Why can't the k-1 visa's be processed first come, first serve basis????

It's only fair!!!!

It's always been this way.

From what I've read here, there are various reasons why some are processed quicker than others. Some get expedited and others are adjudicated faster (no hits/no criminal records/previous applications etc.) But some say, it's "luck" that their papers get ahead of others.

they are so unfair to the people who filed it earlier than others!

Aside from the "first come first serve basis" why don't they process it a little bit faster and not just faster but properly looking into the details, they been doing this many times before, so they must know what points in the application needed much attention, if they think something is wrong then go to the next application it might be easier to do it, that way they can have many papers to examine and at least touch every day, well of course many are waiting for their approval.

So if your petition is behind someone with a criminal history, subject to the Adam Welsh act and has a name with multiple hits in every terrorist data base you are going to patiently wait the 2 years it takes to clear his visa because yours in next in line ? Personally I would want the other petition to be sent to the slower than heck pile and mine finished today.

That is what they do. If something is wrong, they issue an RFE and move onto the next case.

If first come, first served doesn't work then we could try alphabetical order. Guess who's name starts with A

LOL thats funny! well, whatever it is, we can only hope for the best. This is the question neither of us know.

Personally for me, the process and the waiting time is not as hard as it seems. What makes it so hard is to be away with your loved one, missing every little thing about them. Who would've complain if while on the waiting period we are with our loved ones? None! And life and love just goes on and on.

They are!!!

Don't you understand that USCIS has a real 5 month backlog of cases?

There are over 5 months of cases in front of yours... Really!

Then I wonder why alot of clean ones still get put behind other clean ones that applied later. I know I have no criminal background or previous application or anything on my record. And unless Jia has been lying to me this whole time I am pretty sure she is clean too. And I am sure there are plenty of others like us with clean records but still super delayed when others jump to the front.

It all varies on many factors that we know and many that we can only guess at.

The hardest part of all this is actually getting your petition in the hands of a living person and not shoved in a box in storage.

Clean backgrounds/no previous applications etc makes it go faster of course. I mean, about a month before my NOA2, the FBI and other government agencies just finished a 6+ month background investigation on myself and my fiancee due to my current job, so I am sure when USCIS searched my name (and possibly NVC as they do it sometimes), it showed said investigation and the "Cleared" by it. So it was very easy to see that I was clean and so was my fiancee.

But in the end, it's the part where you need an actual person to get your file that takes forever.

Not all adductors work at the same speed or have more complicated cases than others and.....need I tell you about government workers?

It is what it is.

we don't have an idea how they do the background checking but all we need to do is wait and take a lot of patience:)
