Hi there, I read alot of post on this site, which people first file I-129f K1 petition, and as well they file I-130 K3 file, why is that?

isnt the K3 petition u can file only when you are married, and if you married then why need to file K1 petition as well? or u able to file both same time?

I think they are referring to this post:

The person posted in this forum, but is referring to an I-130 which is a K-3, yet they still have K-1 listed on their forum profile, and their timeline says K-3. I think the person who posted that topic was confused.

gurdip,

I am not sure what you read but you only file one of the two - K1 if not married or K3 for a spouse.

K3 petitioners send I-129f out after they've gotten NOA1 related to I-130. See: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...mp;page=k3guide

Point of clarification cause I cant help myself I-130 is a petition for alien spouse which is used to gain immigrant status either from entry to the US on a K-3 (which needs an approved I-129F) or for the CR-1 immigrant visa. In order to file the I-129F for a spouse which leads to the K-3 visa, one needs to have already filed an I-130.

No you are not able to file both for a fiance and a spouse at the same time. Some members just get a little confused like the member from the linked thread Arazia referenced. They have filed for K-3 but in doing so they have also filed for CR-1 as an I-130 is required for both.

Points of further clarification:

- I-130 is a petition for an alien relative, not just a spouse.

- I-130 used to take a longer time to adjudicate than it does today, so when the alien relative was a spouse the core family unit was broken up for a long time. How to reunite the family? Allow the alien spouse to enter the USA as a non-immigrant, using the process in place for an alien fiance(e), while the immigration case was in progress.
