APRIL 2020 I-129F (K-1) Filers

[Armika 20]

We sent our I-129F package on the 7th of April. Our  journey began. 🤗 Hoping to hear something soon. Best of luck to us all  🥰

I mailed my I-129 on March 30th and today I see they deducted the fee out my account. So I know I’m waiting for a letter in the mail . But I’m curious to know does it mean I sent everything necessary and no extra documents will be needed? Also I’m in the military. Can I ask for expedited processing? I have verbal orders to Bahrain in September. What if I am moved to Bahrain before there process is finished what will happen to my case ? Can it still continue?

The have your forms and your money along with your attention. All is good so far. Your files will be scanned and sent from Dallas to California where they begin processing your application. So, no you are not in the clear. It will take 3-7 months "your mileage may vary" before you will know of any RFE's. RFE's are sent all at once with each item they need to finish the adjudication process.

 

You can certainty try for your case to be expedited.

My approximate timelime is changed every day... It is shown now that on one week it is moved (was the end of June now the middle of June) How often  does timeline of this site match whith real approval of petitions ?

It's not a complete and accurate yardstick to how well it works. For some, it's close to being accurate for others it's not helpful. The VJ timeline is based on the accuracy of the individuals posting and the number in the sampling.
