yea we are holding off on a date so that we dont get disappointed and stress out if it doesnt work out, but figure as soon as we get the NOA2 we can make a much better estimate. Are u sick of people asking what date you are getting married yet? I am lol I am telling people roughly November!

It's a question that seems to preoccupy everyone except me and my intended. We will have a legal one in the US asap after entry for the expected reasons and then have a "do" back in Blighty next year. Most of our family and friends are in the UK some of whom are getting a bit old for a 10hr flight and as my fiancee is a Brit too it makes more sense.

Normally people would be planning a wedding by this point. Getting the Visa and my move sorted out is quite enough stress thank you.

Yes I am very happy for them but a little sad so she the first jan filer I know that was approved immigration is pure luck!!!

Honestly i dont think they will start processing 2013 until all the 2012's have been finished. Not even one has been processed yet....Trying mentally to prepare myself for a long run

You're 100% right about that. Hopefully very soon some of us will be that Lucky =).

On April 19th user Alema_2011 claimed twice that they were January 2013 filers and had been approved on April 19th. However that user has no timeline so I am a little suspicious that either they were joking or they were January 2012 filers. But there have been a few late December approvals so we may see a few coming through now and then. Everyone assumes this is a first-come, first-served process but it appears to in reality be a bit more of a bell curve with a few lucky people being approved earlier than expected and a few unlucky ones being approved later than expected.

Someone else claimed that according to Sen Boxer's office the CSC expects to process all filers before September by the end of April (seems optimistic I know) and all Sept/Oct filers by the end of May. With a good percentage of November and December already processed that means January petitions will likely be approved in late June or thereabouts. Nerve-wracking I know but that would be 6 months for us and at this point I can live with that.

Yes, everyone that I haven't seen for a week or more, the next time I meet them always asks when the wedding is. It's getting pretty annoying, especially as the answer is always that I have no idea, it all depends on the visas. I should just print out a bunch of cards saying that due to visas taking an undetermined amount of time, I cannot determine when the wedding will be and just throw them at people when they approach.

In any case, going to Ukraine to visit my loved one in a week! Yay!

Pray pray pray.... Visajourney has become my new facebook lol... Need to check it all the time.

I totally understand, I check mine all the time as well. On my laptop at home, on my phone when I'm out or at work, I'm totally hooked....

[Azsara 110]

im the same. I think I wonder what ill do with all the time I spend now obsessively checking Visa Journey?

Hopefully ill be busy starting my life with my family <3

[QueenOfBlades 224]

I'll probably still post on VisaJourney out of interest and to ask about AOS etc lol. Plus to see how other K1 filers get on and to keep my timeline filled out. My other half doesn't know why I find the whole immigration process so interesting.
