Where to send petition/Form I-129F

[Yvon03 0]

Hi to all

Me and my fiance just starting to prepare our documents for filling I-129F petition. We both want this whole process to be start sooner since we knew this K1 visa stuff will take up to 6 months (if lucky with no RFE) as I saw on many timeline's members here.

After he get packets from me ( G-325A, passport photo and letter of intent to marry) He plan to mail the petition next week to Dallas, Texas USCIS lockbox.

But my question is if he lives in Wisconsin is it better he mail to USCIS Texas or Nebraska or Vermont? This is quite confusing, although the form I-129f was clearly stated that should be sent to the USCIS Texas. Is there any chance our petition will be transferred to Vermont? Many members here said it took times in Vermont.

Help us please. Any advice/ suggestions ?

Thank you so much.

Send it to Dallas, Texas. Then it will be tranfered to the appropriate USCIS Office. There is No Shortcut. Thats where Petitions Go.

Tim/Mav is correct.

As you said, it is clearly stated in the USCIS instructions: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-129finstr.pdf (page 5).

It will be then transferred to California or Vermont (the 2 only Service Centers which process I-129F petitions). I know a member which US fiance lives in Wisconsin, their file has been processed at the California Service Center. CSC is actually slower than VSC right now, but it doesn't mean anything for your petition. By the time you get your approval, CSC may have become faster than VSC. No need to worry about that, "it will go where it will go".

Tim/Mav Thank you! I even told my fiance to send the petition to Chicago lol because I had look at some of member's information here they put Chicago service center. I might read wrong information

Penguin_ie, thanks for moving this topic to the right forum. I didn't noticed that I posted to 'general polls '

didopage, thanks for the information. I saw you put CSC as your filing location too.

I just hope and pray that our files are sent to the right place where their staff can work faster than usual.
