Anyone have any input for me? I'm also an august 130 filer. .but then quickly became an august 129 filer when I discovered I was pregnant. I'm hearing 129 is going a little quicker these days...I know someone that got their noa2 4 months after filing. Just curious if anyone has heard anything of the sort. I'm hoping to come through this 129 at least..before I give birth. Dont want to do it alone. But I know the harsh possibilities.

I also filed in August, and I know that I have a while before I receive the NOA2, but my thought is this, with all due respect to K1 Filers, why are the CR1s taking so much longer than the K1 Fiance visa. I mean we are I-130 filers are already married, and some longer than two years, but yet, the visa we apply for is taking allot longer to get approved and our WIVES or HUSBANDS here. That just makes no sense to me, that the process even takes as long as it does. I mean to me, this can be done over the phone, and completed within an hour. I just do not understand. I know there are allot of people filing and I get that, but this is just the worst process on the planet. You make a call to see if the person is a criminal, and to the other country to see if they are a criminal, check the docs to make sure it's legit and move to the next one. What, they only process just one per person a day?

I hope we will all receive good news from the USCIS by next week. Keep safe!

Is it me or does it not make sense for married couples to wait longer to be together than those that are only engaged?

No, it's not just you. It makes no sense at all and the whole process right now is completely backwards.

What I don't understand is why it is taking so for American citizens but there are people who file as US resident and their files are being approved at a faster rate!! Ugh makes me so angry.

Yes, you and me both. It's infuriating and our own government treats us citizens like #######.
