MAY 2023 I-129F K1 FILERS

[J&D1008 377]

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 - May 1, 2023

I-129 F Received - May 4, 2023 (NOA-1) 

I-129 F - Notice Date - May 8, 2023

 

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

I am a US citizen, planning to file my I-129 form this month (May), but I might be changing my address on November. New address still to be determined as I'll still be looking for a new apartment. Any advice? Should I file the form now or wait for when I move and file it then? Or is there an option to update my mailing address once I get the NOA?

If you're living in the US it's super easy to change, there is just an online form: https://egov.uscis.gov/coa/displayCOAForm.do
