Average processing time for CSC K-1 Philippines visas

[Grant PDX 183]

Folks, I get bored and I love to play with numbers so the timeline tables are my Nirvana as I await the CSC adjudicators. So I played around a bit with the info and thought I'd share a few interesting points (well, interesting to me, but I could be the only one).

I just did a quick sort on the timelines and looked at the last 50 posts sorted by NOA 2 dates, only for K-1 visas filed for Philippines beneficiaries going through CSC. Excluding all petitions that had RFEs noted, the most recent 10 assigned NOA2s were 145 days after NOA1, the next most recent 10 were 165, then 153 and finally 145. Average for the period was 151 days, exluding RFE'd petitions. Small sample size but they are going as fast now as they've gone in that period of time. The 9 RFE'd petitions during that time averaged 185 days. So it definitely pays to get a complete petition together before sending, as it seems to save, on average, about 3 1/2 weeks.

Another intresting point, that is likely skewed because of how information hits the tables, but interesting nonetheless, is that the last 50 NOA1s listed cover 4 1/2 months worth. The previous 50 cover only 2 1/2 months. So (although again there is some skew) it seems there are fewer going in now, which might indicate it COULD speed up since the pile may be shrinking? It seems I read somewhere that the petitions increase in the summer.... might be hope for winter filers.

Ok, interesting to me anyway. Cheers.

Couldn't agree with you more about having a complete and accurate petition. My CSC processing took 142 days. Hang in there and Good Luck.

Thanks for your research. I sent my K-1 application on Feb 1st, 2012.
