Once I 129 F Approved

[jerrycra123]

i have looked on several threads and websites. I still have a few questions.
We already have I 129 and a I 130 approved. We will be going with the I 129F route. Which would be the K 3 Visa Right. What forms do I need next and in what order do I send them in. Are there any shortcuts to make the process go quicker.

I have the same question

If the I-129f and the I-130 have both been approved you don't really have a choice. You need to go the I-130 route. The NVC will start sending you packages piecemeal, they will only send you one at a time, and each time you send one back they will give you a new one. The good thing about this is that it saves a boatload of money because once you enter the U.S. you don't have to go through all of the adjustment of status paperwork because you are already a LPR.

The shortcuts that I found were to have all of the forms filled out online so that as soon as they sent you one you could mail it in same day using the bar coded cover sheet that the NVC furnishes. You can find the fillable forms on the immigrant visa section of www.travel.state.gov

If you explore the page above and click "Applicant Document Processing" it will let you look at Embassy specific information about which sections NVC takes care of and which ones wait til the consulate. . .it will even let you see a form letter copy of the "interview packet."

Good luck!

Do you really HAVE to go with the I130??? I was under the impression, your I130 would just sit there unless you pay the bills and finish processing it..

Doesnt your I129f just get fwd to CDJ?

Im just trying to figure all this out...
