I am a March 18th filer.  I got a transfer letter saying that my I-130 went to California, and a couple days later I got an email saying it was transferred to my local USCIS office which would be Pittsburgh.  Hopefully it won't take many more months to be approved.

Someone else told me I need to send in all the evidence again, and I really wasn't in the mood to do that. So I just need to send in the I-129F with the two passport photos and a photocopy of the NOA1 document? Correct?

 

All the info is in the I-129F instructions.  It is less than the I-130 because you need to send a copy of your NOA1 with the application, so they know what you have already sent.  Some is repeat, but it is less.

 

I would think a lawyer would of had you file this as soon as you got NOA1 on your I-130 to cover all bases.

So would you guys recommend that I not even bother with the K-3?

 

There is no filing fee, and doesn't require all the same evidence you already sent in, so I would do it.  I am just curious why the lawyer thinks that K-3's are being processed in 5 months.

Just got off the phone with the attorney... He said he was informed that the K-3 is an option again. It was pretty much dead there for a while because the I-130's were only taking 6 months but he says now he thinks filing the K-3 is worth it now.  The processing time for the K-3 is 5 months

Its like starting over  but its better than waiting 16 months

 

He didn't think it was worth it before but now he wants me to come sign the petition. and his paralegal sent me this message while I was talking to the lawyer..

 

John can give you more details; it looks like, they are restarting processing I-129F. 

 

 

Just thought I'd give you guys an update...  maybe because they get more money from the K-3  like the K-1...  Kinda funny how were were talking about this earlier !

 

I filed for a K-3 in April.   My I-130 priority date is 3/18 and the I-129F priority date is 4/9.  I have heard nothing from either of them, so I wouldn't bank on 5 months if you haven't filed yet.
