Quicker I-130 Approval?

[Jon and Gay 3]

Now listen to me i know most of you people are going to think this is some joke or bull but im dead serious1

I got my I130 approved a little over a month..

I sent a I129F

So im guessing if yo send a I129F after your I130 they approve it faster.. Also som others that got approved within a month sent a I129F so if you put two and two together.. it makes sense

I figure the uscis gets the I130 then puts it in a cabinet.. then later you send a 129f they need to go to your i130 to check so they probobly pull it out of the cabinet. Then the uscis guys probobly like.. man since i already got his i129f in my hand and his i130 i might as well check on his case now cause i dont want to have to refile the papers in order back in the cabinet.. So since he alreayd has it in his hand he probobly works on it real fast.

I know it sound bogus but thats my thought

Dont forget to update your timeline.

Ive seen a petition on here that only took 17 days.... I cant believe thats true.. I think they didnt enter the dates right on the chart... Idk.. Lol its all just a waiting game after filing. Some wait days, some weeks & others months and even years... Its not productivly or efficiently worked on so its just hard saying... I do kno my attorney who is a k-1/k-2 visa specialist has informed me after i inquired, that he hasnt had any case go over 8 months in the past 10 years and he also reports that many cases waiting for so long are due to lack of knowledge, inproper filing, ect ect. Errors on the filers behalf.. He also reports this is not the biggest case load uscis has seen and there are more then just 2 workers working on petitions... Attention shifts from 1 petition to another but never fully stops on the other petitions.. And as for the dream act petitions, they mite get extra attention for a short time but only due to the over whelming amount coming in.. The priority is all petitions not just a certain type and they shuffle them around in caseloads actively working on all types... This site is filled with so many ppl complaing!! And i understand the complaints but i dont understand the way people intentionally try n drag others down into their pity party.... Inaccurate info is flying all over this site! Making people lose hope and that makes the waiting seem longer... Stay positive & supportive , my guess is the short time ur waiting wont compare to the lifetime of being 2gether... Like my fiance says... This is just a minute in our forever!! This post may inspire people so stop trying to exploit his happiness becuz your in despair... Ive been on here 4 days maybe 3 now and its all i see!! Its disgusting how derogitory ppl r... Were all here for the same reason and not one of us is better then the other or deserve anything less or more then the next petitioner.. If ur this frustrated maybe u need to find God again... Cuz even wen u lose hope he doesnt!!

You have uncovered a real gem here and " Probobly" found the real hidden secret to the inner workings of USCIS. The search for the Grail is over. The thinking of a USCIS guy is now known at last.

OR you just got lucky.

I appreciate that the OP wants to help others. I only filed an I-130 and we were approved in 27 days (NOA1-NOA2). There is another thread on this site where an ex-uscis adjudicator talks about the process. It actually only takes 15 minutes or so to adjudicate your case. But there are background checks and other checks and some people with common names like, John Smith, might get a "hit" on the background checks. It just has to do with Odds. The more people who have a name like yours the greater the chance that one is a criminal. It's little things like that.

OKAY okay.. Im just trying to give people hope.. It doesnt hurt to try to file the 129f its free

Free? I'm not sure what I-129F you filed, but mine was far from FREE.

People are not being dramatic. The title of this post is very misleading and the other people posting out there want to ensure that the correct information is available. For you to say that people are dramatic is a bit insensitive. If I was waiting for a petition that was taking over 8 months or longer to be approved, while being seperated from my loved one then I would be, in your a opinion, a bit "dramatic" in correcting the OP.

You might want to think about that before you post a comment about being dramatic.

Free? I'm not sure what I-129F you filed, but mine was far from FREE.

As part of a spousal visa chase it is free. We already paid $420 for the I-130, so if you want to try and chase the more expensive, obsolete k3, they let you file the I-129F for free.

[fcat 79]

Free? I'm not sure what I-129F you filed, but mine was far from FREE.

It is free to file an I-129F after you have already filed an I-130, still wont do you any good though(IMO)

[Carie_Azan 35]

why would anyone file both, either your married, or not. Right?

[fcat 79]

Read up on what a K3 visa is(or was)and you'll see why.

[MeredythB 38]

why would anyone file both, either your married, or not. Right?

Yes, but filing the I-129 for the K-3 visa would allow the foreign spouse to reside in the US while waiting for the immigrant visa approval. They rarely make it to NVC these days, thereby making this track pretty much obsolete.

Great information! It makes sense...how difficult could it be to adjudicate the form itself. Fifteen minutes would make sense.

Having an unusual name clearly would make the background check faster. Other than that I suppose it's luck, since I don't think you can successfully argue the process is well managed.

Again, you can correct the op without being so dramatic. You are entitled to your own opinion but you don't even know who I was referring to when I said that general statement. She came on here with good intentions an whether you did what she said or not it is everyone's responsibility to research and double, triple, quadruple check the way they apply for these things.

The way most people responded was so defensive as if she meant to mislead anyone. And if you see someone already responded to her post saying EXACTLY what u were going to say, maybe refrain from posting it. No body needs to see the same thing a million times, I'm sure she has no problem reading it the first time.

Im not spreading false information.. Im just telling it how it is. Thats my thought..

SO far me and Gomon and some other people sent a 129f witht here I130 and we got approved less then 3 months... (mine in a monthe and a half)

Yes, that is spreading false information. I get that you're trying to help, but your situation is not the norm. Many times, approval has to do with the luck of the draw. Your thread title is going to cause a lot of hopes to rise falsely, which only makes this process more stressful.
