no, the I-129F for the K-3 visa was killed earlier this year. No need to file it. Stay on the Cr-1 path

Good luck

Most people (especially the pro's on here) have suggested that you are wasting your time in processing both since the I-130's are processing faster than the I-129's and if both are approved, as in my own case, you will have to go with the IR-1. This is completely true! However, I find it beneficial to file both petitions because the I-129 is free after filing the I-130. Also, if you encounter any problems with your I-130 than the 129 may be a way to keep the process going without a major interruption.

You will hear many opinions on this but I believe in covering all bases just in case! Good luck!

I would file both.

Just file the I130. K3 is meant to get your spouse close to you while you wait for your I130 to be approved. If getting K3 aproved takes 3 months and I130 approved takes 3.5 months, why on Allah's blue earth would you want to add more paperwork on yourself? Just stick with I130 CR1/IR1 visa. Less paperwork, less headache. Plus, people with K3 visa seem to have trouble getting SSN, etc. It takes longer.

I would just do I130 CR1/IR1. And I have. K3, I think, is a waste of time and effort.

DO NOT WASTE TIME AND MONEY WITH A K3 Both petitions usually get approved on the same day which now makes the I-129f form for the K3 void and they process it as a CR1 or IR1 depending on the length of time you have been married. The K3 is a complete waste of money and doesnt get things done any faster at all as well as the person coming to the states on the visa cannot work upon arrival with a K3, you must wait and file for AOS to get permission for work, where as the CR1/IR1 allows for work as soon as you enter and they process the papers, they will give a temporary work stamp at JFK upon request

Since you already filed only I130, just as you should have, there's nothing to worry about. Just sit tight and weight for the process to unfold. Good luck.

The K-3 will be administratively closed if it travels together with the I-130, at NVC.

Also, if she wants to adjust status from a K-3, once in the USA, is another 1010 in fees.

IMO - stick with the I-130 petition - yer brother is right. The others, giving you advice to keep with the K-3? I must assume they've NOT read this -->> http://www.visajourney.com/news/2010/02/07/department-of-state-to-close-k-3-visas-if-i-129f-and-i-130-petitions-approved-and-received-together/

agreed with what darnell said. under K3 visa, ur spouse will have to adjust status which will take another couple of months. y go through the headache when both I-130 and I-29f take the same time frame. i would go with I-130 if i were u and have my spouse get the green card as soon as he gets here.
