Hello everyone,

I am hoping that someone can guide me in the right direction. I am still totally lost when it comes to understanding the whole visa process. I filed our I130 in January. I have been procrastinating about filing the 129F. I had planned on filing it next week when I return from visiting my husband in Morocco. We printed the forms yesterday and completed them. I checked my email this morning and found that our I130 has been approved. Does this mean that I can forego filing the 129F?

And if not; what will be the next step for us? The email stated that a letter has been mailed to me explaining everything, but I am here in Morocco and we are anxious to know what exactly does the approval mean.

We would greatly appreciate any advice :help:

I believe that you still have time to file the I129f, but it has to be done before the I130 reaches the consulate in your husbands country. Basically what is going to happen now is, your I130 is going to be sent to NBC where it will sit for a bit while they send both you and your hubby some forms that will have to be sent back asap. Once they get everything back from both ends, it will be then sent to the consulate. IMO, I think you should just wait for the I130. Chances are, it will be done before you are even thought of for an interview for the I129f. But then again, these things have a mind of their own. Good luck with your journey!!

Yea I would agree. I think the CR1 visa is the best but if you want to file for the I-129f you should be able to do so as well.

Definitely, I would stick to the CR-1 and forget the K-3 visa. The next step will be the NVC stage of the process. Try to find a link called James shortcuts and that will tell you exactly what you need to do.
