new to the k-3 process

[limah 1]

hello all. i am new to this website. I think this is just what I needed. I must admit that I am both a little discouraged and excited. I've only been married to my husban since 4-20 this year, and I havent mailed off 1 single thing!

It's a money thing with me! I am waiting on my husband to wire me the money for the forms. Can somebody fill me in? Which form do I file first, I-129f, OR THE I-130?

At this point, I dont really have anything to add to a timeline. Those are soooooo inspirational. Some of u have really decent time frames going on here, some people I hear have to wait a year and more on their loved oned to get here.

I kinda need yall, right now. I am so stressed out, and I am just starting out, technically, I haven't started anything untill this weekend. How do you all make it??!! i know I have at least 6 months ahead.

which form first? can someone enlighten me please?

thanks so much!!!

First off Congratulations on your marriage.

The first thing you will send off is the I130, to get all you will need.

Yes this is true I-130 filed first , but if you would like to possibly see your husband as soon as six months from now please file the I-129 immediately following the I-130. I have a friend who has already gone through this process. Her husband is now here in the states after only a little under 6 months. I say this with urgency due to the fact that I personaly regret waiting to long to process my I-129 form. Only after 25 days after filing the I-130 it was approved and because of that I could not file the I -129.My Husband is presently in Nigeria while I'm here in the states I hope this information could be of some help. I could connect you with my friend who I know will be of great help to you concerning this matter.

I thought you can file I-129F once you have NOA1 from I-130. Isn't it true?

Yes that is true. You must have your NOA1 from the I-130 before filing the I-129F.

Hi and welcome to VJ. You will find VJ a great resource of information, experiences and support. Being seperated from your partner sure is no fun and this process can send you batty sometimes...but we make it through somehow. VJ definately helps in that regard. As desperatewife stated.....read the guides section which is at the top of each page. It will show you what you need to submit. Any questions, just ask.

All the best to you on your visa journey.

Good luck and try not to worry too much. This process is extremely overwhelming at first, but it will get better. The best thing to do is take a deep breath and start working on your I-130. Getting that first NOA-1 is a huge relief and gives you a sense of making some progress...I certainly started to feel better after that! Just keep working at it day by day, and before you know it, you will be well on your way to being with your honey.
