My bad, can’t say you said it as i haven’t heard you saying it.

If you didn’t say it, you suggested/meant it.

Hey people,

Criminal records is not a problem for us since we are all clean. We are just sad of not seeing each other more often. I just try not to exceed 2 weeks as a visitor every time I travel in order to be clean at the eyes of the inmigration officers. I avoid staying for too long to prove that I have ties to my home country. Just wondering if USCIS will ignore the I-129F form and just keep reviewing the I-130 case. Not trying to skip waiting times but for at least stay longer with my family while we wait for approval. It's been almost 6 months already since we received NOA1.

So far they have not been doing anything with the I129Fs really. By the time they get around to your I129F the I130's processing time will probably already be here, so I don't think I129F will really have any significant impact. It hasn't done anything for anybody since October, as others have said. However, Nebraska's I130 processing times may start to shorten due to large amounts of case transfers to other service centers. I've seen a few of IOEs being worked on in Nebraska as well, way before the 12-16 month processing time, but not sure due to what or if this is going to be a "regular pattern", just throwing that out there though

There is no harm to apply for K3 since it free. However, 99% your I-130 will approved before K3, so it just a matter of personal choice.
