I had told him not to expect anything til at least mid-summer, so he was pleasantly suprised.

When did the visa come through? Recently? Did the time span you mentioned cover the entire process from the beginning starting with filing the 129F, or only after approval of the 129? For about three months earlier this year, hardly any 129's were processed, so I would be really surprised if the three months included everything, and I'd like to know how they expedited things.

This is the time from when he filed the 129F til he got notice of its approval. She is now waiting on her packet from Moscow. And he didn't do anything special and just filed it himself. Title: Okay--129F approval, not K-1 visa approval/Website for CSC Info Post by: Scaught on May 10, 2003, 04:00:00 AM ... in response to Re: Re: for those waiting, posted by Stan B on May 9, 2003
Thank you Stan for the clarification. So it wasn't three months for K-1 approval, it was three months for 129F approval. Here is a helpful website for information on 129F processing at the California Service Center http://members.aol.com/MDUdall/cscjit.htm It is updated about every two weeks. It publishes 129F timelines. It was updated just a few days ago. The latest update says that at the CSC, 129F's are now taking about two and a half months. They are speeding up. Within a few more months, new 129F cases should take less than two months at CSC to approve.
