I'm looking to find out if any other members have filed a K1 visa petition for their Australian fiancé/fiancée, and if so, how long the processing took? I've been told that the Australian embassy typically moves really quickly once the petition has made it there.

 

Thank you!!

Also, just a note.   You were not transferred from Texas to CSC.  All I-129f are mailed to the texas lockbox and then routed to the appropriate service center.  I'm not sure but that may change your appoximated adjudication dates on your timeline. You may want to correct that on your timeline.
