Hey everyone I am a April filer and new to Vj, I know the process will take some patience but I want to hear your opinions. Do you think we will see January approvals next month??

I am excited to have finally filed so I can be back with the love of my life, I cant wait to be done already even though I just started. =D

*** Thread moved from K-1 Process forum to USCIS Service Centers forum -- topic involves general timing of processing. ***

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.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.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

If you're at CSC, which I assume based on your state, then I would think it's highly unlikely. They just started doing July/August again :(

I am the USC/petitioner.

Our K-1 Journey
12/19/2012 - Mailed I-129F via USPS Express
12/21/2012 - I-129F arrives in Lewisville, TX according to USPS tracking (delayed because it's the USPS)
12/21/2012 - NOA1 date of receipt
12/26/2012 - NOA1 received via text/email
12/27/2012 - Checked cashed by USCIS
12/31/2012 - Alien Number changed (NOA1 hardcopy in post, but was away for 2 weeks prior)

05/16/2013 - NOA2 received via text/email

05/20/2013 - NOA2 hardcopy received in post

05/28/2013 - NVC receives packet and assigns London case number

07/15/2013 - Sent all paperwork/medical complete

08/23/2013 - Receive Interview Date

After seeing all those November and December approvals a few days ago, I was hoping but then again they did skip a few months. It's hard to know what CSC will do next though, they have been all over the place.

Keeping my fingers crossed for them to get through remaining of 2012 so they can start on 2013 ASAP. =)

I wouldn't be surprised if there are January approvals next month, at the moment CSC is approving from July to December and everywhere in between, so anything is possible if they keep their recent trend.

AOS+EAD Sent 8-9-13

AOS+EAD Received 8-13-13

EAD NOA1 8-13-13

AOS NOA1 8-15-13

AOS+EAD Biometrics 9-17-2013, Walk-In 8-29-2013

EAD Approved 10-15-13

AOS Interview 12-18-13

E-REQUEST 2-3-14

INFOPASS Appointment 2-12-14

AOS Approved 2-24-2014

That would be awesome!

I think it's better to expect a longer wait otherwise we'll just be disappointed.

We will have to see what May brings, im crossing my fingers that the January approvals will start to roll in.

Also, I was looking through Vj and found this:

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/expedite-processing-i129f-petitions-meet-current-government-processing-goals-5-months/rp6yP4Jw

I signed it, it wouldnt hurt to help out and get us closer to have something done about the delays.

I think we'll likely see a mish-mash of approvals over the next 2-3 months. Sure they need to concentrate on the backlog but I'm sure we'll see just enough quick approvals to keep the average processing time from creeping over the new 7.5 month target. Hopefully there will be some January approvals in there (we are January 15th) but I'm not counting on anything happening until later in June so I don't get my hopes up too much!
