Congrats to the Philippines Embassy on K1 processing time

[Captain Ewok 1,891]

In the past 18 months they have nearly reduced their processing of K1's by two thirds from roughly 120 to 40 days:

Congrats! Good news for all K1'ers .

good news to here......interview before dec 10th? maybe?possible?

[wizardfitz 13]

Way to go USCIS, maybe they have finally gotten through the huge increase to beat the fee. Whatever the reason it is great news for new filers.

Thats good news, since we will be going to interview within the next 2 months. Now all they need to do, is to cure the Delbros debacle. I think it pushes the "visa in hand" number to more like 70+days. Its nice to be able to get to interview quicker, but when an inept courier service takes 5-6 weeks post-interview to deliver the visa it kind of skews the stats in my opinion.

i think it has to do with the country compared with some countries it takes forever for them to be approved.

I liked the 120 day wait... It was fun...

Our 129F was approved by USCIS on July 11th. First of all I want to say that this process is a lot harder than it should be... it's like an easter egg hunt from hell trying to get all of the information you need!!!! Now that we've passed the first hurdle (USCIS) I know that the the National Visa Center is next and judging by what I've read it's a short stop. My question to all of you is exactly what is the document verification? What documents are verified and who verifies them? I want to get my fiancee (from the Philippines) to the USA as quickly as possible and to do so I am trying to be proactive. I know that she has to prepare a 156, 156K and 157, get the NBI clearance, police clearance, medical exam and finally the interview but I am a little in the dark on document verification.

Any helpful info?

Hi, I'm just starting to fill out the I-129F, so early in this whole process, but what are Delbros DV delays?

I'm not sure, but as I look at several timelines I am not seeing such a delay. As I said before the process is very frustrating and there seems to be a lack of information or misinformation about getting from A to Z. I am midway through the process (I129F was just approved) so I can't say first hand how long the entire process will take.
