Odd question. When I applied for my spouse I-130, it got stuck and I got it unstuck by using a trick that others on Visa Journey used by filing a I-129F. It worked very quickly. Im wondering if I can do the same for my stepson. It is stuck at Potomac, but with an I-824 (send approved I-130 to NVC). Any thoughts? Anyone tried this? https://www.uscis.gov/family/family-of-us-citizens/k-3k-4-nonimmigrant-visas#:~:text=You may file Form I,obtain a K-3 visa. Thanks. -
Hi Everyone, So my Fiancée and i are in the final steps of completing our i-129f form and corresponding evidence, we have everything ready to print but we are not sure how to physically set everything out when we print it all. Would we be better off putting everything in a ring binder or is loose paper in clear plastic pockets better? Do we need title pages to state every different section of the evidence/ forms? What is the best order to put things in? Even if someone could point me to a previous post outlining this all so we can get it sorted, we want to make sure we have everything set out appropriately and clearly so the officer/ reviewer can navigate everything smoothly, and we can have a better peace of mind when it comes to making sure everything is in the right order and concise. Thank you for your time! -
My parents were in a relationship back when my mom was in high school. After they had me, they separated for a long time, and now I'm 29. Eventually, in 2018, they reconnected and started talking again. Since then, they've met three times—in 2019 and twice in 2022. Recently, my dad proposed to my mom, and now she wants to apply for a fiancé visa. my dad has a child with a different woman, who is 22. Is it okay for my mom to apply for a fiancé visa? -
We submitted the I-129F in December 2022 and just received an RFE. It says the submitted evidence do not establish each other's physical presence. It does say "as evidence to support the two year personal meeting requirement, you submitted booking details, text messages, boarding pass, pictures and intent to marry letters", yet it also says there is no evidence that we have met in the past 2 years....we did submit entry stamps from the passport but since they didn't mention them, I'm thinking they might have gotten lost or maybe we forgot to attach them. It also says "Your form I-129F is missing page 5, 6, 7 and 8. Complete all items on the form as per USCIS requirements and attached copy of the petition and include your signature and date. If any item does not apply, write "N/A" even though we did submit those pages. 1. What more could we submit as proof of meeting? We did describe our meetings but perhaps we need to be even more detailed? 2. Do we resubmit the whole application or do we just resubmit these missing pages and the requested evidence? Grateful for any kind of advice 🙏🏻 -
Hi all! My fiance, the petitioner, just found a pending charge for “visa processing” on their credit union from the USCIS. He had submitted the petition at the end of April 2023, got our NOA1, and fast-forward to 6 months later, is still waiting for the NOA2. It’s only October 2023 right now that we are waiting for the NOA2. Is this a sign that we should be preparing for the next steps for the NOA2? Or is it still too early and we should just wait? I really don’t know whether the pending charge means the officers are looking into our case or what… -
Hi everyone, I received USCIS’ notice of receipt for our I-129F in March of this year (2023). My question is - I just moved to Brazil to be with my Fiancé while we wait for the visa to be approved. How can I notify USCIS of this update? To be clear I do not wish to update my address. When applying for the visa, I intentionally used my mothers mailing address in the states so that she could receive any / all communication on my behalf, which is significantly more reliable than changing the address to here in Brazil. I just want to notify USCIS of this “update" since I believe this significantly fortifies our case and shows that we truly have a relationship/intend to be married. Additionally - if we are worried about mail not reaching my beneficiary’s address here in Brazil, is there a way to update her mailing address? Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated. -
Hey! My partner and I are trying to fill the I129-F but we have some questions... We made a letter of intent to marry and e-signed, is it valid? We e-signed some other letters, but we are not 100% sure about it How long would it take to get some court documents from California and Denver, how can he get those? Does he need to explain them in detail? We don't have any pics from the proporsal, do we need them? Also do we need letters from out families? We are not very close to any of them, besides I still live at home but with super strict parents.

I see websites (Boundless) say that the U.S. citizen sponsor must 100% meet the income requirements for a K-1 visa as a minimum, while it's 125% for the Form I-864 AOS. I am confused though because another website (VisaNation) says it should be 125%, and that the 100% only applies to active duty members of the Armed Forces. If ever the 125% does need to be met by a k1 visa sponsor, can the beneficiary combine her income (I work as a freelancer, and I earn around $1.8k a month) to her sponsor's? My sponsor at the moment can only meet around 105% of the HHS Poverty Guideline. -
Hello everyone! I'm a professional over thinker and I just realised that we sent, in the initial I-129F packet, the passport photos in the wrong size. Instead of the US version of 2x2 in we sent the European size. What are the chances we receive an RFE because of that? Thank you

Hello! I am a Fiancee of a male from the United States, and we've been dating for about 4 years now. Right now, we are preparing requirements for the petition for alien fiancee. I am wheelchair-bound and was born with a degenerative disease called muscular dystrophy (myotonic-congenital type), that causes me to progressively lose muscle mass and my locomotive abilities, and me and my fiance very much wants to be married in the US soon and spend the rest of my life by his side. So, we wonder if our case can be expedited with this reason. Here's a sidenote, I am from a middle-class family in the Philippines. Though we're not able to get the necessary treatments for my scoliosis and other certain health problems because of certain specialists uavailable in our province, we get by very well and my basic needs are sustained by my immediate family (like: foods, dental, doctor's appointment for minor sickness, education, clothes, etc.). I have documents as proof for my degenerative disease, and my fiance also just wants to provide me the quality life I need, treatments that are easily available in US, and just be able to prolong my life and time with him. Both of our families and friends are also very much willing to support us. Hope to hear you guys' input on this. It would really mean a lot! Thank you all in advance.

In June 2022, my fiance lost his USA-issued passport upon visiting me here in the Philippines. He filed for an affidavit of loss, and he received an emergency passport (to be used for him return to the States after his visit). Now, we are using the affidavit of loss to explain the loss of earlier passport stamps on his visit in June 2022. My fiance is filing his I-129F petition. However, this 2023, it is only coming to me that there is a clerical error on the affidavit: it mentions there that my fiance is "a holder of a USA passport, issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs (PH)" instead of the Department of State (US). Should I file for an affidavit of correction now, or will this error be excused by the USCIS officer? Will this be grounds for an RFE, or am I being delusional?

Hello, My fiancé is a US citizen petitioner who is estranged from his father. He only knows his first and last name. He does not know his middle name, birth place, and area of residence. His mother has passed away, and nobody else in his life knows about his father. On his I-129F, is he allowed to write "unknown" on the appropriate spaces, or is it more appropriate to use "N/A?" This might sound like a silly question, sorry. The instructions on the I-129F don't seem to mention using "unknown" as a response. Edit: Is "unknown" more correct to use than "N/A" in this situation?

Hi everyone! Is anyone can help me about this, please? My I-129F was just approved but I moved to another city here in Brazil. Where can I update my address? I’m afraid of them sending something to the old address. Thank you everyone!

So for the last five years before moving back to the states I was stationed overseas in Spain while attached to a ship. Should I just put the address of the base? -
I understand the LEGAL age for marriage is 18+, but with the current 12+ month expected time to get the VISA, I have an interesting and unusual question. Does the girl absolutely NEED to be 18 before we can meet, date, and get engaged? ...and submit the I-129F packet? (even with her families full support) Is anything before she is 18 unusable? * She will be 18 (or maybe 19) by the time she gets the Visa to come to the USA. I'm thinking that her age at THAT TIME is all that REALLY matters. Background: I first met the FILIPINA girl when she was 16 through an app. At that time I didn't want to WAIT for her to become 18. So we just remained FB "friends." Recently, she said that she was 17 now. So, I think, why not explore the chemistry at least. We have great chemistry and she's much more HONEST than many others I chat with. I really like her and I think she could potentially be the BEST choice for me. I want to keep things legal and legit and moral. (Honestly, I wish she was 19+) I'm just curious about what can we LEGALLY do without NEEDing to WAIT for her 18th birthday (about 10 months away). Maybe I will go and meet her and spend time with her (with a chaperone) 6 months before she turns 18, and then submit the I-129F right after that. Is that possible?

I filed for a I-129F in July 2021. On September 28 2022, I received NOA2 form I-797 saying it's "Valid From 09/28/2022 to 01/27/2023". On December 20, 2022, I received an email notice from NVC saying they have forwarded the petition to the Canadian US Consulate in Montreal. However my partner is still waiting to receive the packet from the US Consulate via mail. Do I need to file an extension on the I-797, since that date is in less than 3 weeks? If that date passes, does USCIS drop the case? I'm finding conflicting information, some saying that it's automatically extended, some saying that it doesn't matter as soon as the NVC processes the case, and both of us worried that we should try to extend it anyway. And I don't know the best way to do that. -
I recently filed the I-129f on Nov 17th, thinking the k1 visa process would take about eight months, but it looks like it will take much longer. I thought of having my sister file an I-134A on behalf of my Haitian national fiancé instead of me since I recently lost my job due to a work injury. I've been getting worker's comp benefits; sadly, that doesn't count as income. Yet, I don't want her I-129f to be denied or not selected for the humanitarian parole program. Can my sister file an i-134a for my Haitian fiancée while she's waiting for her i-129f to be approved? -
My husband and I filed I-130 for me and about 40 days later we filed I-129F for K3. The receipt we got for the I-130 said it’s at the Nebraska Service Center. Meanwhile, the receipt we got for the I-129F shows that it’s at the Texas Service Center (SRC are the first letters of the receipt #). My question now is this: does this mean that our filing is transferred from Nebraska to Texas? Are these two filings always processed at the same service center? I ask because according to USCIS website, different service centers have different process timelines and it seems Texas is one of the slowest ones. -
So me and my partner have been watching the Jan to Dec 2021 Filers google doc's spreadsheet like hawks this past year. With them coming close to December I just wanted to see if anybody knew of a 2022 Filers list please? The guys which have been keeping on top of the 2021 list have done an outstanding job! *Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong sub-section!* -
Me and my partner are looking for the best way to proceed. I'm from Italy, he's USC. Since the waiting time is almost the same, we're leaning to get married and proceed with a CR-1 visa, more than picking the K1 path. Our concern about this is the traveling while the I-130 is pending. What are the chances of a tourist visa getting denied because of this? Would this be a problem only with a pending I-130 or also with a pending I-129F? I know for this purpose there's the K3 visa, but the waiting time is the same so there's no point. We are willing to wait for the whole procedure to go through, but not being able to see each other in the meantime would be crazy. Thank you for the help!

We sent our I-129F via certified mail and we have confirmation that they received our application on the 27th of December. Today is the 4th of January and we still haven't got an e-mail receipt from them and the money has not been cashed yet. (We added the G-1145 and the G-1450 on the top of our packet). We also thoroughly checked the application before sending it to make sure that everything is correct. Is anybody else experiencing a similar delay?? -
Hello, I am working on filling out the I-134 affidavit of support for my fiance. I needed a co-sponsor so I am trying to collect everything I need for evidence. So far, I have one pay stub, 2021 tax return, and W2 form for 2021. Do I need anything else? The cosponsor's income is enough and I do not need to add assets. I read online somewhere that a letter from the bank is required to include information of how much was deposited within a year and what his current balance is, but he tried getting that and the Bank was not able to provide it, which is why we have monthly summaries of his deposits. I also read we need a letter from his employer, but the thing is he works in a corporate and has no contact with his employers or managers as they are always out of state. Do you guys thing what I have so far is sufficient? -
We filed our I-129F application 6 weeks ago and we still haven't received a receipt yet. Unfortunately we paid with a money order so there is no way to know if they cashed in the money. My fiancé is the petitioner and he wants to start the process all over again. Is that a good idea?? Please help 🙏

Hello! Just had a quick question regarding joint/co sponsors. My I-129f petition for a K-1 visa for my fiancee to come to the US has finally been approved after almost 16 months. We submitted it on July 6, 2021 and it was approved on October 19th, 2022. We're now waiting for the NVC letter. We were just wondering what form our joint/co sponsor would need to fill out? Would it be I-864 or I-134? I am currently unemployed so would I still need to fill out form I-134? It's my understanding that the co sponsor would fill out I-864 and I would still need to fill out I-134 but please correct me if I'm wrong. Really appreciate your help!

Hello everyone 2 quick questions. Nov. 2021 filer for I-129f waiting for our approval which I will assume will be sometime in January 2023. I am currently living in Lima with my fiancé as she is 6 months pregnant with our daughter. Actually it’s pretty funny she might be born when we finally get approved fingers crossed. Question 1 : I recently changed my address to my brothers address in San Diego as I will be staying here in Peru until we go back to US as a family, but when I changed it I changed both physical and mailing address to his San Diego address. Should I change the physical address back to my Los Angeles address that is on my license and all my documents? I just don’t want any problems further down the line in this process. Does my physical address really matter? Question 2: I don’t remember what mailing address we put down for her in the application but we are now living in a new apartment and will have this address until we leave. Is there a way to update her address to our new address here in Peru? Does it matter or is it irrelevant because I read that anything after the actual application is sent and done online and through email. I just want to make sure because I do remember filing in her address. Thank you everyone!
