Filed I-130, Do I have time to file I-129F

[jonMullick 0]

I filed my I-130 at vermont in September for my wife.

Now I am thinking for K3 visa, Can I file I-129 now?

Is there any advantage of doing so?

I would very much appreciate your insight/suggestion.

Any time after getting NOA1 from the I-130. See the K-3 guide.

You can either wish to file I130 or not. I have heard that if you file the I130, then it speeds up the process (but dont know how far is that true). I think you can still file I129F, if you havent received the I130 approval. Once your I130 is approved, then you cannot file I129F.

Good Luck!!

you need to file the I-130 before you can file the I-129 for the K3

you can file K3 after you receive the NOA1 from the I-130.....
