How much time for visa for fiancee

[ckm8 0]

I have received a letter dated Oct 22, 2009 for the application for the I129F visa for my girlfriend in Thailand. It is being processed in the Calif office. I have checked on the internet and all it says it that the case is "initial review". How long do I need to wait until she can get her visa to come to America?

They say six months but it does vary. We were just over five months. I think it depends on the country too. I think Thailand has a lot of fraud cases so that could slow things down. VJ is very helpful during the waiting process. Join a thread of people that have filed the same time that you did...this saved my sanity. Good Luck!!

Please let me know where to find a thread of people.

Thank you

I did a search for October 2009 k-1 and found this: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/222882-october-2009-k-1-visa-filers/

Looks pretty active. I still PM with a few people from our group and we have a page on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=61405522650&ref=ts

BTW: We were a 2008 October filer but we were in Vermont. We are about to celebrate our one year anniversary in the states.

What letter was this? NOA1 or NOA2? If you tell us this, we can help you more.

I went through California, we filed at the beginning of August, 2009, and I had my visa the middle of December, 2009. However, your milage may vary, as it is different for each case.

Hi Alex

The document mailed to me was from the Department of Homeland Security called I-797C, Notice of Action.
