I am so thankful that I am finished with USCIS for now. Hopefully AOS goes quicker than the K1 process. At least my fiancee will be here while we wait.

USCIS knew they were going to be hit with a mass number of filings but did nothing to prepare for it, other than to raise their fees. What a joke!!

I hear you, Jamie. The sooner you get out of that mess they have there, the better. Good luck.

So are both of these articles directly affecting K1 & K3's then?

I see it is for green cards & naturalization. This is all handled by same department of homeland?

Thanks
