Hello

Today we got approval for our 129F but I am surprised that I did not got approval for I130. I have seen usually that approval is given either on I130 alone or to both I130 and I129F at the same time. Therefore, I am not sure whether this is good or not. Have anybody else has gone through this situation as of mine. Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.

I would also like to add that it is an expedite case as my husband had a severe accident few week back.

Thanks in advance

I wanted to congratulate you for the approval, but have no idea about why one was approved and not the other or anything. I hope it works out! :thumbs:

Congratulations on the approval! I'm sorry to hear about the accident, though. Is he on the mend? Perhaps the USCIS just expedited the I 129F. I understand there is more processing that has to be done with an I-130, so they probably were just not done with it, and figure you can be reunited with an I-129F approval.

I think ThaiFamily is right. The I-129F is delivered straight from the NVC to the embassy (see my timeline). Maybe that's why they approved the I-129F. Plus the fact that there is usually a long wait time for IR1 immigrant visa interviews at the embassy.

Btw, did you receive the approval in the USCIS website or through snail mail? We already received the NOA2 through snail mail for the I-129F and I've already received a letter from the embassy and set up my interview, but my I-129F still shows pending in the USCIS website!

Thank you so much.

Daisychain yes I received my I129F noa2 in my email. I am happy for the approval we got, but I wanted to pursue CR1 path. We relaised after filing the k3 and after loto steps that following CR1 is also not taking that much time. We can see so many cases recently(of CR1) who have got their interview date from NVC in a month or so. On the other hand K3 visa also takes that much time(though slightly less), but here we need to do the AOS later. In the case of CR1 we can avoid this additional step and save some money too.

Therefore, my question if we want to follow CR1 path then what can we do, as our I130 is not approved.

Thank you so much.

Theoretically the I-130 takes longer to process.. check if its been "touched" maybe it'll be approved in a day or so...
