Can a I-129F and a I-134 exist simultaneously?

Hey there,

 

I apologize if I am posting in the wrong group. 

Last month I filed my I-129F form for my Venezuelan fiancé who is living in Peru.

Around the same time I sent my form to USCIS, The Biden Administration launched a new entry program that allows Venezuelans to stay in the US.

My question is how do I find more information about this? Could he apply for this entry program and our I-129F petition remain active? I called USCIS and the representative I talked to seemed unsure about whether it is allowed to submit an I-134 after submitting an I-129F. 

Thank you!

Yes

 

Lots of Ukrainians have gone down this route.

Thank you. I already read the information available on the USCIS website, but I cant seem to find any information about having an active I-129F petition and filing a I-134. I'm not very knowledgeable about US immigration however I am doing my best to learn.

You can not find it because it is not there.

No problem with filing an I-134 to get travel authorization, even with a pending I-129F.  If your Venezuelan beneficiary qualifies, the I-134 will likely be processed long before the I-129F.  Once your beneficiary gets the travel authorization, enters the US, and marries you, the I-129F will become moot.
