APRIL 2020 I-129F (K-1) Filers

[tanman22 14]

Personally something that people have to remember is March 2020 had over 4,000+ applications and USCIS is working with a reduced staff. However, for us being April 2020 we are actually quite lucky as that month the number of applications dropped significantly I wouldn’t be surprised if we see approvals in December and January. I don’t think we’d have to wait until March.

Hello, everyone. I have a quick question about the normal processing time in USCIS Website. My case is currently received by texas service center. I tried to pull up the processing date from the TSC, but I can only view for the K3/K4. I cannot find any data for K1. Is that a system error and can you tell me the processing date if you can view a date? 
Thank you so much for everything

Texas is a intake center and does not adjudicate cases. They only scan the documents into the system and then passes to California for adjudication. Try your search again but use CSC for California.

Congratulations! Did you guys get an email notification when it was approved? Or did you happen to check the case status pace and noticed that you got approved? I'm trying to make sure I don't miss when I get the notice of approval.

Thank you! I've been using an app called USCIS Case Tracker to check. I haven't received any other notification yet, but it was just approved today.

Hi All! NOA1 April 6 , RFE November 19, hopefully is something easy to send, crossing fingers to receive letter today and send it back as soon as possible to get approval before years ends! 🙂

Hi does it also show up on your uscis account? my.uscis.gov/

 

I have the same concerns about missing since I didn't even receive the NOA1

Technically speaking, an RFE is a written request for more information and documentation that USCIS mails out if they believe that they don’t yet have enough evidence to approve or deny a given application. An RFE normally is a minor item and should not be looked at like it's a denial but an opportunity for you to complete your application. USCIS would not send out an RFE if they were going to deny your application. It's just a step that they must take and once they have your information and it meets their approval then you should be seeing your NOA2.

There are many varying degrees of RFE's. Some as simple as not "ticking" off a question. Others forgot the fiancé(e) letter and then others who met on a website and now need to prove that it wasn't a marriage arrangement website.

Once you get your RFE, read over very carefully as you only have one chance to reply accurately without causing undue harm. Once you know FROM THE RFE what it is set out to correct and to include "everything" they are asking for. Then reread the RFE to ensure you are compliant. Make copies of everything for your record and send back using their instructions which are contained within the RFE. If the RFE requires a signature, PLEASE don't forget this. Include the original RFE letter along with a cover letter explaining what you are including in your reply. Like a checklist format. Once received at USCIS your case will begin adjudication where the agent had left off. No one can tell you how long it will take so be patient.

Do you have the USCIS Case Tracker app installed? That is the best tool out there for fastest updates. Seems USCIS is slow to update their my.uscis.gov website.
