Once married then how one can apply for I-129F after I-130? 

Isnt 129 F for fiance ?

I129f can also be used to file for a K3 spousal visa, not just a K1 fiance visa, though K3 visas are effectively dead and rarely issued. The reason people have been filing them anyways though is because, well, as you can probably guess from Pushbrk's post, to attempt to speed up the approval of the I130

Our CR1 Journey:

  • Sep 19 2019: I130 NOA2 (Approved - 217 days from NOA1)

 

NVC Stage:

  • Sep 27 2019: Sent to Department of State
  • Oct 31 2019: Case number received (34 days since sent)
  • Nov 1 2019: IV & AOS fees received & paid
  • Nov 14 2019: IV & AOS submitted
  • Dec 18 2019: All docs accepted, but one additional doc requested (5 weeks from submission)
  • Dec 18 2019: Requested doc submitted
  • Feb 19 2020: Documentarily Qualified (9 weeks from 2nd submission, 14 weeks from first submission)

 

Interview Stage:

  • Mar 11 2020: Interview letter received
  • Apr 1 2020: Interview date
  • Mar 17 2020: Interview cancelled due to COVID-19
  • August 3 2020: Rescheduled letter received, new appointment August 25 2020

Thx for sharing this.

Well i should consider this 129 F to speed up the approval because i am now transferred to VSC and their processing time is 20 months.

Now would be a good time.  It only costs you some effort and postage.

So long as the petitioner is a US citizen, you have nothing to lose, so you might as well

I paid for I 130, and files it online. Do I have to Pay for I 129F? When its completed, should I sent it to the center it was transferred to? 

No fee for the I-129F in this circumstance.  Follow the instructions for filing for a spouse.  Study the I-129F instructions. There is no substitute for doing so.
