USCIS Service CentersUSCIS updated the processing volumes and trend

Just FYI, USCIS has published the processing volumes and trend for Jan and Feb 2012

http://dashboard.uscis.gov/

They were so behind in the statistics, I thought they had given it up lol.


Does it mean they are actually processing Jan and Feb 2012 K1 Files?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhat u been doing since you have to wait??????/
Working and taking some yoga courses on my extra time, trying to keep my mind busy! saving money as i'm not going to be working for a few months once i'll be in the USA. Preparing my departure ( sale my car, rent my apartment...) getting papers ready once we receive the NOA2! My fiance is coming visiting me in France for 15 days in May definitely can't wait, we haven't seen each other for 3 months and will enjoy this time spent together while waiting for NOA2!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsThe Mystery of the elusive sealed box
Every petition are different! and we will never get the answer of why some application are being approved after 2 weeks or 1 month! it's the BIG mystery! For sure i think it's unfair for others who have to wait several months to have their NOA2!

Which RFE did they ask you to submit?


They ask for dated pictures and passport stamps thing that i included in the first package the first time but i would say that the person who was taking care of our petition spilled his coffee on it! LOL :wacko:

Someone help me get rid of this negativity! I'm starting to worry about our approval taking longer than 5 months...I've been dead excited to get to July and now I'm nervous that I wont hear anything! I know its such a bad attitude to have, and all my friends and family tell me I can't think like that but I know you all understand the ups and downs of waiting and waiting and waiting on this NOA2!!!



Hang on! It's long and i'm starting to get very impatient to! This waiting is stressful but waiting is all we can do at this point! :bonk:
Let's stay positive!!! B-)

This is what I did as well. If they want more than that (like official documents of engagement), I don't have it either because it was more like a ceremony involving family and friends. Good luck in the rest of your journey. Send them everything ASAP to pevent delays :thumbs:


Thanks Bobbie12! :thumbs:
AurelyaFemaleFrance2012-05-22 09:55:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAny February 2012 filers?

I didn't mean that. Sometimes USCIS rely on official documents released from official organizations, such as churches, as a concrete proof of being engaged to each other. It realy depends on the person who is handling your application. Some may be even bother asking for RFE, while others are so hard and trying to be more accurate than it's realy required.
Send them pictures that were dated recently, the most recent one, not three years ago. They need to make sure that you still have that strong relationship until now at the same rate you showed them through these pictures dated three years ago.


What i did is sent pictures from since we have met and seen each other and included more pictures of us and proof of relationship within the last 2 years as asked by USCIS.
AurelyaFemaleFrance2012-05-22 09:26:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAny February 2012 filers?

Did you submit any proof of engagement along with your application such as engagemnt report released by a church, or any other official documents to show that you were officially engaged, other than pictures and statements?


This is absolutely not required!!! We don't need to have an engagement ring either...! I do have mine so if they need a proof of engagement i have it!

Have you physically been together in the same place within the last 2 years? That is the information they will be looking for. If evidence is date stamped before 2010, then they will need more recent evidence than this. The rules state that you must have been physically together in the same place within the last 2 years.


Yes we did I visited him in May 2011 for 3 weeks, he came visiting me in September 2011 and i came visiting him again for 3 month from November 2011 to february 2012 and he came again visiting me in May 2012 for 2 weeks.

Sorry if this sounds dumb, I'm pretty tired so might have read this wrong...but you said you had pics dated within THREE yrs and statements saying you've known each other longer than two yrs. Have you met in person in the last two years?


We met each other on february 2010 and we have seen each other several times since the last 3 years! i suppose USCIS lost the documents because they are asking for dated pictures and passport stamps and i've already included those documents in the first package i sent in January!

CRAZY! and scary that they can't keep up with your stuff. I'm so sorry! Here's hoping you don't have to reprint all that, I know it's so tedious.Posted Image


I hope so too! it's loosing time for nothing doing it all over again! anyways everything is prepared and i add some more evidence for them... just waiting to see what my fiance has to say after he call them!
AurelyaFemaleFrance2012-05-21 08:58:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAny February 2012 filers?
So i was as suprised as my fiance when he read to me the RFE letter!! I suppose they lost all the documents because they are asking for evidence that we have met within 2 years This is what i put in the package when i sent it 3 month ago ( i sent pictures of us dated within the last 3 years, plane tickets, passport stamps, letter of friends and family with ID that certifies we know each other since more then 2 years, facebook messenger conversation, skype conversation, letters, emails...) My fiance is going to call them today to make sure it's not a mistake otherwise we will have to send the same documents over again! :wacko:

Good luck, Aurelya! I hope it doesn't take too long for everything to get sorted out! Forgive what may come off as a stupid question, but by getting an RFE, that means an adjudicator was looking at your stuff, right? Does that mean there are some February applications being reviewed now?


Thank you :yes: I don't know how it works! but it seems that once they receive what they need they send approvals quickly! it definitely means someone is taking care of my application!

Hi gang,

It's a sad day for me, the day this journey becomes irrelevant to me. :( We broke up today. There's been one major issue I've been waiting for him to make up his mind about and he finally has and it qualifies as an irreconcilable difference sadly. Heartbroken doesn't begin to describe it, I'm in that phase, I can't stop crying, i won't be able to sleep, it'll be tough going for a really long time. Plus I will have my son to break the news to and that is the worst of part of it all. I've already started re-initiating him to our "just-the-two-of-us" theme. I also have practical matters to attend to as I begin to reconsider the direction of my life. In a strange way, I am still so glad because I have read too many sob stories on here, I didn't want to be one of those people who find themselves stranded in a foreign country because something went awry so when this issue came to my attention, I opted to deal with it head on so that no matter what, there are no surprises in the future. So, I'm a wreck right now, but thank God, I'm a wreck in my home country and I will figure it out. I just had to let you guys know, you will inevitably be hearing a lot less from me but I will all the same update my timeline when NOA2 comes in for the benefit of other members in the future.

I wish all of you so much joy and happiness in your lives, the visa is just the beginning, I'm praying most of all that the rest of your lives be filled with love and peace as He intended for us.


I'm so sorry Rose! :(
Take Care!

I also sent out the i-129f in February, I'm going keep an eye on this thread.
Good luck to everyone.


WELCOME!!! :D

Hello, everyone! So, I have a confession to make; I've been one of those creepy lurkers reading this forum without actually posting anything, so that comes to a stop now! Just a quick intro - I'm Dan, live in NYC. My fiancee is Lindsey. We met here while she was attending grad school, but she had to move back to South Korea once her student visa expired. It was only until after that she left that we realized that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives with each other, so we've started this whole process. We've been making this long, long, long distance relationship work for nearly a year now. But we know that it'll be worth it in the end.

During the whole process of getting the I-129F together, this whole site was a tremendous help. Anyways, just wanted to say hello and commiserate that all this waiting is the worst!

Also, I wanted to share this link with you guys:
http://dashboard.uscis.gov/
It provides data for the various USCIS offices for the various forms, and you can play with it to see if you can spot any trends and whatnot. I was hoping it would be updated each quarter or so, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Anyways, hope everyone is well. I'll mostly be online, but Lindsey may post occasionally as well.



WELCOME!! DAN and Lindsey!!

Made it to Florida last night... was so awesome to see Tom waiting for me after a long & dangerous drive! (we drove right through a severe thunderstorm with tornado warnings in Michigan... scary stuff!!)
No questions at ALL at the border, maybe because I was travelling with my parents. The only thing they asked was for me to take my glasses off so he could match my face to my passport LOL.


Yay Katy! Enjoy!! Can't wait to be in May to see my love! Have fun

Yay! Where in Florida? My fiance is in the St. Pete area.

Reading some of the time differences between you guys and your fiance(e)s makes me feel incredibly fortunate that we're in the same timezone! And, that I'm lucky enough to be able to hop in a van for 24 hours, and drive to see him next week! (Though after this, I probably won't get to see him until at least June or July because work is getting SUPER busy as of April... we just happen to have a really slow March, so my boss told me she's happy to let me go for a week)


My fiance is in Delray Beach! I spent 3 months with him from november to february been away from him since one month now and it's really hard! I'm happy though he is coming to visit me in May! wish you good luck :D
