I-129F Processing Time - which Service Center?

[ryan.j.engleman 0]

Hello,

My fiancée and I met while working together on a cruise ship. We are now stuck working on two different cruise ships, and trying very hard to juggle contracts and vacation times to spend time with each other while waiting for her K1 approval. Because of that, I am particularly interested in the "estimated approval dates" and when we can reasonably expect to receive the NOA2. (Of course we are well aware of the variables at play here). My question is this: when looking at the charts for the estimated approval date, which Servicing Center do we look at. Initially we indicated Texas, because that's where we sent the petition, but the NOA1 came from California.

Thanks in advance,

Ryan

Welcome to the forum.

Check the prefix of your I-797c receipt, EAC = Vermont Service Center, WAC = Califronia Service Center.

Good luck on your visa journey .

You are processed with CSC, so you estimated timeline for approval is correct. CSC will probably be adjudicating August petitions by the end of October barring any problems.

Thank you kindly.

Precision: you sent your file to the Texas lockbox, which is a different place than the Texas Service Center. TSC doesn't process I-129F petitions, only California SC and Vermont SC do.

Don't have any advice for you, but my fiancee (Indonesian) and I met working on a Holland-America Line ship! We're 25 days away from seeing each other again as my next contract starts then We're hoping things time out for her consular interview in Indonesia when our contract ends!

Good luck! What line are you with?
