Hello!

I am stuck......confused.

I filled the I-130 for my husband. we received the notice of action that form was received and is in process.

however, what should be my next step? all this time, i was under the impression that i were to file for the I-129F, however, as I keep reading,

it seems this form is used, only when couples have married OUTSIDE the US.

in my case, we got married in the United States, then a week after our marriage, moved & have lived here in Chile ever since.

so, should i still file for the I-129F? or should i just wait for the I-130 to be process alone? and wait for the NVC response?

i know it may seem easy for some of you out there, but believe me this gets confusing day by day.

any suggestions?

I-130 petition is for people who got married, regardless of location

“The fact that we are here and that I speak these words is an attempt to break that silence and bridge some
of those differences between us, for it is not difference which immobilizes us, but silence.
And there are so many silences to be broken.”

Well if you want to be proactive and study your next stage after approval at USCIS. Go here to NVC filers thread and read what you need to prepare for next stage.

Read Post #1 and Post #2 (especially the domicile one for you).

Why you say its only for married people? Or this official info is not true?

Purpose of I-129f

To petition to bring your fiancé(e) (K-1) and that person's children to the U.S. for marriage to you or to bring your spouse and that person's children (K-3 and K-4 visas, respectively) to the United States to complete processing for permanent resident status (under the LIFE Act and Amendments of 2000)

I 129F is for a fiancee visa so definatley not the one for for you

Actually both of you are wrong I'm sorry to say. The I-129F can be filed to try to put the couple on the K3 visa path. However the CR1 is the superior visa and the K3 is rarely granted (0.33% in 2012.)

Thank you for responding.

It seems I only need to file the I-130, I could file the I 129F to expedite the time process but there's no guarantee that it will actually be faster, and with the I 129F he would have to wait for the I-130 to be processed, while in the United States, and he would have to wait to get his visa and be able to work. So filling just the I-130 is good, bc will do the waiting in Chile till he gets his visa (green card) and can work as soon as he gets to the United States, :) he will be stepping in as a perms ant resident .

That's what I found out!

Congrats on doing some research on your own and making a decision! (i'm seriously cheering you on for showing the initiative after your initial question! YAY!!!) I hope you have a speedy process.

Considering you have both live out of the country, be sure to read up on the documentation required to show evidence of 'US domicile', which will be required for the NVC stage.
