Hi All.....

I am so very close to having the I-129F ready for mailing. Must have gone over every page a dozen times now. Help me out with this though.

In the VISA guide it says to mail the package to the Lockbox location in Dallas TX, but the example cover letter says to fill in the address of the filing location. I guess that would be the one in Texas? Right?

Then if you look at the e-notification instructions, it says there are three Lockbox locations. It lists Chicago, Phoenix, and Lewisville Texas...... but does not mention Dallas?

Thanks for the help, and I think on Monday this is going in the mail.

Joe

Lewisville is a town in the Dallas metro area. For the I-129F petition, you want to send it to the Lewisville address, where they will process payment and then forward it to either the Vermont or California Service Center for adjudication. The Chicago and Phoenix lockboxes are used for other petitions.

Part One: The K-1 Visa Journey:

USCIS Receipt of I-129F: January 24, 2012 | Petition Approval: June 15, 2012 (No RFEs)
Interview: October 24, 2012 - Review | Visa Delivered: October 31, 2012



Part Two: Entry and Adjusting Status:

POE: November 18, 2012 (at SFO) - Review
Wedding: December 1, 2012 | Social Security: New cards received on December 7, 2012.
AOS Package (I-485/I-765/I-131) NOA1: February 19, 2013 | Biometrics Appt.: March 18, 2013

The example is old you do not put an address there or you put the Dallas lockbox

As mentioned nearly every day Texas does not process K-1 petitions. Only Vermont and California do.

Your I-129f was approved in 5 days from your NOA1 date.

Doesn't matter - address it to USCIS and you still won't be rejected or get an RFE. Lockbox facility is the one I'd put on the letter though.

K1 process, October 2010 > POE, July 2011

I-129F approved in 180 days from NOA1 date. (195 days from filing to NOA2 in hand)

Interview took 224 days from I-129F NOA1 date. (241 days from filing petition until visa in hand)

From filing I-129F petition until POE: 285 days

Click timeline or "about me" for all details.

AOS process, December 2011 > July 2012

EAD/AP Approval took 51 days from NOA1 date to email update. (77 days from filing until EAD/AP in hand)

AOS Approval took 206 days from NOA1 date to email update. (231 days from filing until greencard in hand)

From filing I-129F petition until greencard in hand: 655 days
