📅 December 2024 & January 2025 K-1 Filers — Let’s Share Updates & Support Each Other 🙌🏽♥️! (Incluye traducción en español 🇩🇴)
Hey everyone! 👋💌
I wanted to create a space specifically for those of us who submitted our I-129F (K-1 fiancé visa) petitions in December 2024 or January 2025 — just so we can support each other and share any updates as they come in. 🤝✨
💡 It would be super helpful to know:
• 🗓 When you filed and your NOA1 (Notice of Action) date
• 📍 Your service center
• 📬 Any updates you’ve received (Actively Reviewing, RFE, Approval, etc.)
• ⏳ How long you’ve been waiting
• 🙏 Tips, encouragement, or questions you might have!
📌 My case was sent on January 16th, and my NOA1 date is January 21st.
We’re being processed at the California Service Center, and my fiancé is from the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴.
Like many of you, I’m anxiously checking for updates 😅 — so I thought it’d be great if we could stay in touch and lift each other up while we wait!
✨ Let’s keep this thread positive, friendly, and helpful. 💛
Feel free to check in and update your timeline below — we’re all in this together! 🤗👇

my fiancée and I filed our K-1 on December 12th, 2024. Been waiting just over 6 months now but no update yet. ours is at the California service center.

@Kayden Riding Thanks so much for sharing your timeline! 🙏 That really helps.
It’s encouraging to know that even though you filed back in December, you’re still waiting too — it makes me feel like the timeline I was told (possibly hearing something around August) might actually be on track. ⏳
Fingers crossed you hear something really soon, either this month or next! 🤞✨
Please keep me posted if you get any updates whether it moves to Actively Reviewing or you get your approval. I’ll do the same! 💛
We’ve got this we’re almost there! 💪😊

I filed on February 15th and they received it on February 19th. I got my NOA1 on the 26th. Both me and my fiancé are from Bulgaria. I live in the states. 🙏🏻I am really hoping we hear back soon.

On VisaJourney.com they estimated that I might recieve an answer by August 27th-30th based on others details and statistics. I know it’s not 100% but having some sort of information helps my patience lol. Really hoping I get it by then or even sooner. I also haven’t got any request for RFE either and hope it stays that way. Good luck to us all, I hope we hear something soon so we can be with our fiances.

Sent i129f for K1 on January 15th, received letter in mail a week later dated January 18th stating it was accepted. California service center. My fiancee is from the Philippines. Waiting to hear back for NOA2 for 169 days so far. TrackMyVisa estimates NOA2 in late November/early December. I had hoped for July/August. I want her here by Christmas 😢
Stephanie PerezJul 3, 2025
@Tommy McCardle Our acceptance dates a very close mine was January 21st. I have the same hope that I’ll recieve the NOA2 by July/August and that my fiancé will be here for Christmas as well. I was looking at stats on TrackMyVisaNow.com and it’s looking more like we’d get our response in August/September instead (hopefully it’s sooner than predicted). My estimate on VisaJourney.com changed today to September 1st - September 6th 😩. Really hope this process speeds up for us so our dream of having them here to celebrate the holidays with us comes true 🤞🏽. Please keep me posted on when you get your NOA2.

Sending positive vibes and much luck to ya all that none of us get REF’s that will make this loooong process any longer than it already is. Anyone get any updates yet 👀. Any are any of you on VisaJourney.com? If so what are your estimates? I know the estimates aren’t 100% but it’s just nice to have an idea. Please keep me updated 🙏🏽❤️. @Win Den @Kayden Riding @sammy sam @Tommy McCardle @Andy K

Hi Stephanie, nothing yet. There are still 44 cases from our filing date which aren’t touched from last 60 days. They process 80-85% cases from filing day and keep other pending. Our is one of those pending cases. 😪

Hi @Stephanie Perez we filed September 3rd 2024, around May got an RFE, July 24th they received our response now awaiting decision. I guess we just need to be patient 😌 Its over a year now since NOA 1. California center.
