very much appreciate anyones help. I'm not sure if im in a good or bad situation. Anyways I met my wife almost 3 years ago and we got married last year in her country on 4/6/09. I petitioned my wife in Sept. 09 and I really had no clue what I was doing. I had a friend who married to my wife's cousin back in 2002. They actually assisted me in this whole petition proccess. I followed their advice and they did help me out quite a bit. My petition got messed up somewhat because of a few things. They told me to send the I 130 & the I 129F together. So I did that and I was very anxious to get this process going. I received my "I 130" NOA 1 after 3 weeks but no I 129F. So I waited about a month and nothing, so started getting worried.

I started to do some research and I seen "I was suppose to send the I 129F after you get the I 130 recept". So I called USCIS and talked to some lady and she said what I did was fine "even though I doubted her". I did what she said and even waited an extra 3 weeks and still no NOA 1 for the I 129F. So I called USCIS back and this new lady said what I had feared, that I should have sent the I 129F after with the I 130 receipt. She said to just resubmit the I 129F with the I 130 receipt. To my surprise I checked my online case status and my status had changed. My case status went from "Initial Review" - to -"Post-Decision Activity" and below it says "On January 11, 2010, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN."

I'm just wondering if im in a bad situation that I haven't even sent the I 129 in yet or what? Please tell me it's not too late to send the I 129F ? I knew this proccess would take patience and I'm giving it everything I have. I stumbled upon this site and I am seeking anyone's suggestions or advice. I would appreciate it very much if anyone can help me out.

You are in a FANTASTIC situation if you ask me. The I-130 route takes you to the Cr-1 visa which is a superior, cheaper, faster visa than the K-3.

You're too late for the K-3 since your I-129F has already been approved, but count youself lucky, follow the guides and Ling Che's short cuts to get through NVC quickly.

What country is your wife from?

Good luck
