not anymore im afraid my friend look up daca it is taking up most of the time for filling and is really hurting k1 process trust me i feel your pain there are many links on VJ to have a look about it all some people have been waiting over 9 months so january fillers expect maybe christmas of next year sad but true .............. keep the faith though it might pick up again and lets do all this together :)

Christmas of NEXT year??? NO NO NO, Chris, don´t say that, you´re scaring people! That would be almost 2 years until NOA2. AS slow as CSC may be, this is unrealistic and will not happen! Let´s stay somewhere inbetween optimism and realism :yes:

wow, I just saw on your ticker that you haven´t seen each other in 10 months! :(

How are you holding up? Can you visit each other any time soon?

I hope my fiance will be able to come out here for a short visit, but it will only be once during the whole waiting process and it´s not definite yet....

all this uncertainty is driving people insane, isn´t it!?

Its really hard but we dont have a choice. He visited me back in February for 1 month but that has been it for us for 11 months now..

yes, 2 couples were approved after 4months only. It´s great news, but I am not holding my breath.

I think every once in a while CSC randomly picks out a few cases and processes them before due time in order to decrease the estimated processing time. When the majority is processed in 8-9 months and a few are in 4 months or so...voilà...that´s 7.5 months on average.

What I am trying to say is that very few of us may get lucky and hear back from them early, but most of us will still have to wait longer.

Also, maybe it´s just a coincidence, but I have never seen anyone getting approved early when the benificiary was from a Western country. Maybe they think it´s not that "urgent" for us to come to the US as it may be for people from more troubled countries.

That is entirely country dependent.

It takes about 2-3 weeks for the case to get to NVC and then to the embassy. After that, some countries will let you schedule an interview in 2 weeks, and some in 3 months. Also, depends on if you have to get the packet 3 and then send it off to the embassy and have them assign an interview date, or just schedule an interview with them right away and just bring the forms and documents to the interview.
