Same exact form, but one of the first boxes on the front page (choose either 4a or 4b) will indicate if you are filing it as a K1 fiancé or K3 spouse. Really the major difference is that you don't have to resubmit evidence related to your ongoing relationship (since that should already be in the I-130) and there is no fee for it. You do have to mail it in, there is no online option for it.

Hope that I get an update from someone here regarding this I129F. I'm following

ohh.. didn't know that.

I though Toronto process that.

but based on your comment, one month is very good time frame though.

Maybe this should give you some peace of mind

The anecdotal evidence so far seems to imply that people filing online get the AR status pretty quickly if not right away. I don't think it changes our place in the queue, though it's hard to know what's going on behind the scenes.

 

I wonder from a process/business management perspective... It might be that, if they are trying to move everyone to electronic forms, people filing on paper take a little longer as they might have an extra step to scan/upload?

If I may add, if USCIS is attempting to clear any such backlog, I'll make the point that online filing speeds up the process incrementally and administratively. Think of it like this, it saves them time from receiving mailed in packages, to being assigned to an officer, reviewing, entering your info/form in the system, scanning documents, waiting on the cheque to clear, filing it in a cabinet, printing a copy to send to a service center...etc...I am just guessing what goes on in the background. I'll assume again that when it's filed online, all of that is already done and should only take a few days to verify the authenticity of relevant documents before it's electronically tagged, approved/denied and forwarded to another location.  I don't think I should have to wait in long queue if I'm assisting you digitally in clearing the backlog. Moreover, of course most attorneys wont encourage online filing for whatever reason/s.

Are you nervous because of any particular reason or just anxiety in general?  

Maybe I used the wrong word. The waiting that I've read throughout these forums and online have me anxious.

Hi guys. We filed online on May 19 and got a receipt within hours. Submitted alot of evidence. I'm very nervous. My spouse also spoke to USCIS regarding expedited service and was told that they would call her within 5-7 days. Today is day 2 of the wait. My NO1 says Texas.
