Processing time for K-1

[sam26880 0]

Hi, I have a quick question. I filed I-129F on Feb 21st, 2013 for my fiance who's in India. It was sent to Vermont center. I read on the website that the average processing time for this center is about 6 months. What I want to find out is whether this 6 months is for the amount of time they decide to make a decision and then my fiance is called for an interview or whether this 6 months cover the entire process (decision + interview + final approval)?

Hope that's clear enough.

The 6 month average is for petition approval and does not include additional time for interview etc.

The 6 month average is for you to receive the NOA2. Read the forums and you'll see many people still waiting over 7 months just for the NOA2. I'd say you're looking at around 9/10 months from start to finish.

Hi no one ever knows how long the process will be, but I would try to anticipate a wait of at least 7-9 months. You may however get lucky and get it processed sooner or you might be unlucky and have it take longer. Good luck

It's just for the approval of the petition and doesn't include the interview. I suggest that don't rely on 6 months coz it might take longer than that. If you are lucky enough you might have an answer in less than that average time. Good luck!
