I agree with you, but sadly we don't think the same as the people in Government do (in any country) we see things differently and maybe logically .

Also, if people from the VJ site don't  up date their time line when they get their NOA2 and many don't as you can see from the graphs not showing 100 %  then Igor's list can't show an accurate time line, having said that at least it gives an idea how long the wait might be. which is depressing viewing.....

Great news, this waiting is very hard, I think it is the open ended time line that is hardest for me, if we knew we would have things sorted by X date life would be less stressful. unfortunately government employees just don't work like the rest of us!

Hi everyone, it doesn't help any of us, however I found this in the New York times today.  It doesn't mention K1 visa's but I can't help feel that the same slow down is across the board. I posted it in June files 2 as well.

This is being talked about on May files 2:

https://judiciary.house.gov/press-release/house-judiciary-committee-uncovers-uscis-fails-conduct-background-checks-immigration-applicants/   Source: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/655488-i-129f-may-filers-part-2/?page=66   Thank you for the scans &  numbers, every one approved is one more happy couple and one less file for the USCIS to hide behind 

I looked a few weeks ago and found that the wait time was very much like it is now in 2015 and 2013 around this time, I picked "interview date" as an end time  (pages 439, 547, 797 and 799  were the ones I saved), the long processing  times didn't last so long and I didn't look to see which parts were the longest, but times were high in the past and I know it doesn't make it any better for us at this time, I was just looking for something positive in this whole mess. 

I am looking forward to the weekly numbers and if April & May is any closer to being finished.... ... some day they have to finish them............. don't they?  I really feel for those guys 

As we’re on the same day I definitely don’t want our cases to be coming after day 210. Still we are near but that’s a disturbing trend line for July and later filers. 
 
They should raise fees and hire more people. I would have gladly paid much more for a faster process. 
 
 

Hi Naes, If you could manage a weekly scan on Friday / Saturday it would be great, I like to see that more than the daily scans and as long as it shows 800 + touched cases I am "happy-ish" . at least they are almost matching week for week.  I guess thats all we can hope for, but how the F--ing Hell we are supposed to plan for our future lives and move with this uncertainty is any ones guess! 
And then at the interview we might get asked have you  a wedding date? ......... "NO coz the USCIS took months to do their job, and the NVC had a back log......." etc, etc.  It doesn't sound good does it? ! 
Sorry to rant, a few things have annoyed me today and it is only lunch time here!

It seemed be a few months, nothing like it is now, it would be best if you had a look for yourself, it doesn't take so long, I found it a little bit of comfort to see that it had been that long in the past, but the 50 days from NOA1 to NOA2 shown on the graph on this site seem to me to be an anomaly, like many others I am discussed the random way they are processing the files, I guess years ago before the internet we would never have known, I was chatting with some one in Milwaukee a few weeks ago who used the K1 and she remembers waiting for weeks and weeks and then it was all rush, rush, rush after approval.

As you know, we do appreciate the work you are doing keeping us informed of any progress with cases and give us all some hope.............. it is something that the USICS could do as part of the "service" they supply but I guess it is to much trouble for them

They seem to have touched 300 cases since the 1st of December which isn't too bad when they are still working on May and the remaining April cases. At least they are looking at more cases a day than they were September time.

As we are all trying to deal with at this ridicules wait time we are all going though I decided to have a look back on the VJ site and although it doesn't help any it has been as high in 2015 and 2013 with overall wait times as high as now and in some cases higher, it didn't last to long  and I have no details on why it was high, but it would seem that the 50 day wait last year was unusual, I did some screen shots on some of the wait time and I am interested to know everyone's thoughts

The amount of people both here in the UK and Milwaukee are amazed we drive in Chicago, I don't find it that bad............ parking, now there's the problem... 

John & Rose was my first thought when I saw the Philippians NOA2 come up....  

You're the one my heart breaks the most for.
 
You've been so nice to everyone, you really deserve to get yours ASAP

of course for the next few months we will have the royal wedding to talk about................ I hope the weather is nice for them on the day.......
