Hi, my friend filed a k-1 visa in October 2012 for her fiancé who is from Ukraine, and its been 5 months since. I know that the average time is about 5 months but Every time she calls USCIS they say that they are reviewing petitions that were filed from July 2012. Their petition is in the California center. Does anyone have a similar story or had anyone been already approved who has filed in October 2012? Or does anyone know any information on this??

K-1's are taking 8-9 months, CSC is processing July now. Have them join VJ, so they can read other threads about the processing delays.

If they're in CSC, they can take anywhere from 8-10 months.

They're barely at 5 months.

I've heard of some September filers getting approved, no October filers yet.

Patience is key.
