fiance from China

Is it true that fiance's petitions from china take longer because of the US wants to slow down the amount of petitions from that country. I read this on some other site and have yet to find it again.

Not for the US approval. Not sure about between NVC and the interview. I hope not.

Hi Tom,

I am not sure about if they are trying to slow down the number of petitions. It is possible there are more obstacles in the background checks with China than with other countries or it takes more effort with getting background checks in the more remote areas. From the stats 2 to 4 months is very common in getting the NOA2. It is so hard to say because there were others that have a similar timeline as mine and some got their NOA2 before me, some after me. Then I see there are still some waiting. Vermont does seem to be taking longer than California. It sure looks like the USCIS is processing at a fast rate now. My NOA2 came only after 76 days from the NOA1, I think according to the stats it is 121 days for the average. My petition did not get a touch until when it was approved. Maybe a background check was initiated when the NOA1 came through and then it was only a matter looking over the petition and bam it was done.

No, I don't think so either. We received our NOA 1 on Feb. 25, and our NOA 2 on July 7. My fiance and I are still waiting for our first information packet. I don't think the slowness is on the US side, but rather over here in China, while our file goes through customs, and then all the paper work and the interview, etc. Guangzhou is infamous for being a tough consulate for K-1 though... my hands get sweaty just thinking about my Sweetie's interview.

No. Just no.
