So i am stuck with I-130 for more than 7 months now and seems nothing is working to get it done. I am trying to understand if filing for K3 may be an option to go with. Any advises if i can proceed with this or if it is a waste of time at this moment? Thx

Always an option, but USCIS will not approve anything any faster with the addititon of an I129F. Your best bet is to just wait. Put in a service request, contact a senator but don't file the I-129

Good luck

agree with Canadian wife... if you turn around and file k3 your back at the beginning and it;s actually taking as long now as cr1. Your stuck at uscis and it looks like they are working on your case due to the current RFE so it shouldnt be much longer. At least with the RFE you know they looked at it. Just wait and see what happens. You can call them and ask them as well to see where it is and if they received the docs etc. Put in a service request as well like canadian wife said.

It won't be long now... Good luck
