March 2021 K1 I-129F filers

[J&D1008 376]

Hi, 

Creating this thread for those who filed I-129F in March 2021. It should be known that the lockbox is currently delayed by about 2-3 months. Therefore don’t expect to receive your NOA-1 right away.

Hi 

My fiancé is in unification. Basically what I put is Robertsfield highway and for city unification. There are no real address. When we get to the embassy stage they will contact the petitioner not the beneficiary. I know some consulates or embassy will mail the beneficiary packets but for us from what I read on the embassy website for Liberia they will contact us. So the address is not a big deal. Just make sure it’s consistent through application.

Congrats!! The lockbox has sped up the process for NOA-1. Around a 8 week delay but you may get yours sooner. They are clearing the backlog very fast.

My beneficiary has not had a job. Do I leave employment blank?

Make sure you put N/A in all blank fields. You can read the filing tips on the USCIS website.

 Congratulations!!! There is still a 8 week backlog at the lockbox in Texas. They are trying to speed up the process so hopefully you will receive the NOA-1 sooner. 😀

Yes hopefully! I been using the case tracker app and it appears they have slowed down processing the K-1 applications and focused on employment authorization and fingerprint fees. I only saw 3  K1s processed so far.You should really download the Case Tracker App. 

I used USPS to send my case but it got to the lockbox on Saturday and wasn’t picked up until the Monday. I just received the text on Friday with my case number. But USCIS have stated this delay would not affect processing time!

Yes go to USCIS website under “news.” I think it was a January 8th article about the lockbox delays. 
I knew they received it by the tracking information from USPS. A lot of us were very worried and nervous. But I kept the tracking number. 
You can use WAC2190046105 to start off in case tracker app and query 500.

The g-1145 is for a text message when they process your application and assign it a WAC number. The NOA-1 is the receipt notice or letter they send to you in the mail.
