If they keep this current pace, I see processing may throughout June as a possible thing.

Weird a bunch of RFESs came in today. Usually Saturdays are solely for RFESs or withdrawals. This is the most I seen on a Saturday.

 

74000: 2 RFESs (2 new / 0 in progress)
74500: 3 RFESs (3 new / 0 in progress)
76500: 2 RFESs (1 new / 1 in progress)
78000: 1 RFES (1 new / 0 in progress)
78500: 2 RFESs (2 new / 0 in progress)
79000: 1 RFES (1 new / 0 in progress)
79500: 8 RFESs (7 new / 1 in progress)
80000: 3 RFESs (3 new / 0 in progress)
81500: 1 RFES (0 new / 1 in progress)
05/28/22: 23 Total Updates: 23 RFESs

 

March (0) + April (23) + May (2) + June (2) = 27 total RFESs

Hey so all applications are sent to the dropbox in Texas. From there they allocate the files to the correct center. Currently the California center is the only center that does K1 visa. So you are in the right place. Now you just have to wait to hear back. As for the time process after..... it depends on what country your application is will be processed at. Some countries are processing things in 1- 2 months other are at a year plus.

April's best week ever. Hope it continues this week as well. Inquiry date is currently March 7th, 2021. We did have quite a few done in the chart with RFEs on Saturday, so hopefully they continue to focus on April before moving on to May (and also go back and work on March). 

 

 March 2021 still has 127 who haven't heard anything and 159 who have turned in their RFE and are still waiting as well.

What makes it worse is that now they are making us wait another 50-60 days for an inquiry and they changed the terminology on the Processing Time to 80% of the cases will have an estimated wait of 13 months but put some other bulls*%t there to make it sound as if they are really trying.

I know! When I applied it said 4-6 months. So I ran out and got a way overpriced wedding dress because I didn't have time to shop. Started contacting wedding venues. talked to my friends and family abut dates.. and then nothing.... nada . So then we thought it has to be soon. So we both quit our jobs and met up overseas to wait it out.. Nope.. So now I'm working travel gigs so I have the freedom to fly back and forth.. Freaking so upset that there's nothing we can do but wait..

Expect to wait another year after uscis approved your case, there are long waiting in NVC and embassy and medical examination and interview phase

[zedag 61]

that entirely depends on your embassy. we're in Colombia and visas process here in 1-2 months
