Filing I-130 and also I-129F

[Sri Batchu 0]

Hi Guys,

I been reading that K-3 is obsolete now over these forums. My question is, does it hurt in any way to file both I-130 and I-129F even though I-129F is obsolete?

Thanks!

It makes it slower. I-130 is pulled out of line and sent back to the beginning of the queue once they get the I-129F.

Both of ours were approved at the same time and then 129F was administrativly closed. 129F was very mute.

K-3 administratively closed - 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/

K-3's are so 'last decade'. Why to think to bother with them, really? Is double work at the beginning, slows down the I-130 adjudication queue, and in the end, NVC closes it. I'm thinking you can do other things to participate in an exercise in futility - why to go this route??

Thank you so much guys! My only concern is that when filing for I-130, for form G-325A of myself, for question "This form is submitted in connection with an application for:", I selected other and specified I-129F for K3. I have already mailed out the I-130 petition. This is why I'm concerned if I need to file I-129F when I get NOA1 of I-130 or is it OK?

Please advise.

From the sounds of it, you probably don't need to file I-129F at all.

Just do the I-130 process ...

This is not an issue if the G325a was mailed with the I-130. They will simply use the information and forward the approved petition to NVC.

Thank you guys. Yes, G-325A was mailed along with I-130. Hopefully, all I need to do now is just wait for my I-130 to get approved and not worry about filing I-129F.
