I agree, it would not make any sense. It is just an observation and probably a coïncidence but average time for a "normal" case to be looked at at Nebraska is now 11 months so anything in less than 6 months stands out and we, Nebraska filers, wonder why.  

As @geowrian says, the process is similar to a large grocery store with many checkout lanes.........some lanes are just faster than others.......

His I-130 application was approved in 4 months by Nebraska ! If applying for I-129 at the same time as for I-130 actually sped the process up, it was definitely not a waste of time nor money and the lawyer knows his job!

 

Patrick12, did you request some form of expedite ?

no there was no any expedite.

Hi! We actually decided to try the same thing and our I-129f arrived at USCIS yesterday. Our PD is 02/22 (Nebraska....) and we thought that we didn't really have anything to lose by sending in another form (I-129f). Even if the K3 is "administratively closed", if it speed up the I-130, I don’t complain at all!

If nothing happens, well then we at least tried to do what we could. A faster approval on the I-130 is absolutely something that we prefer before an approval of a K3 visa, but both are better than the waitingJ.

Married: 01/26/2019

I130 NOA1 (PD): 02/20/2019 (Nebraska)

K3 NOA1 (PD): 05/29/2019 

I-130 NOA2: 07/18/2019
