K-3 or K-1?

[Brett-Rio 0]

Just new here today and already looks as if all want to help and be helped...Good luck to all of you on your journey.

Brief intro of our situation:

My wife and I had married in the philippines almost 1 year ago,and have been together for 2 years.And finally just starting our journey to always be together.So my first question is,can I file just for K-1(I-129f) or must I file for the K-3(I-130)?

Thanks to all that help,I am anxious to get started!

You are married, you cannot file for the K-1

K-3 is a dead

You'll want to file the I-130 for the Cr-1 spousal visa

ur married so u must file k-3 and u must be a us citizen to be eligible for k3

first send I-130 then I-129

This is incorrect. The I-129 is for a worker visa. K3 is no longer available so there's no need to file an "I-129F" for a spouse. Follow the IR1/CR1 guide.
