12/18/13 our K1 was received....6 months and a week!

I called USCIS 10 days ago and kindly complained that there is NO processing times listed for Texas and the 129F form on their website

The guy was real nice...took my info and said I would receive an email

2 days later....the email was a pathetic form letter telling me NOTHING

Yesterday I call...again a very nice guy......he said "LET ME SEE WHAT I CAN FIND"....AFTER A FEW MINUTES HE SAID THE ONE THING HE COULD SEE WAS THAT MY CASE WAS IN THE HANDS OF and adjudicating officer (or something like that)

LO and Behold but 9 hours later I get the email notice that we are approved

Hoping for the best for all of you too

What happens next???...it goes to Manila?

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

Awesomeness!!!!!!!

Happy for you too. You can wait with us under the NVC forum. One called 10 or 20 days something of that nature. We are waiting for the MNL # so we can request our medicals and interviews.

Go to the local embassy website and read on what happens there and forms you may need to get them all ready. (Random I feel like 1 in every 3 users are from phillipines lol) :) :) happy dance

It's happened to most of the December through February Vermont filers.

Thanks QueenOfBlads, you're right. I did end up calling them and they told me that this is normal as well. In fact, what they told me was that Vermont center has a huge backlog and since it's already been 4.5 months since I applied, in order to expedite the process, they sent to Texas center. I'm hoping this will speed up the process. I really want to hear back something by end of August (I applied in end of Feb 2013)

Good luck to everyone!

Feb 8, 2013 - I-129F Package sent
Feb 16, 2013 - Case Accepted and sent to USCIS Vermont Service Center for processing
