200+ Days and Still Waiting

[Nick + Elizabeth 54]

I'm talking about the k1 fiance visa here. Those that filed a I-129f. I am starting to get just a little bit angry that we haven't been approved and are approaching 7 months. We actually got an RFE needing "more" proof that we had met in the last 2 years. Though I had sent tons of proof I was able to scrape up a good bit more and send it back to them. This whole process is really getting to me. I mean, it's at the point now where I feel like the stress is starting to take a toll on our relationship and though I am sure we will come out alright in the end it's certainly affecting us at this point.

Browsing through this forum for even 5 minutes will show you that you are NOT, in fact, alone in this. It's quite stupid how ridiculously long VSC is taking to process these atm and I hope you will soon be approved.

With that said, take comfort in knowing that since you've received an RFE, that at least means your petition is now in evaluation. No more long waits for you. As soon as your RFE response gets there and gets relayed to the adjudicator that's sitting on your file, it should take a matter of days for your approval (or heaven forbid, yet another RFE ).

Still! You're almost there! Good luck!

I got a text on Tuesday that they had received my RFE though my hopes haven't been too terribly high on getting an approval any time soon. I see the other two people waiting from my day that got RFEs 3 weeks before me are still waiting (but then maybe they haven't even sent theirs back in yet...). Also, I think my 'adjudicator' is not working at what I would call top speed efficiency as it took me well over 6 months just to get the RFE. :/ and yeah, was looking through the forums. Truly though I don't see many people waiting still from the beginning of February or prior to that date. It bums me out.

This approach would not solve anything, for their petiton is not at the National Visa Center.

usually it takes 2wks(since your status online change to rfe RFE response review) for vcs to process your papers..

so if they text you last tue (8/28) expect your noa2 on or before sep 13...goodluck

Well, that's pretty good information. Thanks!

At least you got an RFE rather than nothing for another month...or two. It means your petition was finally being adjudicated and only halted due to the RFE.

OP, do you have any idea why the initial proof wasn't enough?

I hope you get an NOA2 soon, good luck!

We got or NOA2 yesturday 8/30/12 after 276 days. It was the longest and hardest WAIT I ever did.

276 days are you kidding me? That is insanely long wait...

I would have been institutionalized after that kind of wait...

Congrats on your approval...FINALLY

Just about everyone at VCS is waiting that long. There's tons of posts, petitions, rants, despair and anger.

Actually the average time at USCIS Vermont for an I-129F petition is 186 days

Big difference from 276 days....
