K3 obsolete?

[Hopeful2017]

I've read on various websites that the K3 visas are obsolete or rarely approved. Does anyone here have any information or experience with it? Thanks

You can still apply for a K3 visa by submitting I-129F after you have receipt Notice of Action for the I-130, but your submittal will be ignored in favor of the I-130. It's hard to say why USCIS continues to allow K3 references on its form instructions, but trying to apply is a waste of effort.
