K1 DELAYS?

Hi Joel,

Thank you for sending that to me. Apparently, this just started

happening, but it should not be a factor in your case.

A new law took effect earlier this year that required USCIS to gather

information from petitioners about whether they had ever been accused of

domestic violence in the past, how many K1 petitions they had filed

before, and a variety of other issues. But, the new law only is

supposed to only apply to cases filed AFTER the effective date of the

law, which was March 5, 2006; so, it should not apply to your case.

Apparently, USCIS has completely dropped the ball on gathering the

required information/complying with the law, and that is leading them to

a "petition recall" for some cases that got approved after the law took

affect where they never gathered the proper information. I'm going to

guess that the majority of those cases were approved by the Vermont

Service Center (that serves the Northeast part of the U.S. only) because

of the timing of the approvals. It's a pretty bad situation.

Again, this should not really affect your case, but it is another

example of USCIS completely messing up processing of K1 petitions. I am

worried that this is somehow affecting your case indirectly, and am

going to keep monitoring the situation with your petition and sending

inquiries.

Sincerely,

Alex Halow, Immigration Attorney

I´m getting sick of USCIS. My hopes have gone down the drain.
