I filed the K-1 application on january 22, 2013 and have yet to hear anything since VSC sent me the letter that they recieved my application. I wanted to know if anyone on here had to wait this long to hear if they were approved? I am going crazy because I miss my so very much. HELLLPPPP!!!

I'm not a K-1, I'm a CR-1 but patience is something that wi be tested. I kinda think that they weed people out that way also.I have been apart from my wife for a year and two months with this process. And it looks like i still have a month or two to go. You have to find things to do to distract u from thinking of this process. If u keep busy it will help time move faster.

I haven't received anything either, however, I just visited the USCIS Processing Times page and saw the processing time for VSC was updated to 5 months!!! dancin5hr.gif just a few weeks to go! If I don't get a text/update by the first or second week of July, I'm sending a letter to my rep. Until then *hope and pray* ClockWatch2.gif

I understand your frustration. Today marks 1 month since my NOA1 and this wait has me going crazy so I can only imagine what you are going through especially seeing people that applied after you get approved. Hnag in there and keep the faith. Everything happens on God's timeline and is beyond our understanding. It'll come in due time.

P & K is right! I spend hours and hours just reading on VJ. It has really helped me thru this process. Keeps me from going insane. And once in a while I can help someone out thru this process by answering a question for them and that feels really good. Thank God for VisaJourney and the people here. ALOHA KE AKUA
