June 2022 K-1 I-129f Filers

[madmanmike 188]

Hello...Welcome! I copied this post from another month so us June fillers could start tracking our process. If anything is screwed up , the fault is mine. 

 

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.

 

Stay patient because this is a long process currently running 10-13 months for your NOA2 or petition approval by USCIS (first stage). Then your petition will be sent to NVC (second stage) and finally your interview at the embassy (third stage).  Also, do not compare yourself to others....Some will receive NOA-2 faster than others, some will be stuck at NVC for longer and then finally some will receive interviews fairly quickly at embassy. STAY PATIENT! 

 

Please create the timeline in your profile. Also note that USCIS goes by "Received date" :

 

Example

I-129 F Sent -  March 31, 2022

I-129 F Received - April 1, 2022 (NOA-1) 

I-129 F - Notice Date - April 4, 2022

 

In this example your NOA-1 should be April 1. This will help you fill out your timeline properly.

We mailed our application yesterday. Supposed to arrive Texas tomorrow. 
 

Here we go again. I did this once, 15 years ago. Things happen. I’m  trying again. Thailand last time. Philippines this time. 
 

I copied the first post from another thread, I hope that is ok. 
 

Let’s go, June filers!

Just mailed out ours yesterday too, thanks for starting the thread!

[madmanmike 188]

USPS tracking tells me the parcel is available for pickup. I am assuming this means it’s in the PO Box. 
 

Yay. 

[madmanmike 188]

Just received email confirmation. Uncle Sam has our application. Ok. First step complete.

I mailed my I-129F out 06/08/2022

Package delivered by UPS 06/10/2022

 

Today, 06/13/2022 The $535 charge just hit my credit card.

 

Now patiently waiting my NOA1. Will I receive that through mail/text/email?

 

For reference I am US Petitioner, petitioning for my Mexican beneficiary.

They will mail you for sure, but the text will most likely come first! It was like that for us.

Yup just got my text today! Looks like mine will be processed at California service center sin WAC were first 3 letters. Interesting be cause I heard Kentucky petitioners get processed at Texas service center.

Same here. WAC. Sigh. A little disappointing since some other service centers are touting 6 months or less processing time.

 

At the same time, I have read that all I-129f are processed in California. 

[meladee 160]

@madmanmike @TUC Yeah all of the i-129F forms are processed in California, except if the US citizen has a criminal background it gets forwarded to Vermont. This site has a great table for showing where each form is processed: https://www.immi-usa.com/checking-uscis-case-status-and-processing-times/
