Default Is the I-129F an immigrant visa, or a non-immigrant visa?

I've seen it listed as both; although technically it is a visa with the
'intent' to immigrate, is it truly an immigrant visa, or a non-
immigrant visa?

That's a weird non-immigrant visa

It's neither. The I-129f is the petition filed by a USC for the K
visas.

That's right, I was speaking about the visa K.

If you are referring to the K-1 fiance(e) visa (which the alien fiance
is eligible for after the I129f is approved), then the K-1 is a
nonimmigrant visa. After marriage, the alien spouse can file for
permanent residency, which would adjust their status to "immigrant."



I don't know anything about the spousal K visas, as I was told they also
use the I129f petition?
