Right now they're moving very slowly. They're processing Februrary petitions for the most part right now. When we applied in Feb. they were the faster but have hit a wall and are moving like mud.

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

Initially filed for K1 visa - Feb 23 2012

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we've abandoned this application

We married on Aug 24, 2013 in a small ceremony in MA

We'll be applying for a CR1 / IR1 visa as soon as we are able

Watch this space for updates!

What you heard in the past doesn't necessary apply to now, and to the future. Look at the charts on the right of this page: http://www.visajourney.com/content/times

Right now they are slow, but I see you filed last July, so hopefully they will speed up and your case may be approved in the 5 month-goal, meaning before 2013! Check your timeline, the estimated processing interval should change over time. :)

Be patient and get you informed on the after-NOA2.

It's different all the time, I heard last year that california was the same and processing them really slow and vermont was fast, now its the other way around. There always seems to be one faster than the other, vermont is starting to pick up on approving applications though(timelines say people in march are getting approved now) so hopefully you'll get normal processing time :)

I had mine approved last week and I filed in March. My advice is to just ignore all the estimations cause it will make you nuts and this process drag. I stopped checking my status everyday, and at one point had to take a break from VJ. Just for peace of mind.

According to your signature you have only had your I-129F in for about 3 months. But I signed your petition anyways :)

I hope not.

Mostly yes (if you live in the East coast, big chance that your file goes to VSC, if you live in the West coast, big chance it goes to CSC), but sometimes not.
