Hey Guys,

My fiancée petitioned for the K-1 visa back in November 2012 and we haven't heard any information on our case at all.

He called and they told him they would call him back...they eventually did but with no information at all. They just said to wait another 45-60 days...this was in January.

All the USCIS site says when we enter the receipt number is •Your case can not be found at this time in My Case Status. Please check your receipt number and try again. If you need further assistance, please call the National Customer Service Center at 1.800.375.5283.

When I tried calling the number they told me they couldn't tell me anything about the case at all because I wasn't the petitioner.

Anyone have any advice on this? Is it normal to not hear anything for 4 months after NOCA?

K-1 petitions in the VSC that are currently being adjudicated seem to be from the August/September time frame, so they definitely aren't nearly up to November's filers yet. The fact that the number isn't in the system does seem odd though. Even my case, which I filed in February, is in the system. For that, I'd recommend having the petitioner call them since they said they can't give the information to anyone else. As far as the petition itself goes, I assume since you have a case number that you have received your NOA1, and you should expect to wait another month or 2 before you get your NOA2

That is very typical. This is the main reason it is called the mis-information line. They will tell you to wait 30 days before you call again. You can try to call back and ask for a tier 2 supervisor--you will need to be persistant. You really have no need to worry as the K-1 is now currently taking 6-8 months and you are currently in month #4 or about half way thru the wait--unless things pick up. They will not discuss anything unless you are the person named on the petition or application or that person gives permission for the USCIS to talk to their representative.

I would find something constructive to do with yur time so you are not always checking the status of the petition and driving yourself crazy.

Good luck,

Dave

Well thanks everyone for your replies, nice to know I'm not alone.

I wonder though every site we looked at before here was saying 5-6 months but there are peoples timelines showing 385 days from the time they sent their packet in to the time that they finally got their interview. Thats a scary timeline.

I wonder if it would just be feasible to go to the states for 4-6 months and wait this out there?
