I think if we all divorced, filed K-1 petitions for our fiancés and fiancées (ex-spouses) and then just marry again in the U.S., we'd get approved and interviewed faster than all of this waiting they have us going through. idea9dv.gif Those K-1 petitions have been taking less than a month! wow.gif

It's so frustrating! I really hope September is the month. The saddest thing is that we paid for this awful service.

Wishing the best for you all! :)

one reason k1 filers might be getting approved faster is because it takes more money that way so its convenient for them to approve those faster and first than us that only going to spend up to $900 USD to reunite with our spouse but like i said wake me up when september ends :P

VJ processing estimates state my case may be adjudicated between September 25 and October 7. Previously it was supposed to be adjudicated between July-August, then August-September, now this. Because of the rarity of approvals, one cannot say for sure whether the case would really be adjudicated in September, one can only hope.

Please, please let the processors remember that our country was built into the strength it is today by immigrants. By people just like us, like the people we married, the people we love.

By the people we are trying to bring here to be with us and to help make America a better, stronger, happier place. We believe in America, otherwise we'd not be going through this struggle. I know it sounds corny, but hang in there, people!

For some members, the VJ processing estimates state:

"There are not enough recent approvals in the timeline system to accurately approximate when your I-130 will be approved."

You made me laugh and reminded of the infopass appointment I had couple months ago. There was a basket to put our appointment letter, I was the first one since I had my appointment at 8:00 AM. Within 20 minutes, that basket started to collect more appointment letter. The officer started rollcalling, I waited 45 min and my name was not getting called but i saw the people after me had their appointment done and left. Finally, after waiting for 1.5 hrs. my name was called and the officer told me that he was about close the appointment. I said, well I was the first one here and I had my appointment at 8:00 AM. Guess what, he was calling the last first and the first last. We both had a chuckle, but I was really upset and started to wonder no wonder why this place is so dysfunctional. A simple process of getting in line does not even click in their brain. :)
