That's intentional. The context in my original post is just a hypothetical scenario based on generic circumstances that assume the petitioner did everything perfectly on their end. That's it. 

How do you know she would have been approved regardless though? Don't plenty of k1 visas get denied?
 
That amount is quite a lot. Pretty Interesting.

I'm aware of that but just to stay focused on the topic. Do you think there's a lot of prejudice and bias involved in the decision-making for visas?

Just curious if this has an impact. I noticed a trend. My (at the time ) fiance went to interview for a tourist visa twice on different occasions a few years ago, and the officers who interviewed her were white Americans who didn't speak the native language of the country at least during the interview, but once she went for the interview for the fiance visa, she had a guy interview her who came from the same cultural background and spoke the native language with her during the interview and she was approved. I do understand that most US consular officers who work in a particular country likely would speak the local language as it's typically a requirement for the job, but oftentimes their language proficiency may not be to the same level as native speakers who may also work as US consular officers at the same place. So it's easy to be a little biased or even prejudiced and discriminatory due to cultural differences or language barriers that may occur during the interview. Now fast forward almost 2 years and my (now wife's) mother goes to interview for a visitor visa (once again her mother is not a native English speaker but is interviewed by a white American woman and the interview is totally in English) and her mother is denied a tourist visa. Now I wonder if the outcome would be different if she was interviewed by an officer who is of the same ethnic/cultural background and speaks the same language. It just seems wildly unfair when things like language barriers aren't well taken into account. I understand translators and interpreters are available, but evidently, they don't really do enough to solve that problem.

I'm not acting like it was... it's just that sometimes the process for a lot of immigration stuff can be a little bit confusing/complicated. I think most people can agree with me on that

The other people in line adjusting is what taking time.
 
You will have to submit biometrics, USCIS will conduct a background check. Then there will be a long break. Then Immigration Officer will review your file, issue RFE or decision OR call you for an interview, then make a decision. Then USCIS will order your Green Card to be produced. Then it will be shipped to you.
 
On the positive side, I would NOT believe anything USCIS Tier 1 officer says. He or she must have made up 2026 so you don't bother them. It'll probably take between 1 and 2 years. I'd expect 2024 or maybe 2025 the latest. But you can check with fellow members of VJ to see how quickly cases filed around the same time get approved.

Do not include any fee. Include the receipt (NOA1) for your I-485 to show them it’s a concurrent filing and as such, there’s no fee for I-765.

If you forgot few pages on i-765 that is the problem, just send the complete form and no fee.
i-765 is free when file aos for k1.
1225 if for i-485 and biometric.
