Why would petitions be approved at different times?

[simario25 0]

I sent in my 129F in October and have noticed that some others who filed with the same service center for the same embassy Brasil have received their 2nd NOA slready and I am still waiting. I have not hear from the service center so In am assuming all is OK with my petition. However now that I have seen that others have received their 2nd NOA ahead of me I am a little bit concerned. Can anyone shed any light on whether I should be or not. Also con anyone give me a clue as to why mine would take any longer, neither I nor my fiance have anything shady in our pasts, andI made sure I dotted all my i's and crossed all my t's before submitting. Also wondereing whether I should call service center to inquire. I filed In Californis and it has been over 100 days since I filed. I am simply just to worried?

You have posted this in the K-1 forum and your profiles indicates K-3. Are the I-129F petitions approvals that you have noticed processed ahead of yours for K-1 or K-3?

You are not alone. I am right there with you, wondering and waiting.

MY profile should be K1 and the others that were processed ahead of me were K1 alos. Thanks for the heads up. I will go ahead and correct my profile.

I am in the same situation. It makes me wonder if I have problem with background check or they simply lost my file. Really, I am worried very much also.

Every case is different and each service enter works at different paces. Comparing your timeline to someone else's does no good. Viewing the averaging time lines here on VJ is just an average and is dependent on people correctly filling out the information which doesn't always happen. If you are beyond processing times for your service center posted on the USCIS site, you should contact them. Otherwise it would be a waste of your time and there is no reason to worry.

If you have received your NOA1 and you can see case status online, it's extremely unlikely they lost their case. More likely, they are backlogged and lost some time due to the holidays.

I just checked on the USCIS page for my case status and it has changed. They mailed me a request for additional evidence and or information sometime today. I can't imagine what it might be. I was very thorough with the paperwok i sent them and neither my fiance nor I have anything shady in our past. Whatever it is they are requesting I hope it does not delay the process another 3 months. Anyone have a similar experience they can share which will give me a clue as to how this is going to proceed. Stach32 you might want to go to the USCIS site and check on your case the link is https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/index.jsp. Any info or input is appreciated. Thanks

Just send them what they need once you receive the RFE - your case will be approved shortly after they receive it and process it. . . that's how it usually goes.

Thanks kitkat!, I sure hope it goes as smoothly as you make it sound.

Thanks Stach, but if what kitkat stated earlier is correct then getting an RFE won't be so bad and it will just cause a slight delay. I'm going to remain optimistic about it and I suggest you do the same concerning yours. I'm sure everything will work out OK. Best of luck.
