For those who do not keep up with Igor's List, here is a little perspective on where the USCIS actually is with their processing of I-129F's.

Petitions To Date for VSC (By Date Sent In):

October 2010: 0 approvals 2 pending

September 2010: 0 approvals 43 pending

August 2010: 0 approvals 65 pending

July 2010: 3 approvals 97 pending

June 2010: 81 approvals 38 pending

May 2010: 78 approvals 15 pending

April 2010 79 approvals 25 pending

March 2010: 117 approvals 30 pending

February 2010: 103 approvals 20 pending

January 2010: 123 approvals 29 pending

December 2009: 86 approvals 23 pending

November 2009: 111 approvals 23 pending

By looking at the pattern it appears that 75% - 80% of petitions get approved in 3.5 to 4 months. The majority of the remaining will not get approved before the 12 month expiration.

I think the reason for some of the very old ones, too, is that a lot of those people haven't logged on for months and so it just hasn't been updated. Thanks for this, though!

Hello everyone,

well I was almost beeing sent back home yesterday at POE JFK. No joke, and an experience I will never want to have again. Also wont have to, cuz I got threatened not to enter the US again until I have a granted K1.

Funny Story is, with the first Officer everything went fine:

OF:Business or Pleasure?

me: pleasure, but not really cuz my grandmother is really sick and I hope to see her alive.

OF: I am sorry to hear that, have you been here before?

Me:yes

OF:When was the Last time ?

Me: A month ago and I didnt plan to come back this quick but this is a special circumstance

OF: Stamps and Nods.

ho

I continue to get my luggage,find it right away and wanna proceed through Custom Declartion when some one decided of them, cuz they must have been bored, cuz I was one of the last persons to clear immigration ( cuz it was BUUUUUUUSY) to take me aside and look through my Passport.

When they found a various Number of STamps ( since I was mostly the one visiting my Fiance most of the time within 2 yrs), they got suspicious and entered me in their little sneaky ####### computer. Well me and my fiance went to Canada for Vacation and I guess that officer over there must have made some remarks already under my name,cuz after digging in there,...they started DIGGING DEEP.

They took everything apart, my clothes,luggage and started mad questions, of course the usual,how I support myself, who gives me money, why can I go away so often from Germany,who do I know over here, do i work,do i have an own apartment, what does my fiance do,what is his name, how long we known each other,... They even had the guts to ask how much longer my grandmother has To LIVE because i have my return flight for december, so if he was that sick why would i have to stay that long !!!!!

That just startled me and i started crying..

Telling him that we are going the official way of the K1 didnt make any difference, he was just asking : "Oh how is that working out for ya"..

I had Binding Ties,Bank Statements,Insurances of my Car,my Car Papers, and an OFFICIAL Letter by my Lawyer that I have to return to attend in civil court as a witness. They didnt even CARE.

So then it was time for my wallet,and in my wallet supposably what they found must have been so startlin that the supervisor had to come and check everything out. I had various "Business"Cards from Friends that are Photographers. Especially now that my fiance and I are planning our wedding I needed those,t hats why they were in there, but they assumed that I PLAN to work with those photographers,asked me about every single card..

When i told them to call them and verify they dropped it and were interested in calling my mother to see if she would varify my intention of coming back to my Homecountry.

I wrote down the number, turned out, they just tried to mindfuck me right there again. Cuz they never called.

Supervisor and Officer were taking a Moment aside,before mad notes were made in the Computer and the Threat Spoken: Not to return without any Visa Approval of my K1 cuz otherwise I will get denied next time...I wonder what they wrote down int he computer,

but you guys can trust me : not gonna try again to see my fiance until I have some APPROVAL !!!!

I dont wish this on anyone!!

[Anna and Ali 13]

so sorry you had a rough time. that sounds so scary!

[Andy and Kayla 45]

Sounds like you had an abnormally jerky border guard. So sorry to hear, hon!

[Mel1990 3]

Omg that sounds so scary to go through! :S

I almost had the same thing happen when i went to the UK last time. Took them around an hour to decide to let me through(AFTER calling my fiance's mobile and making sure I wasn't lieing!)

[ameribrit 37]

Really sorry you had such a hard time. But that, right there, is the reason i won't be travelling to see my fiancee during this process.

You were really unlucky to be pulled aside after getting through Immigration, but it could be that the first officer got onto the radio to his buddy on customs to look a bit more in depth at you. You will never know.

Happy you made it through. Get lots of pics, and plenty of evidence of the two of you together over there, to take to your interview.

Have a great vacation!

[brian89 2]

Oh WOW, this is making me really scared going to the US in December. Why do you think the questioned you after you got truw the POE? Did you say something about your fiance to the officer?

What happened Mel, if you don't mind me asking? I'm going over to see my fiance in about 2 weeks. Now you've got me scared! I thought it wouldn't be too much of a problem since we couldn't get married there even if we wanted unless I had a visa to do so?
