I can't wait 

I honestly don't know what we will do if things take longer. I'm not stressed... I know it's not our time for NOA2 yet, I just *shrugs*

Your not butting in. Everyone here has questions and that why we are here is to help and support each other. I just read over the P3 and the I-129f is not listed. Seem strange they would ask for a document that they were given when you applied almost a year ago. They scan everything so it's not like they don't have access to your I-129f.  Here is the P3 instructions https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ws5bsSQru7Axg8SthLUANj1kx5pm8QNG/view

 

I dug a little deeper in my stash of P3 letters and found the checklist for your Embassy  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DKRc5bBmpL5fesrMAP1RRLwucTnjOB6Y/view?usp=sharing

 

Here is what I think someone is referring to about sending the I-129f form again. This was found on the check list. What is meant by this paragraph is that if your NOA2 approval date is older then 4 months they want a letter asking them to extend your expiration date for interviewing, for another 4 months. The NOA2 is good for one year but is extended in four months increments.

 

Revalidation Letter: Copy only

• Your I-129F petition may expire by the time you attend your final visa interview. To revalidate your petition, please have your U.S. citizen fiancé(e) provide you with a letter requesting that your petition be extended to a further 4 months from the approval date of the I-129F petition. This letter must be dated and signed by your fiancé(e) The letter from your U.S. citizen fiancé(e) should state their intention to still marry you within 90 days of your arrival into the U.S. with the K-l visa and that you both are still free to marry.

Thank you @Greenbaum greatly appreciate your response. I really want to find where I thought I read bring a copy of your whole 129f packet. 🤔 I probably just misread something. I would bet on anything I did misread 😂 I've trying to read up on everything in this process and my brain gets all  fuzzy 😄 It certainly makes sense why they wouldn't ask for it:)

The VJ guide mentions bringing a copy of the entire packet, but I think that's just cautious overkill and it's not actually required:

 

What to send to your fiance once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2): 

1. A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one). Your fiance should review this information in advance of the interview (the embassy will have copies of this as well).

 

Make TWO copies of the entire package before you send it in. This includes the money orders too. You want to have a perfect replica of the package you are sending in.

 

I definitely panicked when I read it because I didn't photocopy the actual form since I have it saved on my computer, but I couldn't find anything from an official source requiring a photocopy of the entire packet be brought to the interview.

Totally feel you girl!!!

So is anyone else wondering why the activity for us January filers  has been only approvals and no RFEs? When the scans used to run, RFEs accounted for a lot of the activity. I haven't seen anyone update their timeline or post on here that they got an RFE. Does anyone have any ideas as to why?

Maybe all the problem cases have been adjudicated before hand and then they adjudicate the rest. Trying to figure out any government agency on how or why they do something is fruitless.
