check the airlines that you would use for the flight as many are requiring fully vaccinated and how they view what is needed to fly to the US
they have been briefed 

Still unclear if certain visa holders will be exempt from the new vaccination policy or not.

Hello,
 
It is always very important to follow the instructions. The USCIS officers are following the Policy Manual. Also, what is i-145? I-485 you mean? Regardless, my suggestion is to always follow the instructions to avoid RFE and delays. I did mine within 30 days.

If you are outside the United States and filing for a Refugee Travel Document, or if you are in the United States and filing for an Advance Parole Document:
You must submit 2 identical color photographs of yourself taken within 30 days of the filing of this application. The photos must have a white to off-white background, be printed on thin paper with a glossy finish, and be unmounted and unretouched.

Answer all questions fully and accurately. If a question does not apply to you (for example, if you have never been married and the question asks “Provide the name of your current spouse”), type or print “N/A,” unless otherwise directed. If your answer to a question which requires a numeric response is zero or none (for example, “How many children do you have” or “How many times have you departed the United States”), type or print “None,” unless otherwise directed.

The beneficiary is listed in Part 2 of the form. That section is about the sponsor's dependents, such as children.
 
Follow the example form here on VJ . Do check either one and add the explanation down in part 7 >
N/A (FILING I-129F FOR MY FIANCE TO BEGIN K1 VISA PROCESS FOR PERMANENT RESIDENCE)
 

Takes 4-8 weeks these days to receive NOA1 

EAD is taking close to 8 months, so biometrics will not be for many months.

You should fill out the DS-160 when the consulate tells you to. Wait for their instructions. NOA2 validity can be extended up to a year in 4 month increments. You can email the consulate when and if the time comes that you’re still pursuing your application.

we got RFE too, the deadline is usually 3 months. so you should still have time to receive it before it get expired. after you have submit it, it takes up to 60days for them to give you approval . some might take shorter for approval after they received the evident sent. we waited 42days after submitting the RFE request for approval. but others takes 10-14days max to received it. so good luck.hope you get your hard copy soon 

Hi all, we have received the RFE on Feb 9th and requested us to submit more evidences about meeting in person for the past two years
we have most of the photo ready, airbnb receipts, my passport copy and stamps. however my fiance whom is a US citizen has lost his passport last year. 
his new passport did shows that he lost his passport and it is a new replace passport. 
 
just wondering if he only submits the copy of it, would it be ok? or is there anyway we could tracked his travel history like I-94 ? 
 
also if we do not have any other people's statement would above evident good enough to fulfill the RFE request? 
 
Thank you all for the help

You can practice for the interview together 😄
There are some K1 interview video on YOUTUBE!
Also reading the USCIS's instruction for AOS will be helpful.
 
Good luck 👍 

Following this thread. Hopefully for us July I-129F Filers, we'll be able to hear good news soon. 

Hello everyone!
im sure many if not most of us are doing some form of waiting with the whole K1 process.
not to be naggy or anything but I just wanted to kindly ask if any of you have any new updates, whether it’s interviews, NOAs, RFEs... please remember to update that into your timeline! 
 
Although it doesn’t make things go faster, it could at least help give the rest of us a better of idea of what’s going on and the general timeline. 

thank you very much! 

Recently i get more info on case tracker app. I just check what’s going on with june, july k1 visa filers. Since I applied in july. So most of the cases has the status received, some of them were denied for incorrect filling or insufficient funds, some got rfe...and i saw couple june filers who got approved recently. 

Actually, right after I read your reply my fiance told me that his mom called him to tell that she received the NOA1! That was a huge relief!! Thank you so much for your help:)

All I-129Fs for a K-1 are initially processed at CSC.
Some may be transferred to VSC later, if necessary (usually certain types of background/criminal checks).

California.  All case number start with WAC

there is a tracking number on the cash register receipt at the post office (even when not sent by certified mail) 
if she discarded it and paid by debit or credit card ,  the post office can retrieve it thru there system

I also have not received NOA1. We sent our K1 July 2. But they are probably just backed up

For future reference ways include tracking. Not only will it be beneficial for your peace of mind but you will have proof it arrived where it was supposed to, Has the check been cashed yet?

Hi! Don’t worry about it too much. I’ve seen a lot of people who sent theirs around the last week of June and are still waiting for NOA1. 😊

I-129F*
I-129 is for a worker.
 
It's not unheard of to take over 2 weeks to get a NOA1. Everything is slow right now.
 
No tracking number? I'd suggest avoiding that in the future. Priority Mail flat rate options are like $5-$2 or so, depending on size, and normally arrive within a couple to few days.
 
The first thing to check is if the payment was redeemed (i.e. if the check was cashed, card charged, etc.). If so, a NOA1 should be coming in the mail. If it takes over 30 days, contact USCIS.
 
If not, you can contact the lockbox to see if they can assist: lockboxsupport@uscis.dhs.gov

He can move during the process.  He just needs to update his mailing address with the USCIS.

Please read the directions on filling out the I-129f from USCIS.gov.  There is no 'proof of on-going relationship' component to the petition.  No love story, chat history, or emails.  Please read and research the requirements.
 
If you have a valid visitor visa, you can visit, (subject to CBP/EO etc), but you cannot use it to "live" in the US.  Visa interviews take place at consulates abroad.
