JULY - AUGUST 2019 I-129F FILERS

[Greenbaum 12,258]

For those who have just filed your I-129f application with USCIS, this thread has been created for your needs and for you to be with others experiencing different aspects of this journey. This is a place to ask questions and to share experiences. All are here to learn together. Good luck because this is a long process currently running 5-6 months from filing date for your NOA2 approval.

Also, since your application will go through a number of background checks this is a primer on what goes on with the background process.

 

I know it really sucks, but the best way to get through this is to lower your expectations and try not to compare your timeline to anyone else's. Don't forget that the people here on Visa Journey represent a tiny percentage of all the petitions the CSC has to work through! When someone gets to your file you'll hear from them. Stay busy, talk a lot with your fiancé about non-visa stuff, don't forget to hang out with your friends, take up a new hobby, go to a sporting event, and your time will come! Good luck

 

Explanation why is it taking so long.

Last couple months the participants were dwindling so I thought putting two months together will lend additional responses for all to learn from. Any tips?

I think it's a good idea we just have to watch it and see if it works out.

Welcome and we're glad you found us. There isn't much you can do now but wait. If the beneficiary has lived in any other country for more than 6 months from age 16 they will require a police certificate from that country.

Sit back and as things are going, you may have your approval in about 3 to 4 months.

Welcome to the group, when you say case number you do mean your number beginning with WAC from USCIS?

No. It started with the embassy code

Welcome but you should be in the group where the information is closer to where you are in your process. Please download the PDF on the first post for information on tips, tricks, and hacks. Read the entire thread so you are not asking the same questions that have already been asked. Good luck.

 

Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline OR your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine their Embassy. The country that should be used is the country where the interview will take place.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right-hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Once you finish that then return and you will see a flag in your profile. Select it and see what wonderful information will open up for you.

 

Thanks
