My fiancé and I received a notice that our I-129F petition had been received on October 27, 2007. I would like to know how long it will take for our petition to be processed. I know that there is a list of processing times on the USCIS website but I am not sure if I am reading them correctly. If I am, then it will take approximately 6 months for our petition to be processed? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi and welcome to VJ! :)

There was a fee increase in July and the USCIS received a HUGE amount of petitions...From NOA1 to NOA2, people were looking at 6 to 8 months to get approval.

They seem to have worked past the majority of the petitions and we are now seeing some October filers being approved!!!

It's back to the 4 to 6 month mark.

Be patient, it will come soon!!!!

:)

Best of luck

Laura is spot-on, as usual. Processing times seem to be over their recent spike, and are backing down to their 'normal' processing times.

Good luck!
