Hello veterans... I have a question for you.. I am an American citizen, and my fiance and I sent in our packet for k-1 visa, 1-129F etc.. August 1 2012... it was received and I received a letter in the mail stating they had it and forward it to California center... it is now March 1, 2013... 8 months later and we have heard nothing more.. online it still says processing.. but I am very nervous it got lost or something... any tips, help, advice?! thanks!

Maybe you can try making a service request.

Good advice. What's the process for the Service Request by the way?

Thank you, God bless!

I doubt you are going to be able to do a service request...I filed July 26 at CSC and it won't let me. They say they are currently processing July 18 so "we aren't outside of normal processing time." Browse the other recent posts related to CSC and July filers and you will see what is going on and what you can expect.

what is service request?

what is service request?

Basically it is a request to expedite your petition.

August filer too and we called last week, they didn't let us to make a service request, saying they are behind of schedule and it's normal processing times.. They say we should hear something within the next 3 weeks.

It's the new normal. We have to suck it up because they are the only game in town, so to speak.

That's interesting because they told me we should hear something within two weeks and what was funny and interesting to me was that the tier 2 officer said wow u r out of processing times and you should have been gotten your NOA 2 and so he put me on hold for a while and put in a request for me without even listening to my concern. I guess I got lucky

just called them and they said the same as others have posted... they are currently working on July applications.. however it has said that since Feb 4...

As a July 17th filer, I can say that service requests don't do much and that although the wait sucks, there really are still people before the posted date, with uncomplicated petitions (he is from England and has been here on multiple H2B visas with no problem and has never overstayed and we have known each other for years) still waiting. Your petition isn't lost, but from what I can gather from my congressman and the tier 2 people on the USCIS call center, they have not been processing many applications that were not expedited. I fact, if you look at their posted data they processed less than half of the number of petitions they normally process in December. It isn't any fun and it definitely isn't easy, but your petition isn't lost, they are just working very slowly through other petitions.
