Quick help with I-129F

[metinspain 0]

Hi everyone,

I've asked this question before, but need clarification... (please forgive me!):

We just got NOA1 for our I-130 (YAY!) and are now getting ready to send our I-129F. Question 11A says: "Have you ever filed for this or any other alien fiance or husband/wife before? If yes, give name of alien, place and date of filing and result."

Ok, so what do I put here? Do I check "yes" because I filed an I-130 for my husband? And if so, what do I put for date of filing and result? Do I put the date we MAILED the I-130? Or the date we received NOA1?? And what is the "result?" Do I just say "NOA1 Received?" (I mean, I can't say it's been approved at this stage.)

Confused as to what is appropriate to list here.

Thanks again for your continued help!

Why would you file the 129F? You said you are already married, The 129F is for Fiance

I don't know how everyone else did it, but I put "No" because I've never filed that form for anyone else before. The I-130 I filed prior to this I-129f was part of the same process, so I didn't count that. I don't know if that's what they mean, but that's how I did it.

The question doesn't ask for any immigrant petition you've filed someone. It asks if you have filed an I-129F for your spouse or any other person before. If this is the first time you've file an I-129F then asnwer no.

In my case I put "yes" because I petitioned my previous wife, but if this is your first time you should put "no"

[maria_b84 0]

definately put "no" if this is your first time ever

Thanks, that makes sense! (Guess we're just reading too much into the questions on the form again.) Really appreciate your help.

The reason you have to file the I-129F is because it is the same form used when applying for a K-3 Spousal Visa.Yes-it is called a Fience petition, but in fact it is also a spouse petition (you simply use the word spouse instead of Fience when reading the form)..The I-129F allows the alien spouse to come to the U.S. on a non immigrant K-3 Visa(just like the K-1 Visa allows),This way you and your alien spouse can be together in the U.S. while waiting for the I-130 Immigrant Visa to become approved-or something like that .The I-129F is a required form when applying for a K-3 spousal Visa.It is kinda confusing at first but once you figure it out it all makes sense

scy,

The question is, "Have you ever filed for this or any other alien fiance(e) or husband/wife before?"

I don't see the "I-129F" you mention in there .....

It doesn't say I-129F, but I interpreted that way. The question itself is too vague. You can choose to interpret it broadly and apply it to any petitions you've filed for an alien fiancee or spouse. I don't think the form intended the question to be that way so I choose the stricter interpretation of "have you ever filed an I-129F for anyone?"

The sample form on VJ marked no. I marked No on my I-129F and didn't receive any RFE for it.

scy,

Your first post sounded much more definite than that, no indication of vagueness at all!

I wouldn't expect you to get an RFE for that answer to that question in your circumstances - you provided evidence of the I-130 already, as part of the I-129f application, did you not? If you'd answered 'no' and there had been a previous petition for someone else, things might have been different.
