I will give you my two cents worth. The same thing happened to me. My wife had two boyfriends in two weeks of arriving in USA. One was a lawyer she had met on a cupid site before she left her native country. The other was a Mexican national with US citizenship. I had evidence of e-mails, chat sessions from computer, personal signed notes and letters. Photos of infedelity and vacations with one of the men to Mexico. The lawyer gave her $2000 to get a divorce. (Which I think she returned). One of the men even made her pregnant but there was complications. The wife filed a restraining order against me.. The case was thrown out of court. The judge saw right through what she was doing to stay in USA. I was granted a divorce. I turned everything in to the fraud unit and and the ex-wife was not deported. I have no idea why. I never heard from immigration. She kept her green card. My ex-wife met another man and re-married. She is now a US citizen. IT WAS PURE FRAUD ON HER PART. SHE HAD NO ENTINSIONS OF STAYING WITH ME. I found out later, she had help and coaching from a friend in the government of Colombia. So fraud or not, it depends on what immigration wants to do.

You're giving USCIS too much credit. They're not that pro-active or competent. Whoever processes your file will basically just run down the checklist to make sure your application has everything. If it doesn't, they'll send you a RFE. If it does, you're approved. If they're puzzled by anything, they'll send you a RFE. They just won't put it in some hold file. There really isn't any grey area when it comes to USCIS doing this stuff. At least not at this stage.
And your NOA1 is one month old as of today? Check the case numbers before and after yours on the USCIS website and see if they've been approved. If not, then you definitely don't have any reason to worry. If they have, then there is a good chance you'll be soon.
Unfortunately you have no recourse to do a single thing for 4 more months unfortunately. You just have to wait. Out of ____ cases I've read about from CSC in the past few months on this board, only one person (sco/wen I think is his user name) has had an extended wait (5+ months) from CSC. There really is no reason to worry yet.

Hi all,
My I129F for K1 was received by CSC and I have received an NOA1 dated 1/5/15. When I look at the data here on VJ for other K1 filers at the CSC it seems that many with NOA1 dates as late as 1/22 have received NOA2 already. Elsewhere on VJ I read an interview with a former USCIS examiner and he said they review applications strictly in order of receipt date; upon review, they either approve and send NOA2 or "hold" for further review or evaluation. Given this, it is clear that either 1) they do not review in order of receipt date, or 2) we ended up in the "hold" pile.
I set up a MyUSCIS account and have added my receipt number. It shows "last updated" date of 1/7 with no further information. I read somewhere that every time they handle the application, they will add a record to the case in MyUSCIS.
Does anyone have experience with this - should I be worried? Can anyone help me understand what might be going on? I called the USCIS customer service number but they were clueless...
Thanks!

Sorry, I was using the I-130 as an example because the I-130 asks if you have filed a petition for any relative. The I-130 is used for a spouse, in addition to other kinds of relatives.
The I-129F asks specifically if you have ever filed for a fiancé and/or spouse. It doesn't specify if you have ever filed an I-129F only, therefore you have to interpret the question based on the relationship (fiancé or spouse).
What does this mean? Simple. If you have ever filed for either a fiancé and/or a spouse in the past you have to answer yes, regardless of whether it was an I-129F or an I-130.

Was her case deemed frivolous?

So if you appeal, it will only extend the voluntary period for 30 days. If she accrues more than 6 months of unlawful presence here in the States, she will get a 1 year ban. If she stays longer than a year, that's a 10 year ban. I think its best to listen to the lawyer and file a K1 visa. Spousal visa takes much longer than the fiance visa and her overstaying and getting married in a rush might not look good during your adjustment interview (if you get one). Yes, others adjust their status this way. But their case is not as complicated as yours. In short, just follow the law. Yes, its 6 months of being apart. But thats better than possibly being apart of 3 years.. or a decade :S
