I-130 and I-129F Approved

[SRA 0]

Thank God, our I-130 and I-129F for K-3 visa were approved together on 7/29/2009. It has been about four months since I filed the I-130. Now I am thinking which route to take. I-129F will probably lead to a quicker interview date at the Consulate, while I-130 will lead to an Immigrant visa. Any thoughts anyone?

I-130 takes maybe a month or two longer, but well worth the wait as you get greencard right away. K3 requires alot more paperwork and is more expensive.
