I-129f and I-130 Approve Same day I129f sent by NVC to consulate

[pushbrk 12,883]

If I understand your post correctly, both petitions were filed, both have been approved, and the I-129F is enroute to or at the Embassy. Yes/No?

If the I-129F was received by the NVC first and went on to the Embassy, then the K3 is currently active, it won't be changed to a CR-1 at the Embassy.

Not automatically with no further input, no. However, if the CR1 is what you want, simply ignore all correspondence related to the K3 and proceed with the I-130 through NVC. Once the I-130 arrives in Lagos, the Consular unit will interview for the CR1. If you want the K3, simply don't respond to NVC regarding the I-130. Decision is still in your hands.

So you are equating VJ to a 'common scam' then?

And weren't you banned from this thread? But you changed your screen name by 1 character and came back to what...post a link to a USCIS website?

Strange!

[Darnell 8,478]

Eh - he's an immigration attorney, and mostly thinks he's right.

It's ok - mod action coming soon.

[canadian_wife 1,822]

Who, exactly, is practicing law? and how...positing opinions on what visa people prefer?

[Darnell 8,478]

apparently koon2011 and koon2012, same fella, is an immigration attorney.

[canadian_wife 1,822]

I got that, but I don't get how this guy thinks people are practicing law by giving opinions

[Darnell 8,478]

is ok, he'll 'learn otherwise', shortly.

[canadian_wife 1,822]

Koon, use YOUR words and explain it to me please!

[Darnell 8,478]

yer gonna look ridiculous should you actually file something, but that's ok - you'll learn, in time.

[Darnell 8,478]

[canadian_wife 1,822]

I have read a lot on here to forget about the I-129f because it's a waste of time. But just wanted to let everyone know my I-129f and I-130 were approved by the CSC on May 18th,2011. The I-129f was received first by the NVC and I received a letter by the NVC stating that the I-129f petition was being forwarded to the consulate. So it is not the complete waste everyone speaks of and people are still getting K3 visas. I still say file both as the law has not changed. The K3 is not dead until the USCIS/NVC officially say it is!

I came to US with K3 visa much faster, got visa in 3 months in Manila.
