l-129F delay

[wajir 4]

Hello everyone, I hope you are all holding up like me.  I am very anxious because it has been over 204 days since I received receipt notice.  I haven't heard anything else neither has my case been updated since the day it was received.  I am worried as well as my fiancee.  I filed in November, 27 2024.  I have seen a lot of the same receipt dates being approved I kind of feel like I've been left out/forgotten.  Has anyone one else been delayed.  Have you been approved if you filed in Nov.27.2024?  Please help me I am losing all my marbles at this point. Distance is also stressing us.

You can check to make sure you're still within normal processing times here - https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

 

As long as you've not gone over that (I doubt it if it's only been 204 days) then try not to worry, you won't have been forgotten. Good luck, hope you hear soon.

Thanks a lot let me check.

Ours was 265 days from receipt until approval and with the I-129F there will be no updates on the case status after receipt until either an RFE, a denial or approval. I know it's hard but in the end, know that it is worth it! Hoping for an approval for you soon!

Thank you for your support.  It's stressful.

There is no delay at this point; you are still well within normal processing time. All you can do is relax and sit back and wait. Try to visit each other if you can.

Thanks.  It's all I can do.  I just came from there this April.(:

The times varies greatly, in early 2024 people were getting NOA2s in a few months, and by the time I applied in August things had slowed down quite a bit. We ended up getting ours in 5 months. Then it hit another stall a few months later. 

 

It is really hard, but try not to think worst case scenario, processing has just slowed down, it does not mean you have been forgotten.  Good luck!

My fiance and I had our application received on November 6th 2024. We recently received our NOA2 as of June 3th 2025. We waited 210 days, your time is definitely coming

November 13 here still waiting, USCIS has slowed down to a crawl over the last two months, seems like we’re stuck waiting for some time
