Question about processing the k1 visa app?

[educator_71 22]

My fiance and I have never been married, never had children, and have clean criminal records. Assuming that our forms are filled out correctly, will this possibly speed up the process for approval or denial, or will we still fall in that 5-8 month processing time. Just curious. Thank you guys for all the advice I've received on this site. By the way, when I filled out my profile, I put I am immigrating from the Philippines, but it's my fiance Jane that I hope to bring from there. Thanks.

It depends on where your petition gets sent to. TSC or CSC. However, as Jane is coming form the Philippines, you'll get through the process much faster than other couples. I can't remember the reason why but beneficiaries from the Philippines get processed quicker.

Good luck on your journey.

Since she is in the Philippines, the processing time is much shorter. If you have no RFEs and get all your documents in order then she can be here in 4 months or so. Filter the timeline to just see visas for the Philippines and you can see how long others have taken. Of course it can take longer if you are not aggressive with your preparation, and there is always a chance of delays during processing. Try to be ready for the next step before it starts. While you are waiting for NOA1/2 you should be getting documents ready for medical and interview. The guides and advice on VJ are very helpful. Good Luck!

None of that will have any effect on the process at USCIS, nor the embassy.

Once you get things filed with USCIS pop over to the Philippines forum and say HI!

Not all applications from the Philippines are expedited. There are a number of people in the forums from the Philippines who are waiting just as long at TSC as everyone else. The reason for the expedite was Typhoon Yolanda.

Many people have no red flags, previous marriages, or children. This does not affect the timing of your application. You join the line with everyone else and hope that you're one of the applications chosen for expedite. Plan on anywhere from 4-12 months.

Good luck.
