So is the I-130 is for the K3 visa and the filing of I-129F would allow you to get the CR1/IR1 visa only when you are married. I think I understand at times then I read another blog and get confused again. So if I filed the I-130 without filing the I-129F my spouse would get which visa? Then when I file the I-129F I would get the other visa. Can someone please clarify for me. Thank you in advance

Keep it Real

Your spouse would get a CR1 unless married 2 years or more than it would be an IR1. The I-129 is for a fiance visa.
