I have a friend that applied for a K-3 several years ago. She INSISTS that all marriage based visas with male petitioners are processed faster (which is her case, she is the beneficiary).

My fiance also insists that all cases he knows of out of Nicaragua were in the 3-4 month range (NOA1 to POE) and all male petitioners.

I'm not sure that I'm convinced. Although, we are a female petitioner/male beneficiary couple still waiting our K-1 NOA2 after loads and loads who applied after us got approved...so I just wanted to see if there is any truth behind it.

I think it would be more accurate if you use time between petition received to visa in hand. External factors may delay POE :)

To your question...Male petitioner - 5 months and 7 days

Saludos,

Our NAO2 took a little over four months. He would have had his interview (and visa) much faster, like in November if it weren't for external factors (I think I told you what happened). Then with the delay in the medical exam (not the doctor's fault) multiple external factors...If all goes well on Jan 9, I can't say that it took us longer because I am a female petitioner...Me entiendes???

Female petitioner, 8 months from filing to visa, a year to POE. But we delayed the interview by about a month because of external factors.

male petitioner. My wife (then fiancée) got the visa 5 months after I sent in the petition (it would have been sooner, had there not been an RFE), but she stayed in India for 4 months after visa issuance (until shortly before the wedding) to do packing (and also, attempt to get her mum a visitor visa to attend the wedding--which failed).

Total: 9 months filing to POE.

Female petitioner, 6 months from NOA1 to visa

It may have been a bit shorter if we weren't dealing with Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and Carnaval in Brazil. I requested that we NOT have an interview in February (instead of March) because of Carnaval and my job in the U.S., but I don't know that we would have anyway.

09/2006 - Apply for K1

03/2007 - K1 approved

04/2007 - Apply for AOS & EAD

07/2007 - EAD approved
