Guys please help me as I don't know what to do.. I sent the I-129f because I wanted to speed things up.. now things have changed and I feel like that was the STUPIDEST decision I made in my entire life.. I don't know why I ever filed the dang thing. I got touches on my I-130 yesterday and now today on BOTH.. I keep debating back & forth whether or not to cancel the k3 or just let it ride and see what happens.. has anyone gotten just the I-130 approved lately? I know, I know I should have realized this before but I just really regret sending that dang k3 !!!!!!
the K3 is about 1 year faster than the CR1 going through CDJ mexico.
That's really not as true anymore.. NVC is only taking about 3 months and then the interview is 2 months after that.. it sped up ALOT since when I originally filed my k3 with that thinking..
At this point if you cancle your K3/129f petition now, it will nto speed up the I-130. They are where they are at this point. One approval will have nothing to do with the other. Although they put them together each petition stands alone when it comes to documentation and filling out the form.
You can choose which one you want once they are approved, chances are they will be approved together.

No, you cannot choose which one you want once they are approved. It used to be that way but not now.
If you want an immigrant visa, don't file an I-129F.

You can request the I130 petition be removed from storage and forward onto the NVC. A friend of mine did this. But the person concern is that if she cancles the I129f it will speed up the process. At this point I do not believe this is so, but I am sure you will correct me if I am wrong.

I find it strange that on my wifes I-130 and I-129F I put we were filing for a K3 and they both went to the NVC after they were aproved. I chose the K3 because I called CDJ and they told me the non immigrant visa appointments were issued about a month after the recieved the approved petition from NVC and immigrant visa appointments were issued after about 9 months from when they recieved the approved petition. I emailed the NVC and told them we were going to get the K3 and they replied that the I130 would be returned to USCIS.
