Hello...Welcome!

 

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.

 

Stay patient because this is a long process currently running 11-14 months for your NOA2 or petition approval by USCIS (first stage). Then your petition will be sent to NVC (second stage) and finally your interview at the embassy (third stage).  Also, do not compare yourself to others....Some will receive NOA-2 faster than others, some will be stuck at NVC for longer and then finally some will receive interviews fairly quickly at embassy. STAY PATIENT! 

 

Please create the timeline in your profile. Also note that USCIS goes by "Received date" :

 

Example

I-129 F Sent -  September 2, 2022

I-129 F Received - September 6, 2022 (NOA-1) 

I-129 F - Notice Date -September 9, 2022

 

In this example your NOA-1 should be September 6. This will help you fill out your timeline properly.

Hi and welcome:

 

If you submitted an I130, that is a spousal visa/CR1. The I129F is for fiancé visa/K1. If you are already married, for tracking you should head over to :

At the current rate it's looking like the end of October.  Hopefully they continue the increase in amount of cases processed and knock it down even further.  

With the current processing weekly rates I am seeing, August seems like a possibility now. I think if we have a few more solid weeks of 1200 cases processed per week, August won’t be all that insane to consider
