I searched fifty cases total by case number (30 before mine and 20 after mine). All cases (regardless of type) received on 07 April have yet to be reviewed. There was a smattering of other dates that had RFE's and approvals, but cases marked 07 April haven't been touched.

Seems strange that we are seeing approvals for late April filers, and very little for those of us from the first half of the month. Any input or insight is greatly appreciated.

Completely speculative but maybe the adjudicator that picked up those petitions went on vacation and they are stuck sitting on the desk...

Does anyone know, once the visa gets approved, am I still ok to travel to the USA to visit my fiancé before I have my visa interview?

do you mean the petition approved? If so, yes, you still can visit while you wait for the interview. Letting you in is up to cbp though, so be sure to have plenty of proof of ties to your country.

The visa itself is approved at the interview, coming to the USA after this will sure activate your k1 and you'll have to comply with the visa requirements (get married within the 90 days).

Good luck

My case is quite the same.

Am still waiting for NOA2,

My NoA1 is 04/20

But my company would like to em send me to the U.S. for 1 month business trip due to customer's supporting in Minnesota (I work for an outsourcing company)

Will that impact to my K1 visa in future?

Any info is appreciated!
