Im confused!

[Dakine 26]

So this news is making my head spin and I'm wondering how my case will turn out next month.

Also one thing I read in another thread K3 vs. CR-1 is that if you have even the slightest bit of doubt the K3 is the way to go because they don't get their green card upon arrival.

omg!! im so scared u guys!!! its been 3 months now since we sent our I-130 and no approval yet... also i ve mentioned this before in a separate thread.. that my husband ( USC) sent both I-130 and the I-129 together and a few weeks later they sent him back the i-129:unsure:

should i start getting concerned?? if not, then how many months should get me worried???

Getting the I-129F back is the BEST thing that can happen to you the way things are now.

Just stick with the I-130 and forget about the I-129F.

Wish we'd done so. We went thru hell adjusting status for the K3.

my a dvice to you is to sit back, relax, do what you normally do in life and let the USCIS staff do their job to process the petition. Edited December 1, 2007 by kalai&malia

No they will take both at the same time.

I just read of someone being forced to pursue a CR visa after the 130 was approved before the 129F. ??

I thought the applying for the K3 allowed you the option to choose to pursue the K3 OR the CR-1

"K-3 Spouse Visa General Discussion

If you are married to a non US Citizen and you both wish to live together and immigrate to the USA then the K3 visa is a possible option for you. General discussion relating to K4 Visas should also go here. People who file for a K-3 have automatically also filed for a IR1/CR1 Visa (I-130) and can persue that visa if it is approved faster than the K-3. "

Please help me wrap my head around this?

Thanks

Hi Lisa,

The K3 is indeed an option if you're married to a USC. As for us, we're going with K3 since both petitions have been approved. There are advantages to having your GC as soon as you step in the US, but we got burned out with waiting for the approval alone. Lesser fee for AOS with CR1 isn't worth it (the stress that is, for me) if it means waiting some more and wondering about the status of our paper without my husband by my side. Sure I won't have the GC as soon as I get there, and I will still have to deal with AOS and all and pay a much bigger amount, but at least I'm with my husband already. But if you can haggle both petitions and get an interview soon as well, the better. I'm just tired of filing stuff for now away from him. We'll rest for a while and deal with it again when i get home.

Best of luck!

So ya'll from the readings on this thread, then filing for a K3 is basically a lost cause?, and most likely will not be processed faster then if applying for a CR-1 straight out? I know one is a Immigrant visa with benefits. and K3 Non Immigrant and etc. APS and more $$$$$$

Please give me your suggestions, and are CR-1 I-130 petitions transferred to CSC from VSC normal???

I thought I had it all down pat a year ago when we first filed, now its round #2 with VSC. Wish me luck and patience. UGH!!! 4 more weeks, and its back to Paris for a visit with my love.
