Hello! I'm just about to submit the I-129F form for the K1 visa. We both live in the UK and I'm not 100% sure which address to send from the UK. I will be sending by recorded priority mail, so would it be the 'Dallas, TX' or 'Lewisville, TX' address please? Thanks!

As the majority of my family live in the US and are unable to travel to the UK for the wedding. We both want to get married in the US. Plus, from what I've read the K1 generally gets the beneficiary to the US quicker.

If your choice of shipping method requires a signature, then you need to send it to Lewisville. 

 

K-1 generally takes 5-6 months. It could be longer if there's RFE, extended AP or further medical test. Due to that, do not book anything in advance. 

 

Best is to get married at the court upon arriving in the US in order for the alien beneficiary to file for AOS soon after that. Big fancy wedding can come later so it would be less stressful trying to gauge when the K-1 would be issued and planning things around it.

For my I-129F, K-1, AOS, EAD, AP and ROC detailed timelines, please refer to my timeline page :)

ROC filed on December 1, 2020, assigned to SRC, approved within 106 days on February 18, 2021.

My sincerest gratitude to all VJers, especially the late geowrian.
