To quote: How does he return to the US? - as I understood it I cannot visit my wife whilst the visa process is in place.. it would make a world of difference to be able to see her once in a while at least.. been 8 months online and webcam sad.gif

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was told by an Immigration attorney that he could come and visit, but he can be denied entrance and if so, he's to surrender his petition to enter and the go back to the UK. So far, he's only been detained once for four hours. They asked him 1 question, "When's your birthday?" Then they let him go. Each time he's come into the states he's told the Customs Officer that he's here to see his wife. So, no point in lying -- we've been advised what would happen if he massaged the truth a bit or even lied. NO thank you!

I don't understand - the VisaJourney graph for K3 shows that the I-130 NOA1 to NOA2 is at 6th December.. if this is correct then the USCIS site is incorrect for saying 5 months and my I-130 which they received on the 10th is not out of the time frame.. but then the guy at USCIS did say a few days ago they were processing Jan 11th or something.. I'm confused :crying:

Can someone clarify this?

The numbers and dates on VisaJourney are predictions based on the averages of input from other members. It does not reflect every filer but can at times give some fairly accurate timeframes.

When dealing with USCIS, always go by their published dates. The ones you see here are totally unofficial, only based on a small percentage of filers, and mean absolutely nothing to USCIS.

According to USCIS, you are outside of processing times. Go ahead and start sounding the alarms (and calling senators etc.).

Naturalization

N-400 package mailed: 04/16/2013

N-400 package delivered: 04/16/2013

NOA1 date: 04/17/2013

Biometrics: 08/23/2013

Interview: 10/07/2013

Oath: 01/23/2014

DONE!
