For those who have just filed your I-129f application with USCIS, this thread has been created for your needs and to be with others experiencing different aspects of this journey. This is a place to ask questions and to share experiences. All are here to learn together. Good luck because this is a long process currently running 5-6 months from filing date for your NOA2 approval.

 

https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/K1_Process_V11.pdf

 

Also, since your application will go through a number of background checks this is a primer on what goes on with the background process.

 

I know it really sucks, but the best way to get through this is to lower your expectations and try not to compare your timeline to anyone else's. Don't forget that the people here on Visa Journey represent a tiny percentage of all the petitions the CSC has to work through! When someone gets to your file you'll hear from them. Stay busy, talk a lot with your fiancé about non-visa stuff, don't forget to hang out with your friends, take up a new hobby, go to a sporting event, and your time will come! Good luck

 

Explanation why is it taking so long.

This is really slow. Usually by the 4th or 5th day ppl are starting to check in. Well, there are so many on VJ that we can find elsewhere that are asking questions which you, Sarge and I answer frequently and they are not here.

Hey girl. I sent mine in in late April. Since the check has not been cashed. I guess I am in the May club. Power to May Flowers! And I must say, the whole assembling of paperwork took it out of me. Took a full month if not 6 weeks. Reading on the i-864 obligations go awry sent chills down my spine. Hence I was nauseous sending it in.
