NOVEMBER 2022 I-129F K1 FILERS

[J&D1008 376]

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 15-17 months for your NOA2 or petition approval by USCIS (first stage). Then your petition will be sent to NVC which runs about 4-6 weeks processing (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 -  November 2, 2022

I-129 F Received - November 4, 2022 (NOA-1) 

I-129 F - Notice Date - November 7, 2022

 

In this example your NOA-1 should be November 4. This will help you fill out your timeline properly.

Hi,

 I'm trying not to obsess about this as the current process time is 15.5 months so we'll be lucky if anything happens before February/March 2024. Prayfully it will. 🙏🏾

Hey there! I'm a November 2022 filer as well:)

Any idea if we will be approved by the end of this year?! I'm not so up to date on the trends and wondering if someone may have further insight:D

At current processing rates there's a good chance you'll see an RFE or approval by the end of the year. It's a ways off, so things can change, but we're hopeful they'll continue in this positive direction.

Use Emma  to get to an agent and do the expedite request through that. I am note sure if there is a direct email to expedite. But you are almost there if you are a November Filer. I would just wait.
