I would be grateful if someone explaines what does this mean and if it concernes somehow our K1 petitions.

CIS Reconfigures Service Center Filing Procedure From Geographic to Form-Based Jurisdiction

Effective April 1, 2006, geographic jurisdiction by the four regional Service Centers over CIS visa petitions ended. All I-129 non-immigrant worker visa petitions and related applications are now filed at the Vermont Service Center [VSC], while all I-140 immigrant worker petitions are filed at the Nebraska Service Center [NSC]. VSC shares responsibility for the adjudication of I-129 petitions and related applications with the California Service Center [CSC]. NSC shares responsibility for the adjudication of I-140 petitions with the Texas Service Center [TSC]. Concurrent I-140/485 filings go to NSC. Follow-on 485s are to be filed at the Service Center where the approved or pending I-140 was filed [or transferred].

Petitions filed erroneously after April 1 are being forwarded to the correct Service Center. The new system also applies to those I-129 petitions that were previously filed specially at NSC, with these petitions being forwarded to VSC for processing and adjudication.

CSC currently has responsibility for: Initial and Extension: E-1 & E-2; O-1 (except for Major League Sports) and O2; P-1 and P-1S support personnel (for entertainment groups only); P-2 and P-2S support personnel; P-3 and P-3S support personnel; Q1; R1. Extension Only: H-1B (all sub-categories, except for Singapore-Chile Free Trade).

VSC has responsibility for: Initial Only: H-1B (all subcategories). Initial and Extension: E-3 Australian Free Trade; H-1B1 (Singapore Chile Free Trade only); H-2A, H-2B, and H-3; L-1A, L-1B, and L-Blanket; O-1 (for Major League Sports only); P-1 and P-1S (for Major League Sports only); TN-1 and TN-2

Please not that they mention I-129 which is a diff from than I-129F. So nope, that doesn´t relate to our K1s at all.

Nope

lol short and sweet lorelle

No this is to do with the I-129 not the I-129F which are two completely different forms, you are getting yourself worried over nothing but I can see why you are ok, so now no need to panic lol

I-129 is for nonimmigrant work visa, a different form from I-129f - fiance visa.

I have no idea what that memo means exactly, but I can tell you, I live in Kentucky, my regional service center was texas (so of course that is where i thought it would be processed and what the headings on our petition were addressed to) but after filing and questioning my attorney on texas centers processing times she told me "Ohhhh don't worry, texas isn't doing any of their own work on the K-1 petitions right now. Watch California for an accurate timeline." And guess where my NOA1 was sent from? California
