Proceeding time for K-1 Visa

[Audel y Liz 0]

Hello Everyone,

Some of us are patiently waiting for our petitions to come through and in the mist of the process we are sharing our love with our distance fiancés. I submitted my process on May 9th and I have notice a tremendous change in the proceeding time. There are couples whose petitions were submitted around March and have already been interviewed. Has anyone submitted a May petition and is going through the same. Is there anything we should do, I have called several times and I am getting the same answers. Can someone let me know? Can someone share their experience?

Have you done an extensive timeline search for people filing for the same type of visa at the same service center as you? That should give you an idea of what has been happening at the VSC for K1 visa petitions.

Other than that, there isn't much you can do but patiently keep on waiting.

The "mist" of the process. I like it.

Your timeline says you should be approved about now. So I would expect an answer around these days or by the end of September!

Times for processing visas received at the Swiss consulate can be found here and they seem to be pretty fast (around 20 days after receiving). So, expect about 2 weeks after approval for the consulate to receive (NVC usually takes only a few days.... although many people have experienced more!) and then another 20-30 days for your interview to come up. In the meantime, you can start gathering documents (police reports, birth certificate...) from Cuba as well and from any other country you lived in. Good luck! Your (K1) journey will be done soon!

You can also look at Igor's list and see where you stand on that list and who is being approved right now. I'd say you should navigate around position 50 or something and should be approved soon. I am also not sure if youre going through Cuba (as country says) or Switzerland (as timeline says) but consider that the Consulate in Cuba is taking about 90 days for the interview (vs 20 in Switzerland).

I feel your pain. My fiancé and I filed the same date as you and are anxiously awaiting our NOA2 notification.

Be patient, VJ indicates we should be in the review/approval process between now and Sept 26th. I've tried getting better information from my attorney and Congressman’s office but both seemed offended that I even asked. I have found the best source of information and support is this website.

Don't give up!!!!
