Hello everyone,

This if my first post but I have been reading this forum for some time and it has provided some valuable insight to the whole K3 process. I had filed the I-130 with the TSC and received the NOA1 for it relatively quickly. However, the Chicago service center received the I-129F on April 13, 2006. So it has been just over 2 weeks and nothing yet, but I noticed that most people were getting their NOA1, or at least a RFE, within a week or so. I spoke to the NSC and was told that nothing can be done unless it's been over 30 days :angry: . Can anyone please let me know what the usual turn around is on getting the NOA1 for I-129F or at least even a RFE?? At least this way i know that the process is being expedited. Thanks.

Please create a timeline for yourself as the stats on this site work from them. It allows others to see how quickly processing is taken.

In my experience it normally takes 1-2 weeks to receive NOA1

The Chicago service center had cashed the check on April 21st, so it's been about a week or so. It's just that it seemed as though most applicants were getting the NOA1 for 129F rather quickly, so I was a bit concerned. Even on your time line it appears as though you had received your NOA1 in less than a week. Also, I have created an online account with USCIS to check the status of my file, but nowhere does it say that anything has been "touched", and it also says that these types of visas (K3) are taking anywhere between 990 and 999 days (based on submission of NOA1 for the I-130), which I am sure cannot be right. Thanks for the replies and good luck to you all :thumbs: .
