I-129F Petition Processing Times

U.S. K1 Fiance Visa Petitioners must first file their I-129F Petition and all other supporting documentation with the USCIS Service Center assigned to their specific state of residence. Our extended work hours, unique experience, and exclusive practice of K1 Fiance Visa Law, translates into quicker preparation and turn-around time for your case. In fact, most petitions and accompanying documents are prepared and sent to our clients for signatures within 48 hours of receiving completed questionairres and all checklist documents. Our customized software and e-Center also allows us to send you and your fiancee everything you need via email for your final review, printing, and signatures. This is extremely helpful for many third world countries where the mail (even express services) is often unreliable and slow.

*Please note that these processing times are for the USCIS I-129F Petition for Alien K1 Fiance Visa approval only. Once you are approved, your petition is forwarded to the National Service Center for further processing (allow at least one week) and then sent to the appropriate foreign consulate for continued processing overseas (see below for more on consular filing). 
                              

Foreign Consular K1 Fiance Visa Processing Times

While there are a number of uniform requirements and laws that each foreign consulate must adhere to, most have their own unique way in which they handle the K1 Fiance Visa process. Thus, timeframes can vary depending upon factors such as specific foreign consular section agendas, visa application backlogs, or any unique requirements of the U.S. Consular Section at your fiancee's country or place of filing.

Generally speaking, once most consulates receive your approval from the USCIS, and assuming your fiancee has the properly prepared paperwork and documentation, you can expect to wait between 3 to 12 weeks for the eventual interview and issuance of the K1 Fiance Visa depending upon your fiancee's country.
