How many K1`s

[Larry / Angelina 0]

This is just a curiosity question... I read alot about the process times involved in getting a I-129F approved,especially in California.

My question is .. Does anyone have any idea exactly how many I-129F`s are sent there .. It is hard for me believe that there are that many to cause the amount of waiting time involved. Especially since I have read they can get decided upon in like 15 min ..

If you look at the timelines, you can get information about how many were approved at each centre. I'm not sure if they include every K1 or just the ones that are members here.

But I think it's likely... it's not only fiance visas, but spouse ones, employment ones, etc...

The timelines are only for those who have created a timeline here.

The immigration statistics for K-1/K-3 visas for last year aren't yet listed in the Yearbook of Immigration Statistics

but for 2006, there were 30,021 K-1 admissions (those who were issued I-94s) and 14,739 K-3 admissions. Since they are only the approved visa holders who actually entered the US, that would to be about 15/hour, based on an 7.5-hour day, for about 244 work days in a year (1950 hours/year). I don't know exactly when the service centers other than Vermont and California stopped processing K-1 applications.

Also, keep in mind that every visa application is not the same. If we were all, say, 28 years old, never married, well-paid, child-less US citizens sending mistake-free petitions for fiance/es from low fraud countries, then one could suggest that each application would take the same short amount of time!

There is no real indication of how many petitions are sent. I think i read one time that over 14,000 are sent to CSC per month.

however, if you only go by the info on VJ, your going to be way off, as thousands dont use this site.

Good luck on your journey

In 2006 30,021 K1 visa holders entered the United States. This does not include unused issued visas and denials. In 2002 approx 11% of the k1 visas entering the US were from the Philippines

If you start over-analyzing it you're going to make yourself

Use the energy you have to contact your reps and let your voice be heard.
