K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWHAT A JOKE =(

At the risk of sounding rude (not my intention at all), I think anyone filing through VSC should count their blessings. I filed 2 months to the day after you, and my estimate right now is February! So is the case for many people. The process isn't done by machines, and cases are handled by a variety of different people, who all work at different rates. Everyone's petition looks a little different as well, so the process is highly subjective. As a result, estimates in time frame are just that, loose estimates. VJ'ers represent a miniscule portion of people who file, so we can't take the estimates on here as gospel. If you want to keep your sanity through the process, you MUST relax so early in the game. I stressed for the first month and realized quickly that this process does not need to have power over my life. Be grateful we all have love in our lives and be patient. Good things come to those who wait. (us CSC filers are really hoping this is true!)


thanks for sharing your thoughts...not rude at all :blush:

Patti we went through Vermont and yes it took 3 months for NOA2 but I really do think you will hear this week or next as they seem to move quicker than Cali. A pastor said to me when I was waiting "without the battle there is no victory" mmm was anxious at the time but made sense and Mum always said lol "good things come to those who wait" ahh the wisdom of our parents. Keep strong darl it will happen soon


"good things come to those who wait":D That's exactly what my fiance says all the time...God bless you and thanks for your encouragement words :luv:

Thank you again and God bless you all (L)

When we submitted the fiance paperwork back in May 07, the time line for approval in CSC was running about 3-4 months. Shortly thereafter, USCIS raised the fee structure for all petitions. This took effect in July 07 and resulted in slowing the time line way down. Not only that, but the Democrats were pushing for people to apply for citizenship because of the upcoming election in Nov 08. Our petition, along with almost everyone else' s came to a grinding halt because of the huge back log that these events created. CSC started running 6 months plus. Ours took about 7 months.

I know it is very hard to wait but hang in there. Remember that there is ALWAYS someone that has been waiting far longer than you. Good luck!:thumbs:


Thanks :)

If you keep complaining about what god is doing you might be punished.


I'm not complaining about what God is doing, i said He knows better cause I know He is in control of everything...and He wont punish me just for having a moment of despair

Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated between October 20, 2010 and October 27, 2010*. Yeah right :wacko: its November 1st and nothing yet :crying:
I really wish I could understand the way VSC works...seriously they are making me go crazy :blink: I've been looking at Igor's list and several couples who filed their petition 2 or even 3 days later than we did, got their approvals...happy for them but this waiting its getting really annoying :unsure:
oh well...God knows better...:blush:

God bless you all

sorry but I needed to vent this out :P

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsLosing faith

Good friends had their NOA2 take 10 months to obtain.... and no RFEs.

They never whined and you shouldn't either.

And you know you are not to make ANY plans until the visa is in hand.

Suck it up and be patient.


so nice of you...those are just the kind words people need to hear....

Is this a serious request or are you just being argumentative?


I'm not being argumentative... I really want to know cause I didn't know about that rule and I read TOS and couldn't find it, that's all :)
