Thank you.

You’ll need to look up who the congressman is for your district. I know for mine he has a form to complete to expedite cases with a us gov facility. Yours should have something similar

I called USCIS and got semi-good news!! No approval yet BUT the guy on the phone DID say that the I-129f and the I-130 were both looked at on the 12th of August!! What I’m thinking is: they came across the I-129f, went and looked for the I-130 like everyone has been hypothesizing, and then placed it in a current pile to be looked at soon. It’s what I’m hoping at least!! Calling again in a few days to see what else happens! He also said that there were no negative remarks input in the comments of either case so yay! I129f 7/31/19 and I130 2/14/19!

Hi Everyone! Thanks for all of the useful information you guys are sharing for your journey. I've been assigned an IOE number on 8/22 (seems everyone July and onwards has) and the NSC. Should go ahead and file an 1-129F form as soon as possible in hopes that it will expedite the approval of my I-130 or should I wait a one to two months to make sure my I-129F is denied at the same time my I-130 is approved? Based on what i've read there is no I-129F filing fee for spouses as we are already legally married. Is that correct?

 

In case the I-129F is approved and we  end up getting a K-3 Visa,  can I still go through the regular CR-1 process or do I have to perform an AOS. We are planning to have a huge wedding event in December 2020 in USA and since we will have lots of my spouses family members flying in from out of country we want to make sure that she can enter the country for sure (either k-3 or CR1) and not take chances with an ETSA. After the wedding event she would return back to her country and continue working until she receives her CR-1 visa. The reason why we don't want to AOS while she is in the US with her K-3 visa is because she doesn't want to come and live in the USA unless she has the ability to work immediately which would be the case through the CR-1 process.

You can send the I-129F immediately, their protocol seems to be to find the associated I-130 so that they can approve the I-130 and deny the I-129F. I don’t believe you can continue with CR1 if you are already approved for a K3, but since the number of K3s approved last year was 3 worldwide, and likely even lower this year, the chance is very very minuscule to receive a K3

Yeah, i agree its pretty depressing right now. I'm considering sending an I-129F at this point but since i'm pretty much over the year point, I'm not too sure if it will make the processing faster or not.
