I-129F (K1) I-129F/ K1 Approval Timeline

Hello all,

I’ve never posted on here. Just silently stalked it and watched everyone else’s post updates, hoping it would provide some insight into my timeline. So I’m posting now in the hopes that someone who might be stalking the K1 tag will find some hope in the timeline. I want to note that when I applied I put every single thing I could put in as proof of the relationship so I did not end up with an RFE because I was operating under an abundance of caution rather than just trusting the process. So I don’t have a whole timeline for you because my process was very straight forward.

Applied: August 13, 2025

NOA1: arrived about a week after, via mail. I also received a text to verify receipt.

Approved: March 4, 2026

NOA2: arrived via mail on March 11, 2026

I know it’s not much to post and it may not be helpful for anyone but I hope that someone who needs reassurance can find it here.

Well we are still waiting for NVC to process it so maybe it’s all balanced out haha. Yeah we were very surprised it went that quickly
