K1 Visa process time

[tenderheartusa79 14]

Hello everyone

i was checking the processing time for the K1 visa and i found out that they updated the process time on August 31, 2008.

and the Processing Timeframe for the I-129F Petition for Alien Fiance(e) is 6 months .

so i really want to know what does 6 months mean ??

is it like it will take them 6 months to approve the petitions of August in 6 months??!!!!!

Thank you so much .

have a nice blessed day all .

Their processing times mean that it could take 6 months for them to approve your petition. If you wait longer than 6 months, then you can contact them to get further information.

They used to put a date on there, and that meant that they were processing applications from that date onwards, so if your date was within that time frame you just have to wait basically.

USCIS will never report a date less than 6 mos. If they are processing faster than 6 mos. (1 day or 100 days faster) they will simply report 6 mos. nothing less

It clearly states the reason for this on the website. . .

The table shown below is intended to be a tool for customers to view our processing times. When applications and petitions are completed within our target timeframes, those timeframes will be shown (example: 3 months). If we are not meeting our target timeframes a date will be shown (example: April 16, 2008).

The processing dates shown below represent the receipt dates of petitions and applications currently being processed by the USCIS Service Center.

So with 6 months being listed for I-129f's, they currently would be processing petitions from April 2008 onward. If someone had filed in Feb 2008 and still have not heard anything after NOA1, they could call customer service and inquire into the hold up, since it is now 'out of timeframe' i.e. over 6 months to process.

People who applied in June up until present can anticipate their petition being adjudicated in six months or less (unless there is a change on USCIS's website in the meantime).

I believe the timelines may serve as a guide as to how long, considering that several people appear to have received NOA2 in approximately 4 months while others have taken 6 months or more. It is also notable to that several of those who take 6 months or more have an RFE, or (no way to prove this) perhaps their background checks sent up some red flags e.g. same name as another person who is wanted by the law.

I really wish I could bottle and sell patience. I think I could make a killing on this site.
