"The K-3 visa was intended to reunite families separated due to a backlog in I-130 adjudications. However, I-130s are no longer backlogged and are currently being processed in under 6 months. Therefore, USCIS does not, at this time plan to implement a new policy on the K-3 visa petition process."

Can you give me your congressperson's name? Our committee is gonna roast 'em on Twitter.

I have sent an email to Congressman Marchant's office highlighting the blatant disregard shown by USCIS to law passed by Congress.

May Filers has anyone got their NoA2 yet? this marks our 6months of waiting....

Nope, nothing. Still waiting. I don't think we'll be getting NOA 2 for another 2-3 months at most.
