Am I being paranoid??? I've been browsing this site for a long time (even thought I only joined Oct) and spoken to many people in similar situations but it seems most people are approved from my timeline.

I also know that my fiance & i are extremrely lucky in that we can use the visa waiver to see each other more than others BUT being inthe USA at present...does this affect our processing time? I mean...are we being bypassed because I'm here?? WE've had no requests for RFE's.

Just wondering..... :wacko:

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service, (USCIS) is probably not even aware the US Customs and Border Patrol admitted you on the VWP. If they were aware, it would have no impact on your process unless you overstay.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...
Understanding the big picture is priceless. Anonymous

I don't think they'd even know you were in the US... as pushbrk said. Remember, many couples spend most of the processing time over there using the VWP and as long as you leave on the right date, no problems.

Also, that last touch might have been an approval, judging by your timeline. Perhaps try calling, check emails, etc.
