questions for the i-129f

[ctygl 0]

'm sending in my i-129f and I had a few questions. I have submitted the i-130 . Dh entered ewi and we will have to submit the I-601.

1st question Addresses

When it asks for finace's address abroad, do you put anything? And what did you put for current address, did you put address here in the US?

2nd question Fees.

This is what the USCIS has on the web site for fees.

Filing Fee :

$455. There is no fee for petitions for K-3 status based on an immigrant petition filed by the same U.S. citizen or wife.

My lawyer said that I would fall under area of no fee. I have submitted the I-130. But he was checking on it because its not very common for the USCIS to put a no filing fee on an application. I tried calling the customer service number but just got an automated system. What do you guys think?

1) You should put your fiance's address as where the person is currently right now. Abroad address means not presently in the USA, since the application is US based. On my application, I put Philippines as thats where my fiance's is as of right now; her permanent residence abroad. Until she is here in the US, regardless of my petition, her address will still be her abroad address, in the Philippines.

2) UCSIS fees are listed in USCIS.gov website and on the link Immigration Forms. It should be the second button link from the left.

3) Are you petitioning your fiance and a relatives as well (her mom, dad, sibling)? If you are filiing for two different people, I believe you will have to file for the I-130 fee ($355) as well.. I may be mistaken.

If you can go without a lawyer, I would do so. There are enough people here in this forum to help you out. Im saving $1500 in lawyer fees and found out all my answers to my questions are here in this forum.

Good luck to you.

I am just applying for husband. I just read in a post here that someone called USCIS and they said its not fee. So would you send without fee? I just find that really odd.

Assuming that you are submitting the I-129 as a K-3 petition, there is no fee according to the instructions for the newest I-129f here http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-129Finstr.pdf . Please note that this petition is sent to the same Service Center where your I-130 is being processed. It is important to get that right! You will need a copy of the I-130 Notice of Action, NOA 1, to be filed with the I-129f.

Make sure you are aware of the CDJ pilot program for waiver submission and the need for an Infopass appointment after his denial. http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=22200

K3 interviews are taking 4-6 months in CDJ once the approved petition has been forwarded to CDJ so that will give you an idea of how much time you have to prepare your 601 and evidence. CDJ hardship letter information here: http://ciudadjuarez.usconsulate.gov/wwwhcishardship.html

Thanks guys!

I did call this morning and double check with USCIS and yes they did say no fee. I did send it to the address on my NOA1, today. I have been looking on my processing times on this site and I'm estimating that the interveiw will be around the end of february.
