WAIT Time for K-1

[MrJones3 0]

Hello all

i filed a K-1 visa for my fiancé who lives in bogota Colombia in August of 2018.  I live in America.  Have the wait times been extended because of the immigration issues? We are still waiting and I have an attorney who sent it and filed it.  Also I moved last October and forgot to update my address, do you think that has something to do with it ? 

 

Thanks

If you don't do a proper change of address how are they supposed to get in contact with you, via the attorney, or by magic? Personally, I would bet on magic first.  Check out this USCIS link:

Welcome to the party. You win the prize if you think that adjudication times have become extended due to a myriad of issues at the Department of Homeland (In)Security, The prez has ordered ICE and CBP to round up folks by the score, from the undocumented coming over the southern border to illegal egg-farm workers in places like Minnesota, it is called "enhanced enforcement." Additionally, there is an over one (1) million case backlog in cases pending in the immigration court system. Oh and finally, the workload at USCIS has also exponentially increased, resulting in USCIS shifting workloads and files all over the country. So, in a word, USCIS needs

That’s why I have an attorney,  so they can get in touch with him if they can’t reach me.  I’m looking for average wait times now nothing more

No, that is not normal.  There is something wrong.  Recent petition approval wait times are even faster than last year, with many being approved less than 4 months.  Have you really let it get to over a year before looking into it?

Not updating your address is an issue as correspondence from USCIS can not be forwarded.   Call USCIS

Change of address does not affect the "approval timeline".

 

Thing is .. you may have been approved months ago and not know it.

No. I filed it through an attorney so I usually just call him

No.  He said I would have gotten a letter from UCSIS with it.  I just recently asked him for a copy

Dude.  You need to own your process.  No attorney can be paid enough to care about it the way you should.

Which means what exactly?  Why wouldn’t they contact my attorney? Makes no sense
