Back in April 2020 I filed the I-129F for a K3 visa hoping it will speed up my I-130. My I-130 was approved in June 2020 and now I only have the visa interview left for my CR-1 journey. 

On 14 July 2020 USCIS send me a RFE for the K3, what should I do about it? Didn’t they see my I-130 was already approved and just deny my K3? should I call them and tell that there is no need to process the K3 any longer or just leave it?

If the I-130 has been approved then the K-3 is closed. You may not have an official notification yet that it has been closed but it has. Ignore the RFE. Wait for the I-130 to be sent to the NVC and proceed with that stage of the process. 

Timeline in brief:

Married: September 27, 2014

I-130 filed: February 5, 2016

NOA1: February 8, 2016 Nebraska

NOA2: July 21, 2016

Interview: December 6, 2016 London

POE: December 19, 2016 Las Vegas

N-400 filed: September 30, 2019

Interview: March 22, 2021 Seattle

Oath: March 22, 2021 COVID-style same-day oath

 

Now a US citizen!

Hi, which service center was your i130 processed from? And which service center handled your i129f (k3)? Did K3 help in getting the i130 approval? Please explain.

And, did you eventually cancel the k3?

2.  And, did you eventually cancel the k3?

1.  See her timeline.  No, K-3s don't help.

2.  Per other poster above, the I-129F is canceled when the I-130 is approved.
