February 2021 K1 Filers

[J&D1008 376]

Just here to help. Since no one started the discussion, this is here for the  Feb 2021 k1  filers. 

[Vladislav667 60]

I’m happy to finally say that our process has started. 
I-129F sent 02/03/2021

I-129F received 02/09/2021

 

Hope it’ll be faster the three months to get NOA1

 

Best luck to everyone!

Mine shows delivered as of 2/11/21. I too hope we don’t have to wait till May for our NOA1s.

Good luck, folks.  Do not be surprised if it does take upwards of 90 days.  They're tearing through November right now, though, so there may be a point where they do catch up to normal processing times.  Fingers crossed.

[J&D1008 376]

Yes processing times are at 6-8 months now which does not include NVC and interview. So even if you get a delayed notice recipet, it appears they are backdating and counting the months you waited.

Did you get your NOA-1 yet?

Yep, 88 days later

Oh I didn’t see it in your timeline. But I know you filed in November. 

[Gail and Derrick 270]

Packet received on February 9.

 

I've been watching Case Status Online the last couple of days and, as NeonParticles said, they're tearing through November. I've seen a few from early January and a couple today from December, but most have been November. I saw a lot of November 12 yesterday and a lot of November 24 today. Not sure why there's a scattering of January mixed in although there's speculation on that in some of the earlier monthly subs. I'm hoping they're getting back up to speed and wait times will decrease. I guess the good news is that the NOA1 is getting back-dated to the actual date of receipt. 

 

Good luck everyone! May your wait times be short.

This is going to be our month! Planning to send our application in next week. Fingers crossed the NOA1 doesn’t take as long. It’s good to hear they’re possibly working more quickly through the backlog. 

[J&D1008 376]

Keep a watch out for the December and January filers.

I feel like they're just taking random files, otherwise it doesn't make sense that they're looking at January when November is still not finished. Our application was received on January 4th and still nothing.

It could have been a RFE

The bulk of what I've seen have been November. I saw a few early December yesterday and a couple of early January. The latest I've seen is Jan 12. So either those are RFEs or expedited somehow or the system of piling the packets up by date of receipt leads to some occasionally being placed in the wrong pile. Unfortunately, all we can do is speculate. I'm assuming there will be a large pile from early Dec because those received over Thanksgiving wouldn't have been moved as quickly. The last case processed yesterday (from what I can tell) and assigned a WAC# was dated December 10. The one before that was Dec 10 and the one before that was Nov 25.
