i need your help :/

I am an Israeli and an American wife coming week we send the i- 130

Our goal is to reach the United States between September and November ( because we are in school and need to finish school here and continue there )

I note that whether get a work permit or not but point to enter a valid

I realized that if we make the usual procedure of i- 130 that can be drawn over a year

So after clarification seems to be an option of sending i- 129f can shorten the process

From what I understood it possible to send the i- 130 and once you get a receipt send the i- 129f for k3 visa

What bothers me is the next thing I saw :

will have to file Adjustment of Status after entry to the US or once their I-130 petition is approved (while their K-3 Visa is valid) return to their home country to be interviewed for an IR-1 / CR-1 Visa.

My questions are the following , which will be easier to answer which of the time I will write Teortiiim

Suppose the beginning of January I send the i- 130, then in mid-January get the recipt so I understand it noa1 , and immediately assume the end of January sends the i- 129f for k3 visa

The first question is whether the process of the i- 129f where the process of i- 130 on hold ? Ie map I keep only the process of i129 -f ? And What are the steps i- 129f - well tests + interview + Sofnsrshif ... As in i- 130 ? ? ?

Then we say early May and I got a message that the i- 129f approved time I have " exploited " and enter the U.S. until it expires (I have to finish here and study year)

Let's say I went to the U.S. in October - what happens exactly? Because according to what I might be forced to listed to go back to Israel for an interview ?

Of course we'll get my wife will file Adjustment of Status - the question of what happens if the day before the i- 130 to become approved , or what happens if you have not made it to the U.S. after the K3 I was approved and i- 130 approved

So whether I have the happy moment K3 Visa me to drop everything and run without looking back and quickly submit Adjustment of Status ?

! ? ! ? ! ? What do I do ? Has anyone had a similar process ?

I am afraid that I will get the K3 and before I will do to reach U.S. The i130 will be approved then I will stay here in the country until the whole process is over

And I'm afraid I will come to the U.S. and then be forced to return to Israel to continue the process

Frustrated ! Please help me

Thank you

The k3 visa is obsolete and rarely, if ever issued. If you sent the I 129 f it will be married up with the i130 at the NVC and they will go forward with the cr1. The k1 was used many years ago when it literally took years to adjudicate the i130, now the processing times are the same.

Although the I129F for married persons to chase the K-3 visa is still on the books, it is rarely issued. Usually NVC closes the I129F and the petitioner and beneficairy will chase the CR1 visa. So therefore, don't worry yourself with the K3, beging reading up on the superior and cheaper Cr1 visa

good luck

thanks alot!

just one more question: if i get the K3 visa and after a while the i -130 gets approved will i be able to get in to the us with the k3 visa and finish all the process from the us without coming back to israel?

It's been so long since I've answered a K3 question, but I think the answer is yes, I think you adjust status from within the US

good luck

Yes in the very unlikely event hat you manage to get the K3, you would not have to move back to Israel, you can AOS (Adjust status) within the USA, which means extra fees, extra paperwork, and several months without being able to work.
