I decided to take my own statistical jab at the USCIS data, as others have. I think it was the worth the effort and I found some interesting things to highlight.
Since the K-1 process is already depressing enough, I will start with the most negative findings and work my way up to the positives (The Ugly, The Bad and The Good) and try to end on a positive note.
I decided to stick w/ raw numbers and not graphs. The one thing I find very bizarre is the volatility of the forms processed per month at both the CSC and VSC and I wanted to put some figures together to show just how bizarre it truly is.
Here are the 3 charts (I-129F CSC, I-129F VSC, and I-8219 DACA CSC), and below are my explanation of the the stats and my findings ...

Explanation of derived stats:
==========================
Pro-rated March 2013 for DACA ... Since only the first 14 days of March 2013 were available for DACA, I decided to pro-rate the data for the month of March rather than throw away the data. Reallize though that this March 2013 DACA
data is an approximation, not real numbers.
Column G - Backlog (number of forms). This one is simple. It is the previous month's Pending work carried forward to the first of the month. This is presented for the following month so we can show how much backlog (total work) there was to be worked on at the start of the month.
Column H - Current Month, Projected Completion (in months). This is the most telling figure, in my opinion. This column essentially says ... "Hypothetically, if no new forms at all were received from this month onward and the service center only worked what it had in it's backlog at the rate it worked this month how long would it take to finish the work?"
Column I - Average Rate, Projected Completion (in months). Similar to Column H, this column asks ... "Hypothetically, if no new forms at all were received from this month onward and the service center only worked what it had in it's backlog at the monthly rate it worked on average, how long would it take to finish the work?" For I-129F, the average is over the last two years Feb 2011-Jan 2013. For DACA it's Sept 2012-Mar 2013 (pro-rated).
Column J - Maximum Rate, Projected Completion (in months). Similar to Column H, this column asks ... "Hypothetically, if no new forms at all were received from this month onward and the service center only worked what it had in it's backlog at the highest monthly speed demonstrated, how long would it take to finish the work?" Again, for I-129F, the average is over the last two years Feb 2011-Jan 2013. For DACA it's Sept 2012-Mar 2013 (March prorated).
Column K - Versus Goal (in months). Shows how far ahead/behind the service center is of reaching it's National Service Goal, working at the speed it's working this month. Positive numbers indicate they will likely complete work ahead of time by X months on average, while negative numbers show they will likely complete work behind schedule by X months on average.
Column L - Ahead/Behind (number of forms). This stat is helpful because it shows whether the processing center gained (positive) or lost (negative) ground when looking at the forms finished during the month as compared to the forms received that month.
================
The Ugly:
================
DACA - This is wonderful news for DACA petitioners and very disconcerting news to us at CSC or VSC. According to the USCIS website, I-821D DACA has a 6 month National Service Goal. Yet, CSC seems to process its DACA forms at a 3 month rate (H25-H27 DACA, green) and a 2-month rate for March prorated (H28 DACA, blue)! Considering the enormous amount of DACA work, why are they finishing 2-3 times ahead of schedule?! What are they trying to prove by working so fast, when no one ever has waited anywhere close to 6 months for a DACA? This is a huge question to ask.
VSC - You will notice the backlog numbers are generally higher at the VSC and reached a maximum of 18,898 (G22 VSC, dark red). For folks who have sufferred at the VSC, we can see that, for whatever reason, historically VSC has carried a larger backlog than the CSC and that the VSC folks have paid the price with longer waits, up until Jan 2013 where they have probably turned a corner based partially on these Jan 2013 figures and what we've seen on VJ.
CSC - These numbers are really troubling. In this data (H25 and H26 CSC, red) we can see that the CSC was shockingly slow working K-1's in Dec 2012 and Jan 2013. If the CSC worked at its December 2012 pace indefinitely to finish it's K-1 backlog, it would take 20.11 months to finish the work. If the CSC worked at its January 2013 pace indefinitely to finish it's K-1 backlog, it would take 19.04 months to finish the work. Notice these figures are worse than any anemic single-month pace at the VSC (VSC's worst was 15.5 in July 2012). This is a worst case scenario, but it's conceivable many people would wait 15-20 months now from NOA1 to NOA2, four times the service goal, if CSC puts forth its worst effort indefinitely.
================
The Bad:
================
VSC - The VSC got way behind in May 2012-July 2012, falling more than 900 forms behind each month (L18-L20 VSC, light red)! It is really good thing the VSC turned things around in the last 4-6 months or they could have reached a 20k form backlog - easy.
CSC - Notice that in May 2011, CSC was working on a pace to complete it's backlog in 2.78 months (H6 CSC, salmon). And about the time that VSC was very bogged down, CSC was working on a completion pace of 3.34 and 2.99 in July 2012 and Aug 2012, respectively (H20-H21 CSC, purple). So why is this bad news? Because it warps expectations. We have probably all heard from friends "oh yeah, so-and-so went to through the CSC and it only took 3 months!" prior to filing a K-1 at CSC. This shows that, intentional or not, the USCIS are the ones manufacturing the drama with such wild variations in completion figures per month. The numbers show that if USCIS could just stabilitize and produce at a steady pace, they could easily do the work in 5 months instead of subjecting people to a 3 to 11 month crapshoot. Wouldn't you rather just wait the 5 months rather than risk waiting 9-11 months?!
The Good:
================
DACA - The USCIS did indeed get bombed with DACA forms from Sept 2012 - Nov 2012 (almost 100k per month), but receipts now seem to have stabilized at about 30k per month. The DACA work has lessened and should in theory be quite manageable now by the USCIS.
VSC - The good is certainly the 4,439 completion number from Jan 2013 (C26 VSC, purple). In that month they really worked ahead of the National Goal for the first time and cut out a huge chunk of backlog. We'll see what the Feb 2013 and March 2013 numbers say, but perhaps the VSC backlog is a thing of past and it's finally down to a 5-month waiting time, if not a little sooner.
CSC - The good news is that, as of Jan 2013, our backlog is really not that bad - 10,929 (G26 CSC, grey). If they turned around and started processing at an average rate they could be caught up in a little over 6 months (I26 CSC, blue). If they really attacked the problem at their previous monthly maximum, they could make sure every K-1 waiting any amount of time from today backward is served within 3.1 months (J26 CSC, brown)! This proves they don't have to move Heaven and Earth to serve us and solve the problem at CSC, they just simply need to increase output to what they've demonstrated before.
I have to be a little fair to the USCIS though and realize there are many kinds of USCIS forms out there and resources are constrained and there's bureacracy, inefficiency, etc. So a modest goal, would be to have CSC and VSC would be kicking out their K-1 Visas at a 5 month rate, following the National Service Goal and column K would be as close to zero as possible). After all, most of us probably saw the National Service Goal of 5 months and the other figures close to it when we filed at CSC. Longer than I would prefer to wait? Certainly, but it's what I got when I signed up.
Oscillating between 3,525 per month and 484 per month at CSC is just madness. If they want to keep people from going ape about the CSC for a few months and then things being super hunky dory in a few months, all they need to do is work at their maximum pace for a single month to weed out those waiting too long and then drop back to their average pace to serve at approximately 4-5 months from here on out.

If the father is a USC he will file a report of birth abroad and the child will travel to the US as a US citizen no need for an I130. However that will increase your family size for the affidavit of supoprt, plan for this. Your mother would need a visitors visa to travel to the US. She would apply for it on her own , they don't give visas to help with children. It is unlikely she will get a visa as she has to prove that she has strong ties to Nigeria. She is not allowed to work on a visitors visa ( caring for a chld is work )

I chose to email our form letter to the Ombudsman office and I sent a personal letter to the Director. I sent the email out Sunday and received a response this morning. I would like to copy the exact response here but there was a big warning at the bottom of the email response that said I need to get permission to forward the email.
Here is the content of the email:
The CSC processing time has slipped due to competeing agency priorities. CSC is currently shifting resources to address the I-129F. As resources are assigned the CSC expects the processing time for the I-129F to be reduced.
Guys,
Keep up the emails, keep up the letters, keep on writting your senators and congressmen. We are faced with a huge political battle and we are "David" in this battle.. Pressure,,Pressure,,Pressure is the only mechanism that will help us prevail. I beleive CSC is feeling that pressure now.

since you are in AP, I suggest is data error.

How can the child brought into US without his/her knowledge can be spitting into your face?? Just because he/she grew up here and would like to work legally as opposed to us bringing foreign fiancees (including myself) while there are plenty of american women?? Why this should be a priority over DACA???

Gowon ! Congrats !

Adding - make a copy of all you sent to USCIS and ICE and mail to the U.S. Embassy in Ghana - consular section. They could tie it to his record so if/when he petitions for the wife? and child they have fraud indicators listed.

Before he figures out that you know , print the phone bills and emails. Make more than one copy, send one to USCIS one to ICE keep one. Divorce him. If you don't he will file against you and he who files first has the most control over the outcome. Don't stay in a relationship with the idea of revenge. If he has play acted this long to get "his family" to the US play acting a little longer will not bother him and you will be setting yourself up for a fake fight, getting arrested and him filing VAWA on you. Do not forget to change passwords and remove/close all accounts he can access before he knows the jig is up or he will empty them first.

I'm literarily shaking as I can't beleive this stroke of good luck.
I feel for those that are still waiting and who were in line before us but this is also my second go at bat as we had a K1 denial before.
Onto the NVC stages.
May we all be rejoined with our loved ones as soon as possible In Sha Allah.

Hahaha that's how I feel today and u know I'm sooooo happy I feel like I will get my NOA 2 this month lol I dnt know I just have this feeling we will all be accepted this month yeyyyyy

please avoid interjecting politics into this thread. if you wish to discuss politics, feel free to visit the http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/145-politics-and-religion/ forum.
thank you.

First I would like to thank the Almighty God for approving the Visa for this man that I love very much. Secondly, my fellows visa journey brothers and sisters for all the help. My special THANKS to Mtcmk1 and D'haiti20. They were always there to answer any questions that I had. My baby will be picking his visa up on the 4th of April. (L) :dance: The last time I was that excited was when I gave birth to my girls..I love you all and thank you for everything for the first part of this joruney .
For those who are waiting.. Do NOT BE DISCOURAGED because I wasn't when I sent my package with just the money order and the application. I was told by many members here that I will be rejected. But instead I got an RFE for everything. Never give on anything that you love... (L)

So who's going to post it on the USCIS Facebook page

Technically a ring and proposal is not needed and a letter of intent settles it. However, some embassies do want more proof
and therefore my advice is to have something in mind before the interview. We see too many refusals and lack of bona fide
assumptions to deal with, even with hundreds of communication logs, to not consider a ring receit and photos of an engagement for certain embassies. The flip side being engagement parties being mistaken for traditional weddings.
Find your embassy specific mojo ! One size does not fit all !

Weird tangent rant? What is weird about it? What i said in my last post is factual. Issues which still exist to this present day. And an important part in how immigration came about.. the start of immigration that made it what it is today. This is relevant to the topic of this forum post. When asking people in the forum if it is worth it, surely it is about asking everyone their thoughts on the matter. Discussing the process of immigration and how it has changed over the years is the basis of importance for what it has become today.
The factors i mentioned play a part of this, in changing America to what it is today. Including the political views, and law of immigration and its process.
I would like to share "The following talk was given by Mahtowin Munro, a member of the Lakota Nation and co-leader of United American Indians of New England (UAINE), at a Nov. 18 Boston Workers World Party forum entitled “The Struggle for Indigenous sovereignty and immigrant rights.” (taken from http://www.workers.org/2006/us/native-immigration-1130/) that really sums this up:
"I am going to be talking about immigration tonight from a North American Native viewpoint. Many of us who are Native to this country have been outraged as our sisters and brothers from Mexico, Central America and South America have come under increasing attack by the right wing.
We are deeply alarmed by the existence of white vigilante groups such as the Minutemen, and by the stated intention of the U.S. government to build a wall separating the U.S. from Mexico.
As Indigenous peoples, we have no borders. We know that our sisters and brothers from Mexico, Central America and South America have always been here and always will be.
The immigrant nation that is the U.S. has a short memory and is in denial of its historical facts. This government is descended from immigrants who came here and took our lands and resources, either by force, coercion or dishonesty, and banned the religions, languages and cultures of the original Indigenous peoples of this continent.
In the various discussions of so-called “illegal immigrants,” one historical fact is always overlooked: America’s own holocaust directed against African and Native people, carried out by uninvited foreigners who came to these shores and took everything they could.
Surely the deaths of tens of millions of Native and African people at the hands of marauding, manipulative European immigrants during a 400-year span should be worth bearing in mind.
U.S. history brims over with brutal, bloody instances of inhuman European immigrant actions that are far removed from the basic aspirations so often associated with today’s immigrants. The undocumented workers today in this country dream of a better life and seek to escape the poverty and repression engendered by U.S. imperialism.
Unlike the earlier immigrants and the perpetual forces they set into motion, I highly doubt that today’s immigrants are plotting to seize others’ property, kill babies and earn bounties based on body parts brought back from raids.
Consider that, in the late 1630s, the British wiped out nearly every man, woman and child of the powerful Pequot tribe of southern New England in retaliation for conflicts arising out of fur-trade struggles. A few years later, Dutch authorities in charge of the settlement of “New Netherland” on the island of Manhattan carried out nighttime raids against the local Indigenous people, where infants were torn from their mothers’ breasts and hacked to pieces in the presence of their parents.
Legislation approved in Massachusetts and elsewhere in New England in the 1700s authorized bounty payments for scalps or heads of Indians, young and old.
As it turns out, the immigrant authorities were just beginning their efforts to obliterate “the savages,” as American history chronicles.
Some of the best-known names in American history are dripping with prejudice and arrogance aimed at Native people. Not only did Thomas Jefferson—a holder of hundreds of Black men, women, and children—live a life of ease on his great plantation as a result of that slave labor. He also was convinced that the best solution in dealing with Native peoples was to drive all of us west of the Mississippi.
The war-hero president, Andrew Jackson, was one of the most despicable Indian-haters on record. He made no bones about his racism and championed the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which forced the Cherokee and other southeastern Native peoples from their homes and caused thousands of them to die on the Trail of Tears to Oklahoma.
The 19th century in particular is rife with accounts of the foreign intruders’ invasions of Indian country, especially in the Southeast and West, and the carnage that resulted. The December 1890 Massacre at Wounded Knee of over 300 unarmed Lakota children, women and men by the U.S. Army is perhaps the best-known of what were countless massacres carried out by the immigrants and their army.
The wholesale abuse of Native peoples continues to this day, and it springs from the same destructive capitalist practices that were brought here by foreigners long ago.
As I listen to some people call other people “illegal” immigrants, I often wonder: How could it possibly be that their ancestors were considered to be “legal” while so many immigrants now are considered “illegal”?
These comparisons between past and present miss a crucial point. So few restrictions existed on immigration in the 19th and early 20th centuries that there was no such thing as “illegal immigration.”
For instance, the government excluded less than 1 percent of the 25 million European immigrants who landed at Ellis Island before World War I, and those mostly for health reasons.
We begin with a simple fact: We Native peoples had no immigration policies. When the Europeans began arriving and stealing our land from us and massacring our people, we did not have them take a citizenship test. We did not have them pass through Ellis Island. We did not have quotas for how many could come into the country.
So, when did the U.S. begin to have immigration policies, and what were those policies?
For many years, whiteness was the prerequisite for citizenship. The first naturalization law in the United States, the 1790 Naturalization Act, restricted naturalization to “free white persons” of “good moral character” once they had resided in the country for a specified period of time.
The next significant change in the scope of naturalization law came following the Civil War in 1870 when the law was broadened to allow African Americans, whose ancestors had been forced to immigrate here in slave ships, to become naturalized citizens.
During the 1800s, male Chinese immigrants were excluded from citizenship but not from living in the United States, because their labor was needed by the big railroads. Female Chinese immigration was severely curtailed. Congress in 1882 passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, which was a virtual ban on further Chinese immigration. The Chinese immigration ban was not repealed until the 1940s.
In the early 1900s, Japanese immigration was limited as well, but the Japanese government continued to give passports to the Territory of Hawaii, where many Japanese resided. (At that time, Hawaii was not yet a U.S. state.) Once in Hawaii, it was easy for Japanese to continue on to settlements on the West Coast, if they so desired.
An 1882 law banned the entry of “lunatics” and infectious disease carriers. After President William McKinley was assassinated by a second-generation immigrant anarchist, Congress enacted in 1901 the Anarchist Exclusion Act to exclude known anarchist agitators. A literacy requirement was added in the Immigration Act of 1917.
During the 1920s, the U.S. Congress established national quotas on immigration. The quotas were based on the number of foreign-born residents of each nationality who were already living in the United States.
In 1924, the Johnson-Reid Immigration Act limited the numbers of southern European immigrants. Italians were considered not “white” enough and an anarchist menace. The numbers of Eastern Europeans were also limited because Jews, who made up a large part of those leaving that area, were not “white” enough and were considered to be a Bolshevik menace.
I should mention that we Native people were “naturalized” and “granted” citizenship by the U.S. government in 1924.
In 1932 President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the State Department essentially shut down immigration during the Great Depression.
In 1952, the McCarran-Walter Act revised the quota system again. This act removed overt racial barriers to citizenship but solidified inequalities. Most of the quota allocation went to immigrants from Ireland, the United Kingdom and Germany who already had relatives in the United States.
This law was also particularly aimed at preventing socialist, communist or other progressive immigrants from entering the country. The anti-”subversive” features of this law are still in force.
During all these years, the entire Western Hemisphere, including Mexico, was exempted from immigration regulations. That changed in 1965 with the Hart-Cellar Act, which abolished the system of national-origin quotas.
A last-minute political compromise introduced, for the very first time, quotas for Mexico and the rest of the Western Hemisphere. This law racialized “illegal aliens.” A hierarchy of those deemed worthy and those deemed unworthy of becoming an “American” became increasingly deeply rooted.
Several pieces of legislation signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1996 marked a turn towards harsher policies for both legal and “illegal” immigrants. These acts vastly increased the categories for which immigrants, including green card holders, can be deported. As a result, well over 1 million individuals have been deported since 1996.
In short, the notion of “illegal aliens” is a construct, an invention of the racist U.S. ruling class. The dominant powers for centuries codified Indigenous, African, Chinese and other people as essentially not “American.”
The revolting use of the word “illegal” as a noun is a linguistic way of dehumanizing people and reducing individuals to their alleged infractions against the law.
I do not have time tonight to discuss the details of the economic and social conditions created by U.S. imperialism and neoliberalism that have forced our sisters and brothers from Mexico and many other countries to come to the U.S.
The United States is the true culprit in this situation through the robbery of the Mexican people, which began with the theft of their land and has continued with economic policies like NAFTA, which have destroyed the economy that sustained thousands of families, forcing them into exile and particularly into emigrating to the U.S.
As an aside, I want to explain what I mean when I say that the U.S. government stole land from the Mexican people, because this is rarely discussed in school or anywhere else. First of all, the land of course belongs rightfully to Indigenous peoples. Later, the various colonial governments claimed territory.
The “Mexican Cession” is a historical name for the region of the present-day southwestern United States that was ceded to the U.S. by Mexico in 1848 under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo following the Mexican-American War.
The cession of this territory from Mexico was a condition for the end of the war, as U.S. troops occupied Mexico City and Mexico risked being completely annexed by the U.S.
The United States also paid the paltry sum of $15 million for the land, which was the same amount it had offered for the land prior to the war. Under great duress, Mexico was forced to accept the offer.
The region of the 1848 “Mexican Cession” includes all of the present-day states of California, Nevada and Utah, as well as portions of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming. Note that the United States had already claimed the huge area of Texas in its Texas Annexation of 1845.
So we see that the U.S. literally stole millions of acres of land from the Mexican people, then established arbitrary borders such as the Rio Grande, and now hunts down those who dare to cross those borders.
The U.S. government has now escalated its war against the Mexican people, whether they are in Mexico or in its Diaspora, by approving $2.2 billion to begin construction of what is to be a $6 billion apartheid wall between the two countries.
At the same time, massive raids are being carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a branch of the Department of Homeland Security. In cities across the country, ICE is trying to push immigrant workers further underground and scare them away from organizing and fighting for their rights.
Local and state governments, most notably in Pennsylvania and Arizona, have been passing vicious anti-immigrant legislation. I just read on the Internet the other night that the Bush administration and the Justice Department now claim the right to hold any non-U.S. citizen indefinitely, without the right to a trial in a civilian court.
In recent years, we have also seen how attacks against even documented immigrants, particularly Muslims, have been carried out under the guise of “homeland security.”
So all in all, there is a calculated attempt to create a thoroughly intimidating and threatening climate for immigrant workers, especially the undocumented.
Further, racists continue to push their “English-only” campaigns and to oppose bilingual education. I feel outraged by these “English-only” campaigns. Is English the Native language of this country? Generations of Native people were beaten for speaking their Indigenous languages and forced to learn English. Instead of English-only, maybe we should be insisting that people speak Mayan or Cherokee or Wampanoag.
Well, things were looking pretty bleak for a while. It had appeared that the capitalist ruling class and its representatives in the U.S. government had the upper hand completely, and that the mass struggle was dormant.
But then came the magnificent immigrant rights demonstrations of last spring. These were led by workers from Mexico and Central America and South America, but they were joined by Caribbean, Asian, African and other allies. This development shook the ruling class. It frightened and deeply worried them. It gave a glimpse, even in the midst of periods of reaction, of the crucial struggles that are on the horizon.
Step by step, day by day, this movement will grow. The government can pass anti-immigrant laws but those laws will be repealed in the streets. It was the earlier heroic struggles of immigrants in the U.S. that led to the historic International Women’s Day as well as May Day. Without a doubt, immigrants will make that kind of history again.
Let’s ask some basic questions here: Why does the U.S. need immigrant workers? This country depends on immigrants being the most exploited workers, the ones who work in sweatshops and keep the luxury hotels running.
Without immigrant labor, the economy would collapse. So why the witch hunt? To drive immigrants further underground and to manipulate this reserve army of labor. The corporations want to super-exploit immigrant workers. They just don’t want to be responsible for paying them the value of their labor or for providing benefits, services and basic democratic rights.
The corporations and the government are using the anti-immigrant legislation to mask the truth about the crisis looming for U.S. workers and the huge financial debt of the government.
This criminalization is also aimed at the rising tide of change developing throughout Latin and South America, from Venezuela to Oaxaca and Chiapas, a tide of resistance like that of the people of Cuba to U.S. global policies.
Capitalism thrives on the scapegoating of certain groups of people, which they use to try and divide us as workers. They want to keep us divided amongst each other because they want to prevent us from uniting to fight back against their bloody-handed system.
This is not the first time that immigrants have been scapegoated. Irish immigrants of the mid-1800s were vilified. During the 1800s, Chinese workers in the western part of the U.S. were subject to the most virulent racism, including lynching, and endured the most brutal working conditions.
From World War I until the 1920s, the government conducted anti-Jewish and anti-Italian reactionary attacks, including the Palmer Raids. Former President Theodore Roosevelt and many other prominent citizens of his era proclaimed their fears that the Anglo-Saxon was an endangered species due to immigration and to higher birth rates among the immigrants.
On the West Coast, Japanese immigrants were interned in concentration camps during World War II, and there were widespread police attacks on Chican@ youth in California during the same era.
The current attacks against immigrants must be seen as attacks on all workers. This current assault on immigrants is just another tactic—like racism, homophobia and sexism—that the ruling class uses to pit workers against each other. The only winners when this happens are the bosses."
Many will argue this has nothing to do with this forum topic. However after following comments on here regarding fairness and its balance, everything is connected to immigration and makes it what it is today. Furthermore, its an interesting quote i found that i felt like sharing!

Email your congressman. Why is everyone so complacent? They are understaffed?? Really? Then they are wayyyyyy over-funded. With all the fees they are raking in, they need to get better management to address workload processing, which includes using those funds to hire more people. Simply saying that they are understaffed is only playing USCIS apologist.
That being said, if the OP would like me to post what I sent (a general complaint letter, since I am only 111 days in and can't really start moaning about my own case, yet... I am mostly outraged for July and August -- and now September -- folks). We all need to whine and moan and complain. Only by voicing our outrage will things ever have any hope of changing. Stop making excuses for a federal agency that is failing in its mandate.
Sorry for the rant....

not yet, but I believe it will soon.

Dwheels....ur husband is approved already evidence or no evidence

I don't have anything to hide. Having worked in the government, the type of greasy wheel I am talking about will not "suffer" as you seem to indicate. I am not sure what USA you live in.
What is with everyone telling us to leave the US and go wait it out somewhere else? What is wrong with you people? You sound like those freaking "love it or leave it" people. If you have the luxury to leave your job (or maybe you don't have one) then rock on, but stop telling the rest of us to do that. The way you get things done is by staying on top of your case.

if your timeline is accurate,
then you have great chance 'to do nothing' and let the I-129F petition expire.
You stay in the UK, walk away from this lass.
Sorry for yer plight, but is good you learned of it before you applied for a visa with the IV Unit in London.

LOL... I think i found my answer to my own question. It states that we shall paste or staple the photos to the ds 156 form.
http://travel.state.gov/visa/visaphotoreq/visaphotoreq_5334.html

I don't think being "democrat" or "republican" has anything to do with it.

Woo Hoo! It doesn't matter, necessarily, if K1s aren't moved. It matters that workload is moved, so CSC can get back to K1s.

Communicating being difficult with time difference, I totally agree. But wether the op and her fiancé talk often or not, wether he cheats on her or not is not really the main problem here.
November till now. Almost 3 months. Taking a huge amount of time to gather papers and send them over to your fiancé means taking 2 weeks to do so. This is a huge amount of time, but there can be an explanation.
3 months??? No way. Once you sent it, the petition takes 6 months to be even just looked at by someone. It takes something like 8 to 12 months to get a visa. If you love someone enough to marry that person, you do everything you can to be with that person. AND most importantly, you don't do anything that will make that person be sad, or suffer. You certainly not put off something for 3 months when it makes your loved one suffer and feel like you don't care.
LoveHim35, do not settle for someone you won't take care of you. Don't settle for someone who won't treat you as the most precious thing in the world. Don't settle for someone who makes you sad. You deserve better. I almost settled for someone I was unhappy with once, I was very much in love with someone who wasn't and made me suffer a lot.
I left him, even though I was still in love because I knew he was bad for me.
Not even a year later I met my fiancé, and I have never been so happy.
You deserve happiness, do not waste time and find excuses...

First of all, congrats on the approval of your wife's visa.
Since your wife will be immigrating to the US with an IR1 or CR1 visa (and therefore will be LPR), it would be a better option if you let your wife file for her own daughter as a LPR or as when she get her US Citizenship.
