Ok so I'm thinking about marrying my fiance and filing for I-130, Can I do this? and what does it entail since I have filed for I-129f already? Is it worth it? Or will I be wasting time? HELP!!!

Where is your fiance now?

If you're thinking CR1 instead of K1, not sure you'd be saving any time that way, especially since you've already filed.

I don't know why you posted this here, but if you did this then you would start all over from the beginning. What's the point? I also answered the same in your status question yesterday.

ROC:
5/23/12: Sent out package

You can go ahead and get married and file the I-130 BUT you would have wasted about 2 months time (if you did this right now, probably more wasted time though) AND the filing fee for the I-129 F petition. Yes, you can do it, but why? I do not see any advantage in doing this, but yes, you are free to do it. You would have to notify USCIS of your cancellation of the I-129 F petition though. Best wishes!

August 23, 2010 - I-129 F package sent via USPS priority mail with delivery confirmation.

August 30, 2010 - Per Department of Homeland Security (DHS) e-mail, petition received and routed to California Service Center for processing. Check cashed. I-797C Notice of Action by mail (NOA 1) - Received date 08/25/2010. Notice date 08/27/2010.

After 150 days of imposed anxious patience...

January 24, 2011 - Per USCIS website, petition approved and notice mailed.

January 31, 2011 - Approval receipt notice (NOA 2) received by mail. Called NVC, given Santo Domingo case number, and informed that petition was sent same day to consulate.

Called Visa Specialist at the Department of State every day for a case update. Informed of interview date on February, 16 2011. Informed that packet was mailed to fiance on February, 15 2011.

February 21, 2011 - Fiance has not yet received packet. Called 1-877-804-5402 (Visa Information Center of the United States Embassy) to request a duplicate packet in person pick-up at the US consulate in Santo Domingo. Packet can be picked-up by fiance on 02/28.

March 1, 2011 - Medical exam completed at Consultorios de Visa in Santo Domingo.

March 9, 2011 at 6 AM - Interview, approved!

March 18, 2011 - POE together. JFK and O'Hare airports. Legal wedding: May 16, 2011.

Thanks! I decided I won't I thought it would be better. But it will be a waste. My fiance also thinks its better to continue the process we started.

Some people think that being married is more proof of a relationship than being a fiance. Actually it ups the amount of evidence needed because you have to show you are co mingling like married people do not just planning on getting married like a fiance would.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

I mean for us we do live together when I'm over there, he lives in my house year round so the evidence thing isnt a problem. I send him money and send shipments of food.

You have chosen your road. Stick to it and don't look back.

Now, for a poetry moment from American poet, Robert Frost.

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.
