My fiancee and I have been closely watching the historical processing times for the California Center here:

The problem is now they are working on the 9th of June, but ours was opened on the 7th!!!! Is this bad news? Does this mean that they will probably ask us for more documentation?

Thanks!

Well, i wouldn't pay too much attention to it... for the IR1/CR1, they re supposed to work on the 2nd of may, but only one of the april filers got approved...So i don t think it s bad news, USCIS is just going really slow lately...

You have not posted any time line so it is difficult to answer your question. I paid no attention to the posted center's processing times. All it did was depress me. I just waited and after 5 months and 2 days I receved the NOA2 for the K1 visa. That was the average time for processing at Vermont at that time according to other members posting status. The center's posted times were months behind what was actually happening. All I can say is be patient even though it is frustrating...you are not alone. Good luck for your NOA2.

That is just an average date based on other people's timelines. Some take more or less. Don't get upset by it.

Also those dates are not given by USCIS and are not official in anyway (although they are a very good indicator of average time).

The dates and timelines are mostly meaningless (and only generated by those who fill in their timelines here on VJ.) You have to take them for what they are worth, and that's not too much in many cases.

When I first sent my I-129F in mid-April, the "current processing date" for VSC was mid-January, if I recall correctly, and my timeline stated that my petition may be adjudicated in mid-August, or right about now. By late-June, it had moved up so much that it was telling me my petition may be adjudicated in late-May. Now, it has crept forward again and tells me that I should look forward to hearing something between mid-June to early-July (ha!)

If you only submitted your petition in June, you have nothing to worry about at this point, regardless of what the "current processing date" or timeline "may be adjudicated date" says...

Good luck!

Thanks a lot for your information and support!!! I won't worry about it now. We are together right now anyhow and that is a lot more than can be said for other couples in the same situation. See, now I feel thankful!!

I just checked the USCIS time lines and according to the time table, it is currently taking 5 months to process I-124F's. If you filed in June, then be patient. Did you sign up for email notification?

The one thing about the K-1 process is, it is very frustrating waiting for someone to do their job. Everyone that has been through this process goes a little crazy waiting for the papers to get processed. If there was something missing, you would have been notified earlier. Now all you can do is wait.

The best advice is to begin getting your home ready for your fiance/fiancee's arrival. Some deep cleaning, painting and overall maintenance has a way of taking up your time while you wait. Also, look for stores that carry items from your SO's country. That will help later to make them feel more at home. If you have the chance to meet other couples (from America and your fiancee's country) then start making some friends. But, make sure they are happily married couples.

If you can put in extra hours at work for later time off, that would be a good idea too. You want to be able to spend a lot of quality time with your intended after they arrive.

But, mostly learn to be patient.

Yeah, it is hard and I know that I'm luckier than most because I've been able to spend at least some time with my fiancée every month (except this one, but soon!) since January. It would be 1000X worse if we didn't get to see each other at all...

Funny, because I've been doing A LOT of this lately - the deep cleaning and maintenance, at least, but I've suspended all new painting/decorating until after her arrival..

Mine bounced all over the place for months. Unfortunately, while that timeline gives us a LITTLE bit of a guideline or idea, I don't find it the best way to judge.

Take a deep breath and relax, I don't think you have much (if any) cause to worry. I believe that just states that they have begun working on those that were submitted later than yours.

Good luck!
