Re: what sort of income
A CR-1/IR-1 spouse only needs the I-864.
If a K-3 is followed through, an I-134 is needed to obtain K-3, but then once in the USA and filing AOS, an I-864 is needed at that time.
K-1 and K-3 = non-immigrant visas = I-134
CR-1 and IR-1 = immigrant visas = I-864
Adjustment of Status = I-864

Re: what sort of income
Thx Rene!
Gosh, I was getting so confused! It turns out we did do the K3/K4 because it will get him here faster, then we will request to adjust his status to permanent resident. So I do need to send in the I-134 and then when we adjust his status we send in the I-864.

Re: what sort of income
If NVC receives an approved I-130 first, or they receive an approved I-130 and approved I-129F at the same time, they will toss out the I-129F and carry on with the Immigrant Visa processing anyway. So you may end up doing an Immigrant Visa, even though you submitted an I-129F for a K-3. Have you gone past the NVC stage with the I-129F yet?

Re: what sort of income
Not necessarily faster and a lot more expensive in the long run with a great many more hurdles to jump.
Unless you are living in a third world country, then you don't need to use an I-192F for the K-3 visa. The IR and K-3 are about equal in time length.

Re: what sort of income
- Married this July in the UK
- Sent I-130 in August with G-325s, photos, affidavit, etc.
- Received receipt for the I-130
- Sent I-129F as soon as we got the 797 receipt for the I-130
- Received receipt for the I-129F
- He spent under 90 days here on his VWP
- He is back in the UK now
That's it so far.

Personally, I'd opt for notifying NVC that you don't want to do the K-3 at all, anyway. It's only slightly faster than the Immigrant Visa, and has the downside of having to adjust status once inside the USA.
