Processing for i129f-k1

[JedNik 5]

Hi, i'm BRAND new to this site...i've searched it and read it TONS, but finally decided to join!

So my fiance and I applied for my fiance visa at the end of July 2012,pretty much right away we got the official letter with our receipt number and such.

While watching it online, and watching the processing times, we were expecting about 5 months. Which will bring us to the 27 of Dec. (next week!!!)

Question now, should we have received any new information by now? or a request for more evidence? I'm worried its been forgotten about or something unfortunate

The only thing I can think of that would affect it would be:

-we didn't make a cover letter

-i don't remember if we did a table of contents as my fiance was the one who put it together

-and we didn't make a photocopy of our whole package for ourselves

Can someone reassure me that this is the 'normal' procedure?!!

Thanks, SO much

You should start by reading the VJ K-1 guide: http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide ... and then the flowchart to fully understand the process: http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1flow

Then, fill in your timeline to get an idea of where similar petitions are in the process and an estimated timeframe for receiving approval. Many are not approved within five months. One key item to have in going through this process is patience...you'll need lots of it because this is just the first of a few years if you opt to become a naturalized citizen.

The US Citizen (USC) submits a petition and then the beneficiary (the non-USC) is the one who applies for the actual visa once the petition is approved.

Welcome and good luck!

Mine took me 7 months to get approved you dont need on the 6th month they requested for more evidence after we provided that our petition got approved you have to relax and read other stories here to know how it works 5 months is not too long they will get to your case soon some people get lucky they got approved in 3 months mine was in 7 some others gets approved in 12 to months have faith it will come but you could still make enquiries call their office
