I hate to be the winner on who's been waiting longer but 344 days here. Will be a year soon. Never got RFE.

Yes it’s actually day 389 now 

Hey guys, hope everyone is doing well! Sadly it’s day 384 for us and we have decided to file a lawsuit in order to get an answer...one idea about the delay is because my fiancé had a green card in the past and this confuses immigration...so the lawyer suspects our file is just sitting on a shelf. Although I didn’t really want to have to go this route, it appears to be the only option in order to get an answer...and then we can move on with plan B if need be. Good luck everyone! 😊

It took me and my fiance 13 months. I know people who filed at the same time who are still waiting.

Yes, been over a year and still waiting...I would file earlier rather than later. We had no idea we would run into such delays

thing is, since you dont know WHY, it could hold up a cr1 in the same way.

 

thats frustrating for sure. 

Exactly...so we would’ve run into delays either way

have you placed an inquiry? Assuming your timeline is correct, you are far outside normal processing times. 

Yes, every avenue has been explored...inquiries, congresswoman., Ombudsman...going to pursue a lawsuit since it’s been so long

takes longer for a cr1 than k1 lol

For us unfortunately the K1 is taking longer than a CR1

I agree with the CR1...waiting for the K1 has been a nightmare for us so definitely do the CR1!

Hi Junie's! I'm checking in because I wanted to thank you all for the information and support. 

 

Alex had his interview yesterday and we're approved pending medical (He had his medical on the 20th!).  We're anxiously waiting for his visa to book his ticket to me AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

 

Thinking and hoping for you KBA. UCSIC really is the most ridiculous place ever.

 

John and Rose you look amazing and so happy! I'm thrilled for you.

 

Everyone else -- the pictures and happiness are incredible. I'm just so full of love and joy right now for me and Alex AND you all.

Thank you 😊 Just got back from a visit and can’t believe we’re still waiting!! No updates at all...just the same thing about security checks still pending and my congresswoman’s office gets the same. Being in limbo this long is crazy and I hope to have answers by the end of the summer

Been waiting a year and it is insane 😭

Thank you so much! We are 1 step closer finally after a year of waiting. @KBAjust be more patient, you will receive your approval soon. We are here praying with you. 

Well, it’s been 365 days since my NOA1 so I think I’ve been pretty patient 😉 I just hope this doesn’t drag on too much longer, it’s frustrating

Congrats everyone. I dont come on here much but it's nice to see everyone is getting their happy ending. My fiance and i are still waiting for his interview to be scheduled. This wait is agonizing. It's been over a year since our noa1. I really wish we would at least know when he can have his interview. It's horrible waiting so long.

What seems to be delaying the interview?

Congratulations @John & Rose and Godspeed to you on your CR1 journey. 

 

And congrats @garylenhall for finally getting your NOA2!!    So exciting!

Thank you! I think I’m officially the last one waiting!!!

It looks like acceptance of Canadian Cr1s doesn't take that much longer than the K1s. See the link below:

 

http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/k1list.php?cfl=0&op1=&op2=&op3=&op4=1&op5=5,6,8,10,11,13,14,15,16,17,18,20,21,22,25,26,27,28,108,110,111,208,210,211&op6=All&op66=All&op7=Canada&dfile=No&adv=0

 

Either way he qualifies for Express entry into Canada, and that process is under 6 months, so either way we'll be together. Our wedding is on August 4th and at this pace I just can't see the NVC processing the case, sending it to California USCIS, them fixing the error, sending it back to the Consulate via NVC and then the consulate inviting me back for another interview... all in six weeks. 

I’m sorry to hear about your situation! This process has been unbelievable and I cannot believe they didn’t send you an RFE for this while the case was still at USCIS! My fiancé and I have been waiting a year for NOA2 (telling us security checks are still pending) and we have talked about whether switching to a spousal visa is worth it...but will start the clock over again 😩 especially when th the security checks. Good luck and I hope things work out!

We already marked 1year and 5days from filing up to this date. 

And got received an email from UsCIS that there is still no update since they received our response for the RFE. 

I salute you @KBA for being so optimistic in this entire process. 

Sad truth, we have nothing to do but wait and have faith that sooner or later we will get throug this. 

Ugh, how long has it been since they received the RFE? I received that same email with the “no update” message. Hoping we both hear something soon!

Hi Junies,

 

One more straggler crossing the finish line of the K1 visa process. 

 

After making POE here in Ohio on March 26th,  my fiance and I finally tied the knot yesterday, June 14th...with less than ten days left on the K1 Visa   Phew!  

 

And I finally received my SSN on May 30th, more than two months after applying for it on March 27th. No idea why it took so long.

 

You guys on this site kept me going through some really dark times and I'm very grateful for that. To anyone still waiting, hold on and keep holding on because sometimes, it really is darkest before the dawn.

 

@KBA

 

My heart goes out to you, dear!  Kudos for keeping a positive outlook, you've been an inspiration to me, more than you know.  My thoughts and prayers will be with you until your Visa Journey comes to a happy end as well. 

 

Now, presenting Mr. and Mrs. D and T

 

 

 

Congratulations on your wedding! 🎉 Thank you for the kind words...I have some dark days too and sometimes feel completely helpless in this process...but eventually it will have to come to an end one way or another...right?!? 😊

Just dropping in to see how everyone is doing. 

 

What's the gossip? @KBA have you got anything yet? 🤞

Ha! It’s getting pretty quiet around here lately, no fun gossip haha! I’m still waiting unfortunately 😭 and no updates at this point...considering what plan B will be 🤷🏼‍♀️🤔😱

I would certainly hope it wouldn’t take that much longer! We’re just trying to have a rough timeline as to how much longer we’ll wait before implementing plan B...I think it’s our way of keeping sane!

I dont know wether to laugh or cry. I love your optimism and your good spirits. You are an example to many.

Thank you! Depends on the day whether I laugh or cry...my fiancé thinks they will just continue to delay us with the excuse of security checks instead of just giving an RFE or refusal. I don’t even know what to think anymore...and I don’t know that eventually switching to a spousal visa will make a bit of difference. So frustrating! 

Happy wedding day @John & Rose!! 🎉🎉🎉

@Martin3517 when is your fiancée interview? 

@Kari & Atti any updates? 

Nithing new to reprt here unfortunately...think we’ll give it another year MAX then go with a plan B if still not approved
