Where is new I-129F?

[Seperated_Lovers 0]

Thanks GOD, today i recieved NOA1 for I-130.

Now, given all the rumors about IMBRA, should I not file I-129F for her?

If I should then where is the new form? Or should I use the old one?

If I use the old one, or those who used the old form I-129F, will USCIS return it to us to ask questions about background check?

Please clear up this confusion for me. Those who filed I-129F for K3 after March 6th, 2006 please give me some suggestios.

I am waiting.

Thanks a million in advance.

The present I-129F is still in use. USCIS has given no instructions for this form not to be used. It is still the current form. When they require further information they will send out an RFE. So my advice is to file the I-129F if you are wishing to do K-3. There is no time like the present.

All the best

It sounds like you're married and wondering if a K3 from Pakistan will be longer or more difficult than a straight I-130. No one knows the full impact of IMBRA yet. But you could hedge your bets. You could sumbit the I-129f and see if it's approved faster. If not, just continue with the I-130.

The USCIS requested OMB Approval of the new I-129F Form by June 9... that's tomorrow... Can you wait one more day?

Congrats on getting NOA1 so quickly. I was told it takes 4 to 6 weeks.. I sent mine out the same day you did, but it was at the TSC so maybe Vermont is just faster at this point..

So I should wait to post off my I-129f petition then too? Gee I hope the new form is ready soon because I wouldn't like to get an RFE weeeeeeep....

I was going to wait to file the I-129f, but this morning I have looked at the expiration date on the current form and it is for the 30th of June. I don't have time to wait that long so I am going to just go with it and send ours in on Monday. If they post the new one on the site between now and then, then I will do it over and send that one in on Monday instead, but I won't be holding my breath that they will update it. Knowing my luck lol, they will update it the day AFTER I post it. My father always said I was the walking definition of Murphy's Law lol.

I wonder will there be an increase in the filing fee with the new form?

If you go ahead and send it now with the old form, don't send a new one when you see it. That will confuse the whole situation. You will be better off waiting until they send you a RFE to request the additional information that will be missing from your original I-129 petition.

Strike that. They have now asked for an additional 30 days for comment which ends June 26. Given their inefficiency regarding this entire process, it now seems unlikely that they will actually provide a form (let alone any information) before the end of July.

I sent out my I-129f petition yesterday. As far as getting an RFE that still isn't guaranteed that K-3 petitioners will get one, but even if we do, I won't be bothered. At this rate we will probably be better off going through with the I-130/CR-1...Either way, I am not going to worry because that isn't going to get us any closer to the end. FAITH FAITH FAITH...oh and yeah...patience lol.

Goodluck to everyone
