I am trying so hard to stay positive through this whole process but today I feel like all is hopeless. Somehow I got to talk to a tier 2 representative and he told me that they are working on July 17th petitions. Although they said this about a month ago as well, that is not what upset me. The man then told me that once they get to my case (July 19 submit, July 23 NOA2)"probably next week" that it then takes about 30-45 days to hear anything back. I was under the impression that once they started working on your case, it went fairly quickly. In 45 days, that will be 7 months.....and who knows if I will receive an RFE or not. Sorry for complaining.....it's just that sometimes people who are not going through this process cannot fully understand the frustration.

Anyway, this was mostly just an update for those who want information. Also I have a question. When they say they are working on July 17th petitions, it that the NOA1 date, or the date it was received?

Good luck to everyone

*** Thread moved from K-1 Process forum to USCIS Service Centers forum -- topic involves processing speed of a service center. ***

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

I contacted the Senator on December 20th (5 months almost exactly after NAO1). Im not sure if it helped or not, but I will say that if it didn't, it is a huge coincidence to have received the NOA2 so shortly after. Good luck!

As stated in other threads, CSC K1 approval times are now 7 months, which is the national norm.

I'm 4 days from 215 days or 7 months, so I pray I'll hear something soon... :blink:
