USCIS gave right or wrong informations

[nbrown0247 0]

Hello to everyone. I contacted the USCIS and the State Department, before starting all the petition process...But now by reading all the sites I think both have given me very confusing and wrong information.

I was married in Nigeria, Africa

Before starting I asked and was told by both if married in Nigeria, Africa is it recondnized in the US... There response was no they are not and that I would have to petition for I-129 for fiance'. Not the I-130 since it was not recodnized here.

Through long research and reading I think now I should have sent I-130 first and then it is followed by the I-129,K-3, I-,485, and many other forms.

A person I spoke to at USCIS said this will be ok as long as I sent all the document required for the I-130 which I did...But what I am think now is should I efile the I-130 to USCIS while they are processing the I-129. or wait and see when they send the I-797 to submitt the I-130 and fee.

Also will this delay my petitioning process..

Then when talking to a friend which is going through the same process but is not married, told me that she was told to have her fiance file for K-1 visa while I-129 is being process to make time shorter.... I this right should I have my husband all do this? Him and I are already getting all the papers ready for his interview sometime in the future.

I am really confused now.

I was married in Nigeria as well. I filed the I-130 first and then when then sent me the receipt I made a copy and filed the I-129F. Youshould call the USCIS and ask them what could be done. Don't panic I am sure there is and easy solution. Be encouraged!

Since you are married the I-129F petition for K-1 visa is not an available option since you significant other is now your spouse and no longer your fiance(e).

The alien spouse or fiance(e) cannot petition for the visa as it must be done by the US citizen. You can prepare all the documents but the consulate will not accept the actual visa application until they have the approved petition from the USCIS
