What is the date entered on the entry stamp ? This is the last day the visitor can leave 

It's been 3 weeks, 28 october

We would like my fiance extend his stay by one week but do you think it's a problem because CBP asked to read his ticket return and put the day of return on his computer? My fiance came on esta and has normally 90 of authorized days on the territory.

Thank you

You can invite anyone you want, but you can't declare someone qualified to live in the US.  The hard fact is that EVERY petition MUST be scrutinized by human eyes.   USCIS currently receives 2 times as many I-129fs per quarter as they are processing.  The queue is still growing.

To be honest, the Utah Zoom Marriage has made the I-129f a very distant 2nd place option for many, if not most, seeking marriage-based immigration.  The initial process time of a CR-1 is generally the same as a fiance visa, but results in an immediate Green Card. 

 

I agree that the immigration system is broken with no light at the end of the tunnel. 

I saw now the CR1 is faster than the K1, the process of the application takes only 10 monts and for the K1 15 months.

Do you think time process will increase after december?

This petition will expire at USCIS.  

This petition will expire in UCIS.  The best cure is to marry and spend A LOT of time together before interviewing for a spousal visa, imo.

I don't understand, why many people get approved with 3 days meeting and other denied when they spend many times together?

They are not obligated to look at anything brought in on the interview day.  This is why we here at VJ encourage those from high-fraud, high-risk consulates to "front-load" the petitions with quality evidence when filing.

Thank you that's mean the co read well the package before interview

I ask to understand if the co check it before interview, does the co take decision based on the package or more with the proofs the beneficiary bring with him at the interview?

Thank you

Why do you think it's long 5 weeks? i thought one month or 5 weeks it's normal time.

In addition, immigration aspects aside:  "Marry in haste, repent in leisure."  The better that you know each other, the more "bona fide" the relationship will be.  Only time spent together in person can reveal to both of you how genuine the relationship is.

Thank you, they ask the proof we have met during the interview?

What do you consider as an lenght relashionship for K1 visa?

Is it an obligation to be with a person during a specific time to be approved?

thank you

Maybe the processing time will began decrease at the end of the year like in December.

Remember that I-129F is also used for K3 spouse.  The USCIS report does not differentiate between I-129F for fiance and for spouse, so we can only speculate that many of those denials are for the K3 spouse petitions, which are almost always denied.

 

Why do they deny K3 spouse?

Thank you

Thank you, thats mean for a march filler for example, when would be the date of approval of NOA2?

Thank you

Do you think they will keep increase the processing time next year?

In the USCIS website the processing time just changed from 13.5 months process to 14 months. Do you think processing time will keep increase?

you can get the last 10 years through the I-94 website "travel History".  For the other 5 years I pieced it together through old calendars, social media photos, etc.  Just do it to the absolute best of your ability.  

https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home

Thank you, its about travel history in other countries like Europe, Tunisia

How do I get travel history for the past 15 years since I no longer have my old passports and can't remember the dates of my trips more accurately. Is it a problem if i dont have exactly the day of the travels?

thank you so much

Why it can take longer?

Thank you

What are the reasons why some people get DS-5535?

Thank you

OP meant just for the I-129F.

I don't think it is possible it would be so long, i'm reading the timeline of members who got approved currently and it didn't not change since the average time is 13.5 months. I remember it's become 13.5 months in march 2022 and it's still not changed. And the goal of USCIS is to increase the time of processing I-129 to 6 months before by the end of 2023. I think the time will begin decrease in march 2023 or little before.

You mean 26 months for the whole process, until the interview or just for the I-129?
