Case was approved on April 4 (after RFE).

I checked the status of the case on USCIS website and it says "Request for additional evidence was sent on February 17".

What kind of additional evidence do they need?

From today's data:

 

Most recent approval in the 28000 is Dec 10

Most approvals in the 25000 are Dec 3

 

I will add most recent approval filing date for reference in future daily udpate posts, and @mw & rg k1 also shares data analysis by filing dates every Tuesday & Friday. So we can wait and see what's up tomorrow 

We are in 28000 series. Thank you.

While waiting for any progress, can someone give a list of documents required for the next stage?

You wait for the I-129F petition to be approved first.  You will then receive instructions about how to submit the DS-160 and I-134 for each person who needs a visa, plus other required documents depending on the country where the K-1 and K-2 interviews will be done.  Fill out your timeline for best advice.  Good luck!

Beneficiary is from Brazil as well.

So, DS 160 & I-134 is needed for my fiancée/girlfriend and her child?

You  need to read and and every link if you want to continue to DIY.  You’ve lots of time to do so, 1-2 years.

How do I block you? I don't want to read your messages.

Is I-129F approved?

 

Have you read all these links to understand the process?

So first I-129F must be approved and then I can file for K-2?

I sent I-129F application in December 2021. In Part 2 (Information about your beneficiary) I wrote the child's name and all necessary information (section 39 to 43 in Part 2). However, I have not filed DS-160 or I-134 forms yet.

I googled and found this list:

• Duly filled in Form DS-160 (to be submitted online)
• Passport
• Copy of birth certificate
• Completed Form I-134
• Affidavit of Support and sponsor documents
• Passport sized photograph
• Result of medical examination (from an Embassy accredited physician)

Is it a full list?

DS-160 is filed online (I have not filed it yet). What about other supporting documents?

For those who have just filed your I-129f application with USCIS, this thread has been created for your needs and for you to be with others experiencing different aspects of this journey. This is a place to ask questions and to share experiences. All are here to learn together. Stay patient because this is a long process currently running 6 - 9 months for your NOA2 approval. Then depending on your embassy, you will be dealing with backlogs. 

 

Also note that USCIS goes by "Received date" not NOA-1:

Example

I-129 F Sent -  December 5, 2021

I-129 F Received - December 9, 2021

I-129 F - Notice Date - December 17, 2021

 

In this example your NOA-1 should be December 9. This will help you fill out your timeline properly.
