I'm a bit confused...I saw some people post that if the I-129F petition is transferred from MSC to CSC "in order to speed up processing" [ - as was written on my I-797C], then that may mean a visa approval without the interview abroad???

No it just means that MSC is no longer processing I-129f petitions. They are transferring all the petitons to CSC or VSC for processing. Location is based on which region you live in.

Expedite?

I don't know! The expedite of the I-130 was expressly denied via letter. The I-129 transfer notice said that this is done "in order to speed up processing" (??).

AnnaF,

You are confusing transfers of I-129f petitions with transfers of I-485 applications.

USCIS does not approve visas and an I-129f petition is not a K-visa application.

I'm a bit confused...I saw some people post that if the I-129F petition is transferred from MSC to CSC "in order to speed up processing" [ - as was written on my I-797C], then that may mean a visa approval without the interview abroad???

Thank you, Yodrak. Could you please elaborate? I'm pretty sure that the K3 petition I have mailed to UCSIS was an I-129F. That is the case that just transferred for processing at CSC. What is an I-485? I also understand that USCIS does not approve visas, but they can certainly speed up the processing for turnover to NVC.

AnnaF,

The DoS consulates interview people for their visa applications. There's nothing that USCIS can do to eliminate a visa interview.

I-485 is the applciation to adjust status for people who enter the USA as non-immigrants. If you enter using a K3 visa, you will either have to adjust status or go back to your country for an immigrant visa in order to get your green card.

AnnaF,

You are correct. An I-129F is referred to as a K petition: K1 for a fiance(e) and K3 for a spouse. USCIS is only the initial approval level. They determine, among other things, if the prospective visa recipient is a security threat. The Department of State (at the NVC) receives approved petitions from the USCIS. The DoS can also deny a petition prior to a consular interview if they find something wrong with the petition. DoS is also the agency performing the interview at the individual embassy. This is the next to last step in the process. Assuming the recipient is approved after the interview, the final step is talking to US Customs and Immigration officials at the Point of Entry (POE) in the US. Once that person or persons approve the visa - Welcome to the US!
