Yikes.  How do we know when a new unexpired version of that form will be uploaded?

I researched VJ about it. Found this https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/586634-form-i-134-affidavit-of-support-expiring-right-before-my-interview-date-help/ and this:

Seems what they care about is the edition date, currently it's January 2023, so pretty recent and the latest one. I'm still early into the NVC stages and my embassy is not the quickest for interview dates, so I am choosing to wait a bit and see if they will release a new form. I'll probably only get a case number by the end of July I think. Guess for people whose interviews are close and will be right after the expiration, there's no major issue to using an expired one according to that threads above.

February 2022 I-129F K1 Case Status Spreadsheet can be found here.
NVC Timelines spreadsheet can be found here.
NOA1:
Feb 22nd, 2022 | NOA2: May 12th, 2023 (444 days) | NVC Received: July 3rd, 2023 (52 days) | Case number: Aug 2nd, 2023 (82 days) | In Transit: Aug 15th, 2023 (95 days)  | Ready: Aug 17th, 2023 | Medical: Sep 22nd, 2023 | Interview: Sep 26th, 2023

10 June Update of USCIS Scans.
Continuing scans as we are still not quite to Inquiry Date ...

If you are still untouched ... keep an eye on the Inquiry date.

I will be out of country next 2 weeks but don't expect the scan would show much new at this point

 

Nearly everything is RFER processing activity ...
A couple of stray approvals or denials this week.

Don't you just love how they give us deadlines ... but .... none apply to them unless they choose it to be so?

Took me 93. Sit tight. It's coming.

I know ... and try to remain positive as I also know there are way too many people even waiting for RFER or NOA2 still.

That said, I just wish the whole process was a bit more transparent.
Tell us that things were slipping and that we should expect action and I could make better choices.

Tomorrow, I leave to visit my fiancée rather than going to get her and bring her back.
Made it a refundable trip at first to get her, thankfully, but being I live 2 hours from Tijuana, I would have made different choices back in end of 2022 so we could be visiting together rather than expensive flights now (that also burn vacation).

 

Hate this whole process.

Wow.  Got the I-129F approval today!  I was worried because they had requested and RFE about a DUI and a protective order from the past.  But I answered with all the documentation they requested 4 weeks ago.

So nice to get this news today.

I feel you. Today happens to be our 555th day since NOA1 lol

 

Been idling at the NVC for 38 days now. We did receive our case number 28 days after USCIS shipped it, so hopefully you should hear from them soon.

 

What annoys me most is that anytime things are finally looking up, we've been hit with another delay so far. Like, our case was ready in time for the last NVC shipping date and my embassy deals with like two K1s per year (so no backlog), and yet they still didn't bother forwarding it to the consulate. Why? I can only hope to be included in the next batch this coming week if I want to make it in time for our September plans.
