In the mail today I received the approval letters for both the I-130 and the I-129F. So July filers, have hope because you may also get an early Xmas present from the USCIS

Since they seem to have paired up the applications, the I-130 approval letter says that we will need to file the I-485 to adjust status as I expected. The plan now is for me to file form I-824 to move the I-130 along and eventually get the CR-1. In the meantime, we will let the K-3 go through so she can come here earlier.

I thought with the holidays we might be waiting until next month, so this was a great surprise.

CONGRATULATIONS!! GREAT CHRISTMAS PRESENT I AGREE!!!

I was just wondering... where can I find info regarding filing I-485 to adjust status and form I-824 to move I-130 along. I thought that being that I-129F is going to NVC/Embassy (k-3 route) that when beneficiary is in US then we could file AOS/EAD before 2 year anniversary? Please share because I don't want to miss anything or mess up anything. Thanks!

When you file for the K-3 visa and CIS is able to pair your I-130 with your I-129F, then they assume you want the K-3 and they will only send the I-129F on to the NVC. What they expect and probably what most people do is to have your spouse arrive here in this country on the K-3 then file the I-485 to do the AOS which is what you mention above.

In our case, however, we prefer the CR-1 visa since there is no AOS required and the cost is much less. We have no problem if my wife needs to go back to Taiwan later for her CR-1 interview, so I've chosen to file the I-824 to tell CIS to go ahead and send the I-130 to the NVC as well. It will probably take extra months for the CR-1 to make its way to Taiwan and get an interview scheduled. In the meantime, we will still let the K-3 process continue and she can come here on the K-3, we just won't file for AOS, but wait for the CR-1 interview to be scheduled.

Keep us posted on your I824 since very few people on VJ have reported doing it.
