Default I-129F to K-1 Visa - Timeline ONLY!

Hi,

I've been looking with interest at the I-130 timeline thread, but is there a thread on here for the I-129F. We would really like to get an idea on how long its taking to process start to finish ... and of course who better to ask than people who have been through it or are currently going through it ...

I don't believe I have seen a specific timeline thread for the K-1 visa process, no.

Typical timeline is about 6 - 8 months. 4 - 5 months for the I-129F approval, and the remainder of time for the K-1 visa application process.

If you do a little reading on other people's K-1 threads, you'll run across some that have recently completed the process.

Well shall I get the ball rolling, I'm sure there are plenty out there that would like some idea. We've only just started the process so not much to tell yet ...

I-129F Filed - 10th August 2012
I-129F Receipted by the USCIS - 16th August 2012

now for the long wait :/

So be it.

Please keep this thread for sharing Timelines ONLY. If you have a specific question regarding any procedure, forms, medical, interview, etc. please create a NEW thread with your specific question, as it relates to your own case. Those kinds of questions get lost in timeline threads, and takes it way off topic.

Posts in this thread which are not Timeline Only posts will be removed and a new thread created.

Thank you,
Rene

Didn't you send the I-129F to USCIS via a trackable method?

Hi Rene

No he didn't. He is disabled and there was no one to take him to the post office so he just sent it out.
