Thanks!

We've met several times and lived together. We just wanted to get as much as possible, but good to know that it doesn't matter that much. But we don't need the witness's ID?

No ID. Our witness statements were just signed by our witnesses and their details written ie names, phone number and email

This is an error that can be explained away with either and inquiry coming from USCIS with and RFE (which I doubt will happen) or from the CO during the interview. There is nothing that you should do now but let "sleeping dogs lie (as in lay down)". If the CO questions you at the interview you can go into detail at that time, but again, I see at not being an issue. BUT, be prepared to address. A letter from the lawyer "admitting" to his mistake for use either if an RFE is issued or you are asked at the interview would go a long way in circumventing any dissolutions. If it were me, I wouldn't worry about it.

Thank you! We contacted the lawyer and the paralegal apologised (!!!!!!) but said it won’t affect the petition. 
 

I’ll still ask them to give me a letter of admittance later on down the track. 

I have a question with regard to something similar like this on our application but I wasn't sure if I should worry or not. On our cover letter, our lawyer wrote a short blurb about 'Mr [my fiance's name] is petitioning to have his fiancee MRS [my name] to come to the USA' etc etc. I have never been married therefore never been a Mrs, it is a total typo and resulted in my telling the lawyer exactly how I felt about him putting his paralegals on the case for us instead of doing the work himself. 

On the actual form to the marriage question they marked no for the 'ever been married before' question. Since the cover letter isn't part of the official I-129F I'm trying to tell myself it should not matter because otherwise I'll work myself into a state and freak out. Should I worry?

For the most accurate times, go to USCIS.gov.  Current processing/interview wait times for a family-based I-485 for Nashville is 13.5-26.5 months.

Sigh. We need a worldwide 2x speed button! Thanks for the info

Not the green card (there is no way she would get it in under a year), that is the time it would take to get the AP document to be able to reenter the US after leaving.  One of the many K-1 drawbacks.

The time taken to get the 2 year green card, does that depend on the local USCIS office or does it still go through the big processing centres? I was trying to figure out what the graphs mean on the guidelines page and noticed some offices like Boston and Newark were taking over a year but others like Nashville (which will be mine once I move I assume) is taking about 9 months.

We are planning on doing the marriage ceremony in the US and then after all the paperwork is done (AOS), we will go back to his country to do another celebration there. From what I've read on these forums, it is not recommended to have any type of celebration that can be seen as a wedding until after the K1 is completed (which is entry into the US)

This is what we are doing as well. Our wedding in Sydney has had some deposits paid for but we are going to have to end up pushing it another year to makes sure AOS is complete. Didn't want to risk anything! 😕 

The first graph I believe says CSC which I now assume means California service centre...? 
 

I will definitely update my NOA1 as soon as we receive! I thought I’d leave checking for updates on it for at least another 2 weeks given the delay plus on top of that the holiday period. Knowing me once I start checking I become obsessed and won’t stop. 
 

thank you I will definitely check the Aus specific forums! 

Happy new year from Australia everyone! 🎉 let’s hope 2021 is our year! 
 

I’m trying to figure out how to read the graphs on the processing guides page. My fiancé and I sent our I-129F in on December 23rd. Does this mean ours is processed around now? 

It's super nice to find a forum for people who will hopefully be on the same journey with us! Though we filed JUST before Christmas so could more than likely be in Jan2021 filers. Thanks all the same. Nice to have a group of people to chat to!
