I-129f filed right after I-130

[Brusik 11]

The question is not "will it...?" but "has it...? and the answer is yes. Filing the I-129F took your I-130 out of its place in line and put them both back whatever period of time between the two filings. Ultimately the I-129F will be closed administratively by the National Visa Center when it and the I-130 approved on the same day, arrive at NVC together.

Yes, really. Five minutes of reading in the K3 forum here would have prevented you from filing the I-129F.

Ditto

The above is wrong. The I-129F is also used as a second petition in spouse cases, intended to follow through to a K3 spouse visa. It doesn't work anymore but it will not confuse USCIS.

So if you send an I-129 followed by a I-130 this confuses USCIS as I have read on numerous post but if You send I-130 followed by I-129 this isnt confusing.. Personally any policy that is outdated or not of use can confuse USCIS. I've seen too many nightmare posts and too many bonehead mistakes committed by USCIS..I am not saying this delayed the process but one does have to wonder........

You also need to do the reading or refrain from posting misinformation about K3 issues. Filing an I-130 followed by an I-129F doesn't confuse USCIS because they are not doing anything different. The change in procedure is at NVC, AFTER USCIS approves BOTH petitions. NVC is Dept. of State. USCIS is Dept. of Homeland Security. They might as well be on different planets.

True! Not to mention that lately, the I130 takes the same time if not faster than the I129f it's even considered, so WHY bother with it?!

Then I will have to go back and find all the post people said that filing I-129 and I-130 people said it would cause confusion

Pushbrk is correct. When I filed for my husband as a US citizen I filed the i-130 first, then I filed the i-129. At that time I was not aware of the k-3/k-4 not being available. So ,I wasted a lot of paperwork and time.... However, My i-130 was approved first which was great. Also it's really funny , because a month later uscis sent me a REF for the 1-129f requesting photos, but it was no need to send them because the i-130 was already approved and sent to nvc,but it also slowed our whole process down because I had to go back and file a separate i-130 for my step-son , because children are not automatically included with their parents.So, now my husband and I are waiting for the approval of my step-son's petition which I also requested to be expedited, so in essences the VJ family members are really loyal with helping with correct info, so now we are waiting for the little guy, so that I can complete the NVC process.

Knock yourself out. If you find any in the context of a spouse, just consider them "wrong". People post misinformation here many times every day. Please don't be one of them anymore.

The only time you filed both was K-3 visa.. I-129 and I-130.. Since K-3 is no longer valid the I-129 is not required... This is 2011 so why would anyone suggest a I-129 for CR1 visa???

When I was at American Embassy in Georgia Mr. Bass said I-129 for K-1 fiance visa and I-130 for CR1 visa...

I do always correct those who post incorrect information. Being corrected can be avoided by only posting what you know about. You too can know about the issues being discussed here if you'll do the reading in the K3 forum. This is not a new issue and it's not one of my first 100 times discussing it in the past year, not to mention the last five years.

your entitles to your opinion as I am entitled to mine.. You said it doesn't confuse USCIS and I say It can... You can hardy say that this an incorrect statement.. Prove to me that by sending an I-129 and I-130 together for a CR1 Visa that it can't cause issues.. I have seen to many mistakes on both sides... So why create a potential problem???

here's my opinion on your statment:

1- I130 sent followed by I129f -> K3 visa (for married couples)once in the US -> AOS(I485) ++

*this gives the possibility to non US spouse to enter the US before the aproval of I130, wait for the aproval and follow with the AOS!

2- I129f sent -> K1-> THAN marriage-> THAN I130 -> AOS(I485) ++

3- I130 sent-> beneficiary waits for the aproval in his/her home country -> CR1 -> aproval 2 yr. conditional GC

*for under 1 year marriage

4- same like #3 except that -> IR -> unconditional GC

*for +2 years marriage

Note that you can send I129f after I130, (and follow K3) BUT you can't send I130 after you sent I129f until after the marriage. I130 it's for spouse!

Thats what initial poster was talking about was spouse.. Someone told her I-129 speeds up process.. Then someone else responds in this thread someone sent I-129 and I-130 ... I-130 approved and I-129 got RFE..

Knowing USCIS history this could pose a problem... Don't you think that USCIS could have been working on another petition instead of RFE and obsolete I-129??

Why we even talking K-3 if it was replaced by CR1.. When you followr I-130 or CR1 guide where does it say include I-129??

I129 does not speed up anything, the only purpose of it it's to bring the non US spouse to the US and wait for the I130 petition to be aproved. That is called K3!! No confusion!

Lately the I130 get's aproved before the I129.

Hope this clears things out!
