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 14-17 months for your NOA2 or petition approval by USCIS (first stage). Then your petition will be sent to NVC which runs about 6-8 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 - March 1, 2023

I-129 F Received - March 3, 2023 (NOA-1) 

I-129 F - Notice Date - March 7, 2023

 

In this example your NOA-1 should be March 3. This will help you fill out your timeline properly. 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for it

I'm hoping for as speedy a process as possible, but I suppose we all are. 😁 Any advice for petitioners with a fiancé in West Africa, especially a country similar to Nigeria, in terms of interview wait times, would be greatly appreciated. 

I’m also Nigerian and it’s been a ride finding fellow Nigerians going via the k1 process. If you have any useful link where updates are posted too, please kindly share. Thank you

Hello Everyone, I got a notice for RFIE today. I'm waiting for the letter to come in the mail, probably by next week, to get more information on what is needed. FYI, I have been divorced since 2019 and I suspect they need a certified copy from the courts. The one I submitted with the application was the COPY that I was given after the divorce and probably does not meet the criteria needed. Any advice would be great.

Okay, I just checked our case status today and got an RFE request. Will be waiting for the paper mail to come in and see what’s it about. But I’m glad that it finally updated and that they are really working on our applications. So hang tight y’all you guys should be hearing yours soon! 😁
