FEBRUARY 2020 I-129F K-1 FILERS

[Greenbaum 12,259]

For those who have just filed your I-129f application with USCIS, this thread has been created for your needs and for you 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.

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

 

The explanation why is it taking so long.

There is one for January but since you are so close being in February is no big deal. You may want to read through January just to be up to speed.

 

Welcome to the thread.

 

We need a little housekeeping on your end. Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline OR your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine their Embassy. The country that should be used is the country where the interview will take place.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right-hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Once you finish that then return and you will see a flag in your profile. Select it and see what wonderful information will open up for you.

 

Thanks

Welcome to the thread. You should have confirmation this week. Once you have it sit back as it will be 4+ months till you may hear something on your application. Be patient.

California is responsible for ALL 50 states unless background checks need further adjudication then they are transferred to Vermont.

I think you meant NOA1. Usually the NOA1 will get mailed and sometimes they will send a text message. Your mileage will vary.

Hi All!!

 

Sent in the original first submission for I129F on Feb 4th.  Delivered overnight and sms received 2/11 with case number.  Once I put in the case number into USCIS web tracker it indicated that it was received on 2/5.  Check was processed 2/11 as well.

 

I know we need to be patient, but I do hope for speedy processing!!  Of course, don’t we all?

 

As I’m sure we all have, have spent many hours researching and building the application.  Now it’s all in the hands of the officials!!
