The problem is, there is no solid consistent evidence proving filing I-129F works. We know K-3 gets closed when I-130 gets approved, but we don't have anything to indicate K-3 forces decision on I-130.

 

The only thing USCIS will honor with great level of success is Writ of Mandamus. Everything else provides mostly psychological relief for petitioner (e.g. something is happening, case isn't fully stuck because I'm getting replies and various updates)

We've gone through this before.  There's data from Lawfully as I explained before.  I'm not saying it works or it doesn't but it's worth a shot before dishing out $10,000+ for a lawyer to file a mandamus IMHO.  The OP @Joshimrahman needs to decide if it's worth the time and ink and paper to file an I-129F.  I think it's an easy choice especially since he has some time before he can do an out of normal processing time inquiry.  We do know this.  If OP had filed a K-3 from the start, OP could have done an inquiry on the I-129F long ago.

WoMs usually around 5k

 

K3 no harm just do not expect it to do anything

I've no idea on the K3 thing but there's certainly no need to spend that much on a WoM, particularly if one uses the excellent DIY guide on VJ and files it without a lawyer involved.

All of this speculation across multiple threads (I count three — this merged one and another one last Fall) isn’t that useful because OP hasn’t answered basic questions: where is his spouse from and is there anything out of the ordinary that would cause a delay in processing at USCIS.

 

As an example if OP is younger man marrying a significantly older woman from a West African country after having recently divorced, all a WoM would likely do is speed up an NOID. If he’s the same age as his spouse from the UK both on first marriages and of equal socioeconomic status, then this would be very weird and a suggesting a WoM if it hits two years would be the way to go.

 

I’m also going to hazard a guess that if this was self-filed any support uploaded might have had clarity issues (people are rarely more clear explaining themselves on government forms than Internet forums.)

 

OP — sorry if this comes off harsh we’re trying to help but we need to know more about your circumstances. A lot of people have commented on these threads and part of the reason they’re becoming hard to follow is we don’t know enough about your situation for people to come to a consensus, which is what usually happens.
