I applied for the K3 yesterday. Just mailed it out. At this stage it’s a no brainer. I got my fingers crossed 🤞

And the fact it's taking exactly one month from receipt of K3 is pretty amazing. @GAMAJM, have you considered doing the same? It might pull your approval to August.

Our I-129 PD is July 1st, I’m crossing my fingers so hard! Our I-130 pd is Sept 21st.

If you file K-3, do you have to pay the $535 fee again?  It's listed under filing fees on their website:  https://www.uscis.gov/i-129f

I think so yes...T_T

I was too cheap to pay the $535 fee again.

If you have paid the $535 to file your I-130 you do NOT pay to file k3

No. It is free with a copy of the NOA-1 for the I-130.

Although people are interpreting your experience to suggest that all you need to do is apply for K3 and this will somehow expedite an approval, I am not sure that is actually what is happening. It could very well be that this K3 had nothing to do with the I-130 getting approved.

 

The reason I think skepticism is warranted is because people should be careful about what they do with these immigration applications, be there *is* something to lose, in theory. There is another element to this discussion that people don't address here, and that is whether the actual act of applying for the K3 might prejudice the outcome of the case in some way that is *not* beneficial, whether it be by opening up another branch of bureaucratic processes that slows down or crosses wires somewhere, or by simply sending an unintended signal to the government that will manifest in some unknown way later.

 

I think people are not accounting for the above risks and everyone here seems to be whipping themselves into a frenzy that this is an easy way to solve the I-130 processing delay problem,  but without due consideration of potential unintended and unforeseen consequences. The stakes seem too high to just make these sorts of presumptions.

I am so pissed that they are basically forcing us to file the k3, we shouldn't have to do this, we shouldn't have to wait so long, and the fact it's working just shows that they have no idea of what they're doing =(
