Can't there be a more efficient way of doing this? It just seems to be random (sometimes) and outdated...I feel so badly for those poor souls that are at this for an extended period of time...esp. when it doesn't take that long to actually go through the applications manually...and if we are paying so much more now for everything, can't they hire more people to take care of the backlog?

Estadia, it's coming. Hang in there. I think calling USCIS help. Sometimes, you get a good customer service rep who may actually follow your case. I got one person and he was very helpful.

Thank you very much........you know she was giving normal its receieved and processing until she pulled me up on the computer that is when she went silent and said mmmm let me email them and find out why it is taking soooooo long

so im happy at least i feel like maybe i did something that might help instead of sitting here wondering what is going on

:)

I'm thinking they raised the fees because they know that K-1 visa petitioners will put up with anything to be with the one they love - we're all suckers that way. :whistle: Did anyone really believe our government could efficiently use fee revenue to improve the process? :lol:
