    Update: Today we received this email which is a bit more explanatory 🙂……… Greetings, The National Visa Center (NVC) received your inquiry and the attached I-797 Notice of Action - Approval Notice. However, we do not have a record of receiving your approved petition from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). We will contact USCIS to determine the location of your petition. You do not need to take any action at this time. Thank you for your patience as we work with USCIS to make sure your case is moving forward. Although the Form I-797 approval notice mentions a delay of up to 30 days for cases to be delivered to NVC from USCIS, current shipping times may be longer. Once NVC receives this petition from USCIS and enters it into our system, all case parties will receive a notice that they can begin processing if a visa number is immediately available.

    Thank You Edward, I appreciate your response. Sounds promising, I hope ours is the same then? Such a long journey but we’ll get there 🙂

  6. Joe Bear started following I-129F completion help please? , What does this NVC response mean? , Which documents / letters are sent via physical mail. and 1 other

    We’re currently waiting for USCIS to send our paperwork to the NVC. We sent public enquiry forms. The first two times they responded saying that they haven’t received the petition yet, but today they responded with…. “The correspondence submitted is currently under review. An appropriate action will be taken once this review is completed.” Is this a standard reply? Is it essentially any different in meaning from the previous responses? I’m thinking it may be because I attached a copy of our NOA2 (I-797) this time as it’s past the 60 day mark? What do you think? Any advice?

    Can anyone tell me which (if any) letters or documents etc are sent to the beneficiary during the whole K1 visa process, from any official entity (ie USCIS, NVC or Consulate). And which carrier/provider do they use? (ie UPS, DHL, USPS etc) Our estimated NOA2 date is approaching soon and I am in the process of moving address and I am terrified an important letter etc is delivered to my old address instead of the new one. I am trying to set up mail forwarding services to the new address but need to know which carriers I should do that with? Has anyone been through a similar process or know the information I am requesting? Thank you…..Joe PS. I am the beneficiary (UK citizen) My fiancée is the USC / Petitioner

    Ruthi I had a Quick Look at your timeline to get your NOA1 date. This shows that there are currently 21,833 unprocessed petitions filed before yours. However as Edward and Jaycel correctly suggested above, this doesn’t mean this is your place in the queue.

    On a positive note, it looks like USCIS processed over 200 application today! I don’t know if it was a ‘freak’ productive day or what? If they keep that rate up, it would be awesome!!

    My/Our file date - April 18 Hey fellow April filers. Just thought I’d say hi and hopefully help keep some morale up. Keep hanging in there guys. Our turn is not too far away now. We got this 😁 Got some current USCIS stats if you’re interested?…. (excluding special expedited cases) There were 4052 I-129F’s filed in April 2025. 28 have been withdrawn and 393 have been rejected (off the bat) 89.3% of applications (this includes ours) are sitting waiting to be processed. USCIS are currently working their way through January applications. 23% have been processed already (including immediate rejections) They are currently processing around 110 applications per day which is similar to the number of applications they receive each day. (Note: this is an average and this figure can and will fluctuate daily)

    Ah ok Thank you. I know 1 week is way too short to receive the letter, but didn’t realise the text was ‘hit or miss’ Thank you for replying so quickly btw. I appreciate it 🙂

    I’m sure it’s all fine, but would value you guys thoughts or opinions. After usps taking our i129-f on a magical mystery tour, it finally arrived at Dallas lockbox. However 1 week later we have not had notification from uscis and usps tracking information is the same…. Your item has been delivered and is available at a PO Box at 6:49 am on April 20, 2025 in DALLAS, TX 75266. Is this normal? Should my fiancée (usc/petitioner) not have received a text message by now? Please put my mind at rest lol. Thank you.

    Maybe a little off topic but check skyscanner.net for flight prices. Obv I don’t know your exact destination details but I just had a quick look and as an example, a round trip from Oslo to NYC departing July 24th is €376

    Thank you for your help Edward and Jaycel

    My Fiancée (Petitioner/USC - currently in the US) and myself (beneficiary - currently in the UK) are right at the beginning of our visa journey so please go easy lol. We are in the process of completing the I-129F and have read and familiarised ourselves with the process as much as we feel is possible, however there are still a few questions we are unsure of. Please can anyone offer help/advice? Part 2 (Information about your beneficiary)..... Q24. requests details of my parents names etc. Should we put the details of my biological parents? or my adoptive parents? (I was adopted at the age of 12) or can I use either? Q39. asks if I (the beneficiary) have any children. - My daughter is age 19. My belief is that she should be excluded from this section/question as she is an adult, but I believe some laws/rules in the US consider a child to be up until the age of 21 Part 3 (Other information) and Part 4 (Biographic information)..... Am I correct in assuming that at this point, the requested information has returned to being applicable to my Fiancée (the petitioner)? Thanks in advance Joe
