December 2019 I-129F (K1) Filers

[Sarge2155 4,587]

Didn't see a December 2019 thread started so here it is. Congratulations on the submission of your K1 visa application. This forum will be very helpful to you through your visa process "journey" as we call it here. If you have not done so yet please fill out your time line as it makes it easier for other VJers to assist you if you should have any questions later on during your journey.

 

Best advice, is remember why you have submitted your K1 application and do not set very high expectations of the process. Current processing times according to USCIS are 5.5 to 7.5 months (for case adjudication only), some could be sooner some much later. The trends so far this year have been considerably less than what USCIS has listed, which is good news for current filers. Let's hope this trend continues on through this last month of the year.

K-1 packet mailed on 11/27, got to Texas on 11/30, but may be picked up/signed for today, 12/2. So I guess that makes me a December filer! 😁 Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving and hoping for a speedy approval for all!

Have any of you gotten NOA1s for December? My petition was received on 12/2 in Dallas, but there has been no news so far... No text or email yet. 😅 Just want to know that it is accepted and all that fun stuff... Haven't been waiting a long time and I am already impatient. Oops! 😅

Give it a bit more time it is still a bit early for both of you, don't worry you'll  hear back very soon. Congratulations to you both.

I mailed mine today 12/04. I paid for an overnighter so they should receive it tomorrow afternoon.

The best way to see if they have received your package is to use your tracking information from your courier. Then to determine when you will receive your NOA1 check and see if your "funds" have been withdrawn from your funding source. Then about 1-2 weeks later you should receive your NOA1. If you are anxious now, oh boy wait till you are waiting for the NOA2.

Congratulations and welcome to the thread. Hoping your stay with us is both short and quick. When you get a moment please update your time line.

That would be great! But don't  set high expectations it'll hurt. Have you applied yet I could not tell from your time line.

Completing your timeline helps us know where you are in the process and it also helps with the over all VJ statistics. NOA2's are running about 3-6 months. YMMV. Glad to have you here.

Oh this is not my first rodeo... 😄 I came here on a K-1 8 years ago. 🙂 I know all about the wait. At that time, just to get the I-129F approved took 6 months. Plus an additional month to the interview. Also, waited again & again for the remainder of the processes up until citizenship. I am prepared for the wait. I am fine with it though, I understand that there is a path to be followed and I choose to go through it the proper way.

Hoping for a birthday present in March in the form of the NOA2. 🙂❤️

Question for you. Where in your post did  you tell us this is not your first rodeo? How was it that we were to know that? Oy Vey! Most who are here it's   their first time so we assume that and opine accordingly. Sorry if I offended you in any way. Have a nice day.
