My husband is a USC, my priority date is 01/7/2019, Texas service center. I have had loads of testimonial how the l-129f, speeds up the 130 process and we are in the process of filling.
To those who filed I-130. before i-129f, did you guys have to pay $535 fees for I-129F again. Thats what I see on I-129F instruction...

You do not have to pay anything to file the I-129F form. But your application and supporting documents should mirror your I-130 application. Everything that you sent for the I-130 should be submitted with the I-129F.
Don't forget to include your NOA1 with your I-129F.

Is that the whole requirements for i130 again?

Are we gonna include i130 form again to i29f packet?

You do not need to include the form from the I-130 you need to only include the NOA1 from the I-130 with the 1-128f.

Hello, quick question, Im gonna try and submit my I-129 form. Did you send any original docs or all copies and did u also mail it to lewisville or dallas?

I sent all originals and it depends on which mailing service you use. I used USPS Dallas
File Form I-129F at the USCIS Dallas Lockbox facility:
For U.S. Postal Service (USPS):
USCIS
P.O. Box 660151
Dallas, TX 75266
For FedEx, UPS, and DHL deliveries:
USCIS
Attn: I-129F
2501 South State Highway 121 Business
Suite 400
Lewisville, TX 75067

Hey there!!!!
When you sent the i129f.. did you send ALL the documents you sent with the i30 as well? Or just the form itself, the i30 NOA1 and the marriage certificate? We are about to start with the k3 so we hope to get our i30 approved but we are not sure which documents we need to send out as we already sent a lot of stuff with the i30 and idk if they want to have it repeated? Please let me know! Thank you!

Congrat leslie on receiving your case nunber

Congrat leslie on receiving your case nunber

@VTimmy thank you so much. I hope they process my payment quickly so I can begin submitting documents

@MariellJoes My I-129F mirrored my I-130 petition. The same exact information that I provided with my I-130 was the same information that I provided with teh I-129F.

When do you anticipate you will get an interview?

Not sure, my case is still with the NVC. I submitted my last documents on December 2nd.

My husbands i-130 PD was 05/09/2019 and on december 13th i got a notice saying they want additional proof ..i wanted to know am I eligible for the i-129 because i saw that its for a “fiance†and we’re married and i wanted to ask u if you provided all proof of marriage when u filed or dod they send u a notice asking for evidence and what is the “NOA1†i didnt quite understand

And does the i-129 make the process go any faster

I am not sure if the I-129F make the process faster but I’m happy that I did it… the I-129F Has two check boxes you should check the spouse box not the Fiancé box.
You must send proof of a bona fide marriage, like letters, pictures, and text messages between you and your spouse.

Hey Sea Leslie,
Me and my husband just sent our I-130 off a couple of weeks ago and ended up getting Nebraska Service Center which is showing as 12 - 16.5 months 😩 We filed and submitted our I-130 form and evidence etc all online and was wondering if we could file the 129f (K3) online also? Wondering if we should print out all documents we submitted online and mail them in with the 129f but how far along after submitting the I-130 would you wait before sending in the 129F?
Thanks! And it’s awesome yours has been super quick!

You can submit all supporting documents that you submitted with the I-130 as soon as you receive the NOA1 from the I-130.

Hi were you part of the Pilot program with a case number with IOE?

No Brandon

Thank you for the reply. Did you guys have an IOE receipt number?

No IOE number

Quick question you did a I-129 For the K3 for your spouse?

Yes Mrs Burton

Ok thank you

You're welcome

Afternoon, you received your interview!!! Yayyy!!!

Yes, I'm headed towards the finish line

Hello if you don’t mind me asking did you file your taxes as single or MFS/MFJ? I’m so confused. Thanks in advance.

Single

Thank you. And good luck to you both tomorrow. GOD SPEED ðŸ™ðŸ½

You’re welcome... thanks so much

Good morning Leslie. Please for the NVC Stage what documents are required. I want know so I can start gathering the needed documents .

Hi Tamarajane - This is the link that I used for documents
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/collect-and-submit-forms-and-documents-to-the-nvc/step-5-collect-supporting-documents.html

Administrative Review: They want the original marriage license and not a certified copy

Congratulations. Does it mean the original wasn't uploaded during NVC stage?

Yes, original was submitted

Congrats on yall approval. How long did it take for NVC to email you with Interview date??

@Ms.F.Brown1 - about a week or two later

Good morning Leslie. Congrats on your approval
my husband is a US citizen and he is filing his tax but don’t know what if he should file as married filing separately or married filing jointly I don't have SSN. I need your advice on how he should go about his tax filing for the purpose of immigration. Thank you.

Hi... My tax accountant advised me to file married filing separately. However every case is different I’m not sure if a tax advisor would give you the same advice.

Thank you so much. Please at what point will I be asked to upload my police certificate

NVC stage

The police certificate is it after I must have submitted the IV application before I will be able to upload the police certificate.

We only used the police report on 2 occasions. Once for civil documents at the NVC level after payments were processed and then at the interview.

Good morning lesile. Please, is there a link I can check the United states poverty guideline

Hi, Tamarajane - https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
** Not all cases are transfered
