Really appreciate the help everyone - that's helped out a lot! Thankfully we've already got the forms filled out and fee ready to go so we'll get the ball rolling with this info here!

Hi all, My Wife and I got married in Iowa back in August and we're looking for a bit of clarification on the I-130 process and using a non-immigrant visa to stay in the US during the approval process. From what I understand we would need to file the I-130 form and then file a I-129F form once this has been received in order for me to be able to live and work in the US during the approval process for the I-130. Is this correct? I'm currently living in the UK and my wife is a US citizen living in Iowa, and we're just trying to wrap our heads around the processes so that we can have the easiest transition into living together in the US - if this isn't necessarily correct would anyone be able to give me a point in the right direction with this? Cheers for any feedback!
