Hi All, I posted the same in IR1, so sorry in advance for the duplicate post. I got approved for both my I-129F and I-130 petition today! :dance: I received the email about the I-129F around 9:30pm tonight, and about 2 hours got the email for the I-130. Now the dilemma on which visa to go with. Lets say we decided to wait for a few extra months more and get the CR1 visa because its better, how would I go about cancelling the K-3? Also, what is a realistic time for each visa to finish at NVC and then the embassy for my wife to be able to actually enter the U.S.?

Congrats on the approvals! For the K3, I would plan on about 4-5 weeks for it to get to NVC, about one week (or less)for it to go through NVC, then from the day it leaves NVC I would plan on about 6 more weeks until the date of the interview in Lima. You would probably be looking at an interview date of around Christmas time.

I don't really know what to tell you regarding CR1 because we decided from the start to go with K3 and therefore I haven't read anything or kept up on the CR1 process. You could probably get a decent idea of a timeline by checking out recent timelines on the "Immigration Timelines" tab.

Thank you Erika's Husband! I am 99.9% sure we are going to go with the K-3 too just because we want to be together as soon as possible, even if that means another year of dealing with USCIS with the AOS stuff. Plus, if I remember correctly, I believe if your I-130 and I-129F get approved at the same time, don't they hold off on forwarding the I-130 to NVC and go ahead with the I-129F? If i'm right, then it doesn't matter as CIS chose it for us, but if i'm mistaken, please correct me.

Congratulations!! on your approvals.

Unless you requested Consulate Processing on your I-130 the standard practice is for USCIS to retain the I-130 for AOS.
