Hi guys, 

 

Want to wish all you guys the best of luck and a speedy journey. We filed in late December and honestly the first few months go by so quick! It’s like day 108 for us and I remember it only being day 5 on the app! How time flys by...

 

So refreshing to see months go by and more people going on this journey! Always remember that good things come to those who wait ❤️

 

All the best, 

Jon 🍀

Hey everyone!  Glad to be in the April filers thread with you all!  

 

I just mailed off my I-129F form along with EVERYTHING... excepttttt I totally spaced it and forgot to send the optional e-notification form (G-1145).  So if I forgot that, does anyone know how will I find out when they accept my filing?  Ugh, I knew I'd forget something but at least it wasn't anything critical that would slow down the review of my documents.  Does anyone know if there's a way to send this form in still so that it can get added to my file and I receive future notifications?  

 

Excited to finally have everything submitted... I had seen my fiancee several times since last fall, but only recently decided we were going to apply for a K-1 visa, so on my last trip to Colombia (where she lives), I made sure to get really solid evidence of us being together and submitted everything in a very complete and organized manner. Hopefully things will go smoothly because we are hoping that she can get here to the States by the first of 2019.  I realize that's pushing it at around 8 months out, but from what I've seen...maybe it's possible. Good luck everyone with the wait!

I think you will just have to wait to get the letter in the mail. Welcome to our April group. I love being able to talk to others in the same boat as me.
