I know K3 is dead. I am talking about fiance visa I-129F. What I am saying is - it is fraud if you use fiance visa instead of spouse visa just because the process is faster.

I-129F is NOT only used for fiancé(e) visa.

Well! knowingly applying for I-129F after married is a immigration fraud.  So be prepare to answer question. A lot of people got deny because they got marry while waiting for I-129F visa. 

No it's not fraud. Please know the process before you accuse people.

 

Filing the I-129F after you have filed a I-130 is called going the K3 route. It's on the form. It use to be about 10 years ago a viable way for married couples to get their spouse here because I-130's use to take 5 to 6 years to get approved.

 

What happened around February was filers noticed at Nebraska the processing waits were so long so people started filing I-129F. In the majority of the cases of folks waiting almost 5 months or more it forced the service to look at their I-130 and approve it and thus denying the I-129F. Which is fine because all the filers wanted to begin with was the iI-130 approved and to move on to next stage.

 

No fraud. It's on the application and it's a choice for I-130 filers to also file the I-129F.

Well they didn't so why are you bringing it up. She clearly has her timeline stating a I-130 was filed. Please read before accusing.

That is not the scenario here.  Please do not dispense incorrect information.

Just curious - why do you apply for I-130 and I-129? 

I did it also, but it is not helping everyone. They just happened to be one of the lucky ones.

NVC says they are reviewing applications sent on Oct 11 on December 4. 
 

So currently 7-8 weeks. That’s around mid-January for you. Anything before that is fortunate. I think getting your hopes up for anything less than that is going to be a recipe for being miserable. 

Technically this week it should jump at the very least to October 21 as the CEAC website was down for uploading between the 11 and 20.

 

My first submission took 4 weeks to get reviewed. I am now almost at 3 weeks waiting on my 2nd submission to get looked at. 😞

How long did it take for your petition to be approved? Did you file I-130 and I-129f

They were at Texas Service Center; only place I129f has ever showed to have a connection with faster approval was Nebraska

Hi,

My application was at the Nebraska Center, and it is one of the centers that takes the longest to progress I-130. So I thought/told it would help speed up the process with the I-129F. Our I-130 was approved about a month after I filed the I-129F. 

Hello there first, I am happy to read that your I-130 went through!!! That's encouraging  did you file both petitions online? And do you know if it is necessary that the petitioner is already residing in the US? Thank you for your input and kind regards, ina

Online filing did not exist until November so it's certain that she paper filed. I believe she had an LIN and not an IOE receipt as well. No, the petitioner does not need to be in the US to petition, but will need to move to the US either before or at the same time as the beneficiary, and will have to prove later in the process either already re-established US domicile or intent to re-establish US domicile by time of interview
