Difference between I129F ans I130???

[Cin 4]

What is the difference between and I129F and I130 if both are for alien fiancé?

[Amy and Nick 37]

I-129F is included in a fiance visa application.

It is not needed for a CR-1 spousal visa petition.

No, they are not both for alien fiance. The I-130 is for an alien relative. A fiance is not yet a relative.

[Cin 4]

No, they are not both for alien fiance. The I-130 is for an alien relative. A fiance is not yet a relative.

Oh ok. So then that would be the application for couples that are already married then.

No, neither the I-129F or I-130 are applications for anything. They are petitions, which when approved, allow the foreigner to apply for a visa. To have success doing it yourself for an immigration process, you'll need to be able to carefully read forms and instructions, then interpret them literally and respond accurately. If you are not capable of easily comprehending the difference between a relative and a fiancee, you MIGHT want to re-think your do it yourself ideas. It's not for everybody.

Ok first of all dont speak down to me like I'm some ignorant uneducated person ,ok. For your imformation I submitted my petition back in September and did it all my lonely self and I have yet to receive and RFE. I was simply asking asking on USCIS.GOV it says "I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN". That is why I asked because it says Fiance in there.

So please don't come on my posting being rude and trying to treat me like I'm an idiot.

Hi,

The I-129F and I-130 are two different types of petitions used to request a visa for a foreigner. They differ depending on the foreigner's relationship to the petitioner. If the beneficiary is a fiance, then the petitioner would use form I-129F since the beneficiary is not yet an immediate relative.

If the beneficiary is a spouse, child, parent, etc (relative), then form I-130 is used.

Thank you...that gives me a beter understanding. You see thats what I thought but mean while I wondered why'd they put FIANCE in frase with the I130.....Anywho, thanks and good luck with eveything!

Come on children behave. If your fiancee came here in the USA with a K-1 visa, she can file for AOS without needing the I-130 (extra pay). As long as she files for AOS within the 90 days validity of the I-94, she does not need to file I-130.

Don't know where you're looking or the context of your quote but on the petition itself, it says, "I-130, Petition for Alien Relative" and it is called exactly that at the link from which you would download the petition. No RFE is a good thing but you also don't have an approval yet. Getting a petition filed and approved is the easy part. The hard part is yet to come. Attention to detail and context will be critical going forward.

Yes, the boilerplate on many NOA2 notices says that but the OP has no NOA2 yet and a notice of action isn't "USCIS.gov."

The OP is probably referring to the online status page from logging onto his account with USCIS.
