You are meant to wait for the I130 receipt notice (NOA1) and file the I129F with a copy of it. However, some people actually mail both petitions together or mail the I129F with a copy of the cashed cheque for the I130.

I would suggest you read a few of the recent topics regarding the K3 visa (specifically those that say it is no longer valid) before you decide to take the K3 route. It seems to be a very grey area at the moment.

As for the affidavit of support, you will need to provide that for your husband to take to his K3 interview. So once you receive your approval (NOA2) and are told your case is being forwarded to the NVC you should begin compiling all the required documents for the affidavit.

Thank you so much for your quick response. I have been reading on here about the question of the k3 being canceled and Ive been debating on whether I should try it or not,(just because I want him here as fast as possible.) The thing I have with the affadavit of support is that I didnt file taxes last year( I didnt make enough) I do make enough for 2 people now though, and my employer will make a letter stating my hire date, my wages, and that I am full time, but now I got hurt at work and am on L&I and I just found out I need surgery on my shoulder, and they dont know if there will be any permanant damage and if Ill be able to continue my kind of work. Which means I will have to be retrained. On L&I I dont make enough to sponsor him by my self and I dont know if Ill have a co-sponsor available. So Im not sure what to do now.

Oh and I noticed you got your visa recently, CONGRATS!!!!!
