Its not easy to tell how long it might take because it depends on the backlog but you will know the estimated time after you enter the date of your NOA1 in your timeline.

There is no precise answer to that question. But you can view the "Immigration Timelines" and "Processing Times" links at the top of this page. That will give you a good idea of the times involved based on VJ member experiences.

There are numerous steps in this dance with Immigration that will occur over the next 4-6 months, including plenty of waiting. You should read through the "Guides" section and get a good understanding of what is happening now (see K-1 flowchart) as well as trying to understand what you will be required to do after the K-1 is approved.

I would like to just ask a question as I am having trouble finding the answer via forum searching....

Is there a thread that has a step by step guide for each section of the I-129F? I realize almost all of it is self-explanatory but i am not sure if I need to "X" the block labeled "PARENTS" under section 10. Is it asking if I am a parent or if I have parents? It seems like if it wants me to say if I am a parent or not it would say "PARENT?" in the form of a question and remove the "S" since that section is for me only and not my spouse :huh: . Hope that makes sense. Probably a stupid question but it's better to read too far into it than not far enough I think. Thanks.
