How long would you wait on immigration before giving up and moving to the philippines?

Just curious if any of you guys have drawn a line in the sand so to speak , of how long you will sit and wait without an answer before giving up and moving to the philippines.

Yes, I did. our visa journey was fifteen months. when we got the visa, I had already signed a power of attorney, giving my son power to finalize my affairs. was within sixty days of leaving the US!!!!!!!

THIS IS A DECISION TO BE TAKEN VERY SERIOUSLY.........

I think you might employ a bit more patience... based on your timeline in your signature, you only filed in July, and 5 months is frankly a drop in the bucket for waiting time... Plus with all the holidays it is a bit slower... Any reason you filed K3 versus just the CR1.. I ask as it seems that the approvals for the I-130 are delayed when you also file the K3 as the petition for the CR1 is held until the K3 catches up... Not to woulda, coulda, shoulda... just saying that might be a factor...

But I would give it some more time... you have been married for less than a year and have a lifetime to look forward to and live together... Perhaps an extended stay with your SO would be a nice diversion while you pass the time???

Well Im fairly sure my case is IMBRA , and will probably take forever and ever. I'm hoping for a yes or no answer, and my worst fear is just it never ending. I guess we will wait and see, I'm not even sure if its a K3 or CR1, I hired and immigration lawyer and I guess they are doing whats best. Or maybe the I-130 gets approved and then you have the choice of which one? Not sure, just know its processing

No knowing your situation and which provision you fall under for IMBRA waiver (previous k-1s, criminal background or interntl. marriage broker) it would certainly depend on the specifics of your case... However, knowing that in a usual case it is about 6-9 months I would certainly give it a bit more time since you are only at the 5 month mark for the moment...

Good luck
