If you fill in your timeline it will give you a date that it estimates from all the Vjers data. Usually takes 5 months but some people are lucky and some aren't Good luck on your journey

The guides and instruction forms from the USCIS specifically state that applications must be sent to Texas... Unless you mean that you're NOA1 stated it was sent to California?

From the USCIS website:

If you live in the United States or abroad and are filing Form I-129F, then file your petition at:

The USCIS Dallas Lockbox

For U.S. Postal Service:

USCIS

P.O. Box 660151

Dallas, TX 75266

For Express mail and courier deliveries:

USCIS

Agree with GB55...do you mean your fiancé received a notice that the petition has been forwarded to the California Service Center?

Unfortunately, if your fiancé missed the part of the I-129F instructions on where it clearly states where to send the petition, I hope for your sake that he didn't miss any other crucial details on what to include with the petition that could further delay the process.

Now the waiting game starts! Expect to wait about 5 months until your petition is adjudicated by the USCIS or you receive an RFE.

I suggest you read the guides on this forum http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide to familiarize yourself with the process. Once you receive your NOA1, fill in your timeline and VJ will give you an estimate of your adjudication date based on other VJ members' timelines.

Good luck!

You're welcome. You can take the time between the NOA1 and NOA2 to brush up on the next stages of the visa process. Good luck!
