VisaJourney Estimates

[WaliG 1]

Whenever a timeline is updated, at the bottom VisaJourney gives you an estimate as to when your petition would be adjucated. How accurate were your estimates to your actual date for your Fiancé K-1 Visa?

Please be aware that the estimate on your timeline is a very general INITIAL estimate......it will change day to day as more people update their own timelines with approval dates.......good luck.

I think the last time someone ran numbers on this, about 40% of cases were adjucated within +/- 1 week of the range given in their VJ estimate.

 

If timelines are generally getting longer or shorter, I suspect the VJ estimates will be less accurate than when they're fairly constant. That's currently the case (though fortunately they're getting shorter, not longer).

I would suggest that the timeline estimates are to be taken with a huge grain of salt.  At one point, our estimated time was in mid-November.  We finally received our NOA2 approval on January 15th.  Some folks are lucky, others have to wait.

Hi.  I always wondered the same thing at the begining.  Ours was extremely accurate.  As time progresses & your timeline changes/updates, it becomes more accurate.  That is assuming there are no issues that you have to respond to.  Good luck in your journey.

Thank you so much for the input!

My VJ estimate was about 2 weeks off. Still, if you look at it just as estimate, it's pretty good ball park number.

If you look at the timeline search with details turned on, you can see that the NOA1 to NOA2 has dropped from 180 days in the beginning of January.  Approvals are coming in from 113 days ago and that number is stopping fast as uscis goes through their backlog.   The visajourney time estimate is based on older data.  I would not be surprised if March applicants start seeing NOA2 approvals in June.  Just a few years ago it was taking less than 2 months for that step.

Thank you. That’s good news.

Well that changed. As uscis updated the processing to 6 to 8 months now 💔
