Form I-129F Petition Process Flowchart

The document outlines the process and timeline for filing a Form I-129F petition for an alien fiancé(e). The petitioner must first meet and become engaged to their fiancé(e). They then prepare and submit the I-129F petition along with supporting documents to USCIS. USCIS reviews the petition and either approves it, requests more evidence, or denies it. If approved, the petition is forwarded to the National Visa Center who assigns the case a number and sends it to the appropriate U.S. embassy to process as a K-1 fiancé(e) visa. The total average processing time is 1-5 months.
