Applied for the k1 visa November 2024 and still waiting for a response. Just trying to be patient. Can't wait to start my life with my best friend. What month did you apply or how long have you been waiting?

Please complete your timelines. I think you're in normal processing times but check uscis.gov.

Did you file the I-129F petition in November, with USCIS?

Or did you file the visa application in November, with the consulate?

There's a big difference.

Please complete your timeline.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Your timeline is the crucial thing to fill in - on your profile. Then you'll be contributing towards the body of knowledge on VJ, but also get more accurate info and answers too.

 

Good luck.

Hello guys,

 

I filed an I-129F November 2024 and I finally got a response from uscis and it's to get fingerprints done (biometrics). Does anybody know what happens after I do the biometrics? Or anyone had a similar situation what happened in your case?

 

And I have another question: for the life of me I can't remember if I signed my I-129F application, since they sent this NOA to do biometrics that means I must've signed it right?
