I-130 & 1-129F

[sra9691 0]

I have just received notification that my I-130 has been approved and 2 days later I got the approval of the I-129F.

I am a UK citizen and my wife is US, and both the applications went from 'Initial Review' to 'Post Decision Activity'

I had a question to all those before me on this forum, which do I pursue? The I-130 or I-129F as the fastest route?

Or do I pursue one while the other is being processed?

Any ideas would be most appreciated

Application made initially in April 2014

Thank you very much her25, I appreciate your answer. How long does it take from submitting the information to the NVC and paying the fees to me finally getting my visa from the US Embassy in London?

3 to 5 months. Read the NVC Process wiki (its in my signature). NVC making big changes and the time may get reduced but now its 60 days to review packages.
