K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Why the large difference in Approval time for K-3?	Does anyone know what causes the wide range of time it takes for an approval on a I-129F.I know on the rcpt it says from 60 to 180 days,why is that? I am not for sure on this answer but is my opinion. Anyway the I-129F is a visiting visa that is for a fiance. so the marriage takes place 90 days after entering the US. Then after the marriage and adjustment of status and then permanent residence. The I-130 is a permanent residence spouse visa which means that you already married and when entering US permanently (with social security also possible) until full citizenship is acquired. So I believe the requirements are the same overall but lets you wait in the us as a visitor first. If anyone can eloborate please fill in. So the I-130 may be longer because it is not a visiting visa but a permanent one. Hopefully this helps.	micheltsmith	Male	Philippines	2006-04-27 16:01:00
