    If you look at the number of cases received and the number process per quarter on USCIS website, you'll see that they're processing fewer ROC's than they receive for the last year and a half or so.  The backlog has been growing.  I would say 1 year on the fast side and 2 years on the slow side.  Thankfully, you're already here in the US, together with your spouse and with the extension letter, you shouldn't have any other problems.  

    We are looking forward to getting the 18 months extension notice.

    Salut hi !!!

    The process of removal of conditions definitely takes more time than a simple AOS, after exploring a little bit I can tell that people get their status approved from 12 months to 24 months ....

    I really believe that it also depends on which center the packets are sent to. Having a packet complete and well organized will make the process easier for the immigration working on the case.

     

    Yeah, super crazy. We will be probably sending the citizenship application as this is still processing. :(

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Posted

    Hi, I just want to share our interview experience. (We are a same sex couple).
    Interview date : September 21, 2016 at 7:40am
    As the petitioner I decided to go to Ecuador to be at the interview with my fiance. I think that was the best decision I have ever made. the interview was so hard that I was losing my hope.
    We got there around 7:00am (we wait until 8 am outside).
    I guy came out and ask the beneficiaries name and then he asked (who are yo) I said the petitioner "we are a couple" then he said ok "go to security with this ticket.
    The security lady did not say "Hi or Good morning" she goes like "do you have a cell phone) we said YES she said take them back home and come back. I was like ####### we are going to miss our interview if we do that. (before they used to put the cellphone in a lil box and when you finish the interview they return the phone to you). I called friends to see if they were close by. After all (we decide to ask an stranger who was offering his services for passport photos to hold our phones and we will pay him something. at that point I was like I prefer to lose 2 iPhones and not the interview. (so we thrust him - but he was nice he gave us the phones back and we paid him $20 bucks) thank God he was honest.
    Inside they asked for the ticket and they let us in into a waiting area (green Chairs)again a security point. Another security lady asked us to take everything out from our pockets and I asked her "should I take the belt off too" and she said very rude "I said things from your pockets" and then she look at the other guy and she said in Spanish "IS MY SPANISH not understandable" she was mad Ecuadorian by the way. I was looking for her name to report her attitude but I completely forgot after all.
    We sat and wait for like 45 minutes a very kind Latina Ecuadorian lady called us and she asked for PASSPORT, 1 PASSPORT PHOTO, THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE and MEDICAL EXAM and also a couple questions like ** Where and when we meet, how long we been together, how many times I went there to visit my fiance she asked me to tell the months and years. then she took my fiance's finger prints and she said Please have a seat somebody else will call you so we sat again.
    After around 25 minutes a Man called us to a window and he said "I'm going to start with the interview. Note: I was married before(petitioner)and he start asking me question about my last marriage" I was like #######" I'm here to talk about my fiance and our relationship not about my last relationship. anyway I decide to answer.
    Question for Petitioner:
    How long have you been married
    Where did you meet your ex "smh"
    Do you have kids with your ex
    Where are you from
    Did you get your citizenship through your last marriage
    why you get divorce
    you and you ex used to live together
    is your ex from Ecuador
    why do you want to marry him
    how long have you been together
    when / where did you meet
    when did you start your current relationship
    how many times have you visit your fiance (explain dates)
    why you want to bring him to the US if you can come en visit him
    give me a copy of you divorce
    where do you work
    what do you do for living
    why do you want to move to US you can't be with him here? "we said no because of the discrimination that exist".
    what kind of discrimination are you talking about? can you explain
    have you ever submit a petition for somebody else before
    where is you fiance going to live?? "stupid question"
    how many years do you have in the US
    Question for Fiance
    Where and when did you meet
    have you ever been in the US
    have you traveled to another countries
    what do you do for living
    where did you work before
    how old are you
    how old you fiance is
    are you single
    did you applied for a VISA before? he said YES
    why did you put in that application that he was your friend and not your fiance.
    why did you lie about it
    so you signed the application and you put a lie about your relationship
    how many times did you apply for a tourist VISA "3 times in less than a year"
    why did you applied so many times for it
    how many times your fiance came to visit you
    and some more.
    At that point I was so ###### tired of the question that I decide to tell him "listen we can not be here together" I want to marry him and live him in the USA.
    He was like thinking and thinking looking at the pictures once twice
    looking at the paper work "he had the originals that I sent to USCIS".
    then he said YOUR VISA HAS BEEN APPROVED. HAVE A GOOD DAY
    I was like OMG thank GOD this is over
    we were so happy.
    he gave us back all the original paper work that we send to USCIS.
    on Friday September 23, 2016
    my fiance received a phone call from the Consulate
    they asked him to go back on Monday September 26, 2016
    because the system did not save his finger prints and they need
    to take the finger prints again in order to print the VISA
    finally he went there and everything was OK
    now we are waiting for the visa.
    For me it was not a good experience starting from security and then brunch of question that he made some of them stupid.!!
    but we got approved I hope this experience can help to others if you applied for a VISA before the interview GET READY they will pull out all the old applications to ask you WHY this and that. get ready with an accurate answer.
    Good luck..!!!
    Sorry about some typo I'm working and doing this at the same time

    My fiancee had a very similar experience. I (the petitioner) have been married before, my marriage was very short lived and my husband passed a year after we got married. This was a long time ago.

    We are a same sex couple. They really were having all this questions related to my previous marriage than to our relationship. My fiancee was very unconformable and since my husband had passed way so long ago it was an awkward exchange. They really made her feel that since I have been married to a man that there are things suspicious about out relationship. I find that very discriminating, and I felt we were targeted for it. She is fine and we are not complaining much since it was all approved and she is here with me. Maybe, I shouldn't complained and this process shouldn't be completely seamless and our case was red flag for extra questions because of the factors. I understand there has to be a vetting process. It is just not nice when the questioning is a bit much.

    We are ready to move on and will be starting to plan our wedding for November!!!! This is the most beautiful dream :luv: . I am SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IN LOVE. I am just :wow: about it. Never thought I was going to fall like this for someone. She is my world. (L)

    Good luck to you guys.

    Congrats girls!

    Just want to complain a little lol! I keep checking the ceac website and my status is still on AP since 16/09 and I'm scared that it lasts forever lol! We didn't wait enough in the K1 process apparently haha! Patience is not my best quality xD!

    Angie,

    Check my timeline also the consulate did not let us know the status of the visa after been issued!! No tracking no nothing... My baby is home as of last night. We booked a flight a few hours after it was delivered for the next day under $600 dollars. So crazy! and if you guys need to save some money and want to see lots of flight options check out Kiwi.com It is really the best site I have used for tickets ever, and I have travel some... I would tell you to relax but that didnt work for us when we were told to chill LOL

    Sooooo we got APPROVED today!!! And I'm so super ecstatic!!! :D It's such a nice feeling of relief, I can't wait for the rest of you guys to feel that lol

    I wrote a review for the interview process that you can read here: http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/index.php?trim=no&cty=&cnty=&page=1&dfilter=5&topic=

    But OF COURSE do not hesitate to PM me with questions if you want :)

    Also, I asked the CO about this whole "issued" thing cause it's seems to be the talk of the day lol he did tell me that the "issued" status on the CEAC website meant that the visa had been printed on the passport and it was leaving their offices. Sooooo for anyone waiting for forever since that "issued" status, I would not only try to contact the Embassy but mostly the post office! They might be to blame for that!

    GOOD LUCK GUYS :star::thumbs:
