Aloha VJ members!

I'm a new member but have found the information very helpful on this site, so thank you VisaJourney.

This is my first post and just a simple question. I have received the receipt for the 1st NOA for my K-1 petition and the only instructions I see is to contact USCIS if there are any personal information changes. If there are no changes should I just wait for the 2nd NOA to see if it's approved?

Thanks in advance yall!

Welcome! And, yes. Just wait for your NOA2. If they need more information from you, they'll send an RFE (request for information), before an approval is issued.

Yes you need to wait. Current processing time depends on the service center. Have you read the guides on this website? If not go ahead and do so, there is a wealth of information here that will be useful .

You can also check out my timeline to gauge for I-129F processing and also K1 visa specifically for Indonesia.

Our timelines are a bit similar to each other. Good luck

Hi and thanks for the reply! I've gone through the guides and through the forums but just wanted to make sure and hear from members who have gone through the process, so I appreciate your input. The processing time for your I-129F was quite long for you, over 5 months!

Glad to see your nearing the end of the Visa Journey :)

Thank you! I'll be waiting patiently for the NOA2. I went through your timeline and was amazed at your processing times! Was there a reason you were able to blaze through your visa process? Your interview took only 96 days from NOA1, amazing!

Congratulations btw and good luck with the rest of your Visa Journey!

Could have been one, or a combination, of things: timing, luck, front-loading evidence of our relationship, attention to the details of the petition and application (no RFEs), the fact that we've been together nearly 19 years and have evidence of that, that my fiancee is from a small country that isn't flagged for fraudulent applications and has relatively few K-1 visas pending... Sorry, but I just don't know, specifically, which of any of those things helped to make our process smooth, thus far. Maybe it was all of them. Really, everyone's journey is a bit (or very) different. The common denominator, is that it's always best to not take this process lightly and do the best you can in preparation and application.

Thank you and good luck on your journey! :)
