I am a UK citizen and am applying for a K1 visa. My US fiance has sent off the I-129f form (with payment), but this is all she has sent off as looking on the official US department of state website this is all it said we had to send off, from looking at post on here i see we may have made a mistake, if so please let me know

Also what is the general time line for a K1 visa and what are the individual steps we have to go through

There is lots more required.

Please see the guides here on the site.

You will either get an RFE for the missing information (Request for Evidence) or it will be returned to you as incomplete.

Actually the instructions on the USCIS website state clearly you need to submit evidence of meeting in the past two years as well as proof on the US citizenship as well as passport pics, etc.

I did this same mistake. (Check my signature.)

What I'd do, if I were you... would be to compile the entire packet you were supposed to send. Make a copy of everything and mail the copy to the Service Center with a copy of your NoA1 on top. If they match it up to your I-129F form, then yay. If not, at least you tried and you only lost the postage it took to mail it.

If your papers don't get matched to your petition, they could either send an RFE for all the required documentation, or I've heard of some people being flat out denied without an RFE. Either way, it took 5-6 months to hear back.

In my opinion, be proactive and mail a COPY of your entire Packet to the Service Center with a copy of your NoA1 on top. Good luck!
