The K1 Visa processing time on the USCIS website says July 18? What does that mean? will be processed by or wont be processed until?

That is the date of NOA1s they are currently working on as of that update.

According to their site, the USCIS will update the chart you saw around the 15th of each month (meaning we should be getting another update soon).

Anyway, the CSC is not processing applications within their goal of 5 months. Instead, when they updated their page (approximately on January 15), they were processing files from July 18. Basically, it means they are running behind schedule.

I would say at least 7 months. I petitioned at the beginning of August, and I'm still waiting...

They only update it like once a month. Most recent update was February 5th, and that was for the month ended December 31.

I don't understand the USCIS math. When I checked the processing times for I=129F k-1/k-2 on the USCIS website, it indicated 5.5 months for California, 6.1 months for Vermont, but national average of 7.9 months. How can the national average be greater than the average of its components? :blink:

Sometimes, cases are sent to other service centers if there are petitions that out of sudden have more priority (TPS, expedites based on earthquakes etc.) - the workload gets distributed between the centers.

USCIS is far from accurate or transparent with the estimates. In the "average processing time" is also files that for one or the other reason had a decision within 2 weeks from NOA1. I remember about 10 cases 3 years ago. They were from the same month and same service center and they completely screwed up VJ's timeline guestimates since the normal processing time went down from approx 5 months to very few months. It probably looks good for USCIS on their processing time average after that.

K1 process, October 2010 > POE, July 2011

I-129F approved in 180 days from NOA1 date. (195 days from filing to NOA2 in hand)

Interview took 224 days from I-129F NOA1 date. (241 days from filing petition until visa in hand)

From filing I-129F petition until POE: 285 days

Click timeline or "about me" for all details.

AOS process, December 2011 > July 2012

EAD/AP Approval took 51 days from NOA1 date to email update. (77 days from filing until EAD/AP in hand)

AOS Approval took 206 days from NOA1 date to email update. (231 days from filing until greencard in hand)

From filing I-129F petition until greencard in hand: 655 days

*** Thread moved from K-1 Process forum to USCIS Service Centers forum -- topic involves processing times, which affect more than one visa type. ***

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

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).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).
