final checklist

[BKN 2]

Hi,

After a lot of waiting and work I finally should be sending in our packet for K-1 visa Wednesday. I am expecting to receive my fiance's signed letter of intent, G-325a, and G-325a supplemental page tomorrow.

My packet is assembled in the following order minus the pages mentioned above.

• $340 payment
• G-1145 e-notification
• Cover letter
• I-129F signed in blue ink
• Supplement to question 34.a how we met and all times we met in past two years
• G-325a (mine) passport photo in bag attached to back
• G-325a (fiance) passport photo in bag attached to back. coming in mail tomorrow
• Copy of my birth certificate front and back
• Intent to marry (mine signed in blue ink)
• Intent to marry (fiance signed in blue ink) coming in mail tomorrow
• My divorce decree from previous marriage.
• 14 pages of photos of us together from our time together. 3 photos per page in clear sleeves with our names, dates, and locations written on back. Photos from each visit and with both of our friends and her family.
• Copy of my entire passport with stamps and visas from each trip to visit her.
• Copy of some of my boarding passes to visit her
• Copy of her passport and stamps from when she traveled with me to other countries
• copy of our boarding passes together
• about 14 pages of texts picked from across the past year
• 7 pages with 12 screenshots each from Facetime calls across the past year.

Anything stand out to anyone that I am missing?

I will send an exact copy of this packet to her at the same time I mail it to the Texas lockbox with delivery notification.

Thank you,

Brett

Great job. How did you meet? if IMBRA applies they need a statement for that.

Don't forget to put "I-129F" on the mailing envelope (I forgot but didn't seem to cause more than a day or 2 of a delay if any.

AND of course make a duplicate copy of everything in the event the first set gets lost in the mail.

Looks good

Thank you both.

We met in person the first time which is noted in our packet.

I have read a lot of posts from earlier in the year that all I129f packets were being forwarded to the CA processing center and just read a Thai visa timeline that only took 3 months packet sent to CA in August and Visa approved November.

What are the current odds that my packet will be sent from the Texas lockbox to the CA processing center? I am filing from NC.

Thanks,

Brett

All I-129F are sent to the lockbox in Texas thats just the place they receive they petitions. After there it will go to Texas or Cali after the state you live in but do to backlog in Texas ALL I-129F have been sent to California since Marts 2015 and still are.

Thank you. Is California still processing as fast as they were a couple months ago or are they starting to get back logged as well? How long is it taking recent cases to be forwarded from Texas to California?

It is routed. People get their NOA1 7-10 days and the NOA2 in about 30-45 days. But like always you never know if you get an RFE or something else but that seems to be normal timelines right now. But thanksgiving and christmas is coming so maybe a small delay there.

You can always look at this to keep you busy.
