No you can't use an approved I-129F for a fiancee that is now your wife. Send them a letter withdrawing the petition. If the Consulate contacts your wife, she can tell them she is now married and will apply for a spouse visa. They'll know what to do.

Like I told you. Read my response again. When your spouse tells them they aren't applying as fiancee, they'll know what to do. What part of my post did you not understand?

no you cannot.. the petition might have been approved but their is still no visa.... if you tried to get a visa based on the I-129F it would be refused by the consulate as being no longer eligible

YMMV

The only thing you should have sent with the RFE response was a letter specifically stating that you are withdrawing the petition because you are now married. They obviously ignored your letter because you responded with whatever they had asked for. Otherwise, your petition would not have ultimately been approved.

If you don't withdraw the petition then it will be sent to the consulate, and your fiancee will be notified to submit some forms indicating they are ready for a visa interview. Obviously, your fiancee should not respond to this request nor take any action that indicates they will be applying for the K1 visa. In order to avoid potential problems with having multiple approved petitions at the consulate it would be best if you send a letter to USCIS withdrawing the petition.

This isn't rocket science. You don't need a lawyer. You just need a clear unambiguous letter to USCIS informing them that you want to withdraw the petition because you are now married.

12/15/2009 - K1 Visa Interview - APPROVED!

12/29/2009 - Married in Oakland, CA!

08/18/2010 - AOS Interview - APPROVED!

05/01/2013 - Removal of Conditions - APPROVED!

Like previous posters have suggested, and you seem to be aware of, ignore the I129f approval (or rather, don't plan to make use of it). Obviously, USCIS is confused or mistaken or behind in their paperwork but since you've applied for the I130, it's important you pursue THAT petition and remind the USCIS again that you no longer wish to pursue the I129f because you are now married.

You don't *need* a lawyer to straighten this out, but you do need to send a few clearly worded letters indicating which path you are pursuing along with relevant file numbers.
