Thanks for sharing. My fiancee is coming up next month.

My case was approved April 12, I have not received any letter yet or an interview date. Anyone knows the waiting timeline for Kenya? Hope it wont take too long. Hope you get yours interview case soon.

finally after 522 days my NOA got approved. Anyone knows who i should call bout NVC package. How long before I receive anything in the mail? Is my fiancee going to receive anything in the mail?

Finally got text from USCIS. RFE has been mailed

Just an update. I finally received a letter from my senator saying that USCIS will respond within 30 days. I really doubt that they will respond within 30 days which means they should respond by 4/3. Someone mentioned that they do respond soon after the senate office is involved so will see.

I don't know where Circa is. And I don't think country of birth has nothing to do with my delay. Just curious what you have in mind with the country of birth and where my beneficiary is from. A lot of K1 visa that applied after mine have been approved already from where my beneficiary is from. So I don't think the delay has anything to do with country of origin or where my beneficiary is from.

Jadegreen: Thanks for your reply. I'm loosing hope since its over 400 days already. I just faxed my senator the immigration assistance form today. I'm hoping that she will help but at times I think it will not make any different. Its just feels hopeless to talk USCIS. I have been thinking of plan B, but at times i hold back thinking that I will get a response like tomorrow, and that response from USCIS has not come. Very frustrating.

No it is not. I have flown in and out of the country for business and vacations without any problem.

It has been 14 good months and not 2 months. Yes I have moved and I changed my new address with USCIS and they have confirmed of my new address in their system. I can also get notified via email and text. Refiling will only make the wait much longer. Asking them to decide on my case, will be an automatic denial. Never felt so helpless and so mad and frustrated. If only I could know exactly what's causing the delay.

I have even talked to USCIS and they said that my file is not lost except that they are waiting for the background check to clear before they can move forward. I really doubt that its my name or my Job title or the country that I came from.

It has been a miserable. Not knowing when this will come to an end. I will try one of my senators and see if this is something that they can help with. Thanks for all your inputs.

I am frustrated beyond words can express. Just wondering if there is anyone in the same boat. I received my NOA1 back in 11/07/2014. I have been waiting for NOA2 or RFEs in vain ever since. I have made numerous case inquiries to USCIS, and the responses have been the same annoying generic response. I even had my congress representative follow up on my behave. And the response she got was just as generic as the ones that I have been getting.

The response in part reads "USCIS is committed to adjudicating immigration benefits in a timely and efficient manner while also ensuring public safety, national security and compliance with all relevant directives. While the processing steps for most applications or petitions are completed quickly, a small percentage of cases involve unresolved issues that may result in adjudication delays... We are unable to determine at this time when the review process for the petition will be completed. USCIS will issue a decision on the petition once certain issues are resolved. We are striving to resolve these issues as soon as possible."

Now I'm turning to the Visa Journey community again for any advice/opinion/suggestions. FYI, I am absolutely 100% sure that I have no criminal background whatsoever. Maybe a speeding ticket back 2005.

I have been waiting for my NOA2 since November 2014. Talking of frustration, hopelessness, powerless, angry, mad and the list goes on. I feel like steam is coming out of my ears. I involved my congresswoman last month and still, USCIS has not responded to her inquiry on my behave as to what is going on with my case. Got advised from my congresswoman's office to wait for another week (30 days from the day she filed for inquiry) before she takes other measures in order to get a response from USCIS. My case was filed in CSC.

My take on this part of the government is to overhaul, 100% personnel replacement and put people that can do the work. This is just frustrating.

I didn't think of involving a congressman but now I'm going to. It's a WAC, so CSC. Which should have been much sooner than other locations. And there is no red flag at all that I'm aware of or should be concerned about.

I have been waiting for 9 months going 10 now. If you need some patience, let me know I will lend you some . Been waiting for NOA2 since November of last year. I have called and opened service request 3 times with USCIS thus far and I always get same answer or response that they are still doing background check. I'm just hoping that it wont be much longer.

So hang in there, maybe yours would be approved much sooner. I'm sure that these cases are unique and thus treated differently. I don't know why mine is taking this long or what's causing this much delay.

six weeks late, still waiting for the "pending security checks". this is driving me nuts as to why/what could be causing this to take so long.

This is tough and I really feel for you. There are red flags all over from your fiance that you shouldn't/must not ignore. "not loving you anymore" "not wanting to hear your complaints (your genuine concerns. And you are not even married yet???) " "not working and living with his mother". "wanting to have a baby asap" wow... this one makes my stomach crawl. You are setting yourself up for major disappointment and failures. I've to admit that I could be wrong because I don't know both of you and don't know anything about your relationship. But from what you have shared with us, I would say that you really need to way your options. Marriage can wait. You can reapply. You have a good job now and maybe a promotion coming up soon. Just my 2 cents. You have one life to live, and yes mistakes are inevitable but avoid those that you can. Good luck

Get a good lawyer to advise you. You would be glad you did. And you won't have to go back to your country. Talking through first hand experience.

I called UCIS about 3 weeks ago and open a service request to inquire on my application for K-1 visa for my fiancee and I received a response that they are still doing my background check. I filled in November 2015. Does anyone know how long the FBI background check takes. Can it take longer than 7 months. Below is the actual response...

"We have placed your case on a processing hold because the required security checks remain pending. Until we receive the results of these security checks, we cannot move forward on your case. We require the results of security checks before we make a decision on any pending case.

We cannot predict when we will receive the results of these security checks. Please be assured that we will make every effort to make a decision in your case as soon as the security checks are complete"

Too many red flags too much drama. Run and never look back.
