Statistics and waiting times.

[Cacolina 0]

Hi everyone,

 

Adam (US/NYC resident and sponsor) and I, Carolina (resident in Spain, Madrid) filed our K1 visa on September 15th 2025 and got notified on September 17th 2025 of its reception at the Texas office.

 

We never got the NO1 to NO2 notification from the Texas Office we were expecting in January.

 

We have had no news from USCIS since September 17th of 2025. No petition of amendment, fingerprints or anything has been requested from their side. Just silence.

 

We found this website (visa journey) in January 2026 and we have been checking the waiting period statistics every week since then. 

 

Last week statistics showed that September 9th 2025 applicants were receiving their NO1 to NO2 notification. This week it jumped all the way back to August 1st. It had never jumped back more than a month. Anyone knows how this data charts work?

 

Does anyone follow this statistics as well and know if they are reliable?  Is anyone out there in the same situation? Waiting for a supposedly 10 month visa that is now 16 months or more? Is everyone's K-1 also being dailed one month...every month?

 

Every month since January the statistics have been pushing the waiting period a month further. This uncertainty makes short term and long term professional, family and personal planning stressful and impossible.

 

Thanks to everyone out there helping each other in this silent process. 

 

Kind regards,

 

Adam and Caro

To my knowledge, the statistics here on VJ are based on the members that fill out their timelines.  Unfortunately, not all members utilize that function, so the group that makes up the statistics can be small.  That being said, it looks like USCIS's posted processing time estimate is about 10 months for an I129F, so you are still in the window and hopefully will see something soon.

 

Good Luck!

A friend of ours who we helped file his K-1, had his received on July 31, 2025 and it just got approved a few days ago. Waiting is super rough, believe me I know but hang in there, it'll come.
