Anyone applied for K-3 visa by the petition I-129F ( for spouse)?
Can they speed up if spouse is pregnant?
Answer:
this k3 visa has gotten screwed up. used to take about 4 months to be approved and have the visa appointment, now it depends on how busy the consulate is, for example in Cd. Juarez, Mexico, they are so backlogged that the k-3 is a waste of time and money, you could have the immigrant visa appointment in about the same amount of time they take to process the K3.
Nothing can move the process faster. A lot of things can slow it down. Everything is based on the date the petition is filed and the country the foreign spouse lives. Figure 6 to 9 months, although it could take a year.
Why file a Fiance/Fiancee petition for a spouse? Why not file the I-130?
You'd be better off filing the I-130 at this point. No, they won't rush it for any reason unfortunately.
The whole process takes a lot longer then it really should because they spread it out into tons of unnecessary correspondence. After your I-130 gets approved, which normally takes a couple weeks if everything goes well and you didn't forget to fill anything out. You'll get a fee bill in the mail that you have to mail back. Then they'll mail you the receipt for the bill, then they'll mail you the application for the next set of paperwork. In the meantime, your spouse will probably get a form asking them to designate someone in the USA to receive correspondence, which you'll definitely want to do or you'll put off your immigration by even weeks more if you're corresponding out of country. I know of some people who have gotten it in as little as 4 months, and then there's people like my husband that take two years because paperwork keeps getting lost.
I don't recall filing a K-3 visa. It's been a few years. If you
spend extra money for an attorney, they'll speed things up for
you. If not, they'll jerk you around and make you wait a long
long time. They told me when I received my receipt for the
application I paid for and sent arrived I could check the status
of my I-129F. They never sent me a receipt. I could never
check the status of my application. The process was finally
approved after I started tracing my application through the
post office.
Now, I'm married and have since had an additional child
to make us four. We plan on one or two more. None of that
two child bullshit.
