Why is it taking so long?

[JenniferNangel 137]

im i would guess other visa types have different trends , so prob not a good idea to think all visa types carry the same trends with processing

I was told a certain time it's past that time

I'm waiting on the uscis still that's why I asked

I'm not getting answers from anyone and it gets frustrating

No two journeys are the same....

Thats all im gonna say....

Got NOA 1 in late June, still waiting too, so I bet it will be a while for some of us

Waiting is hard but like the other said

Check out our 6 year wait and hope yours goes a lot faster

good luck

It varies case by case, waiting is the worst but the only thing you can do is put it to the back of your mind.

My case has been crazy fast, we received NOA1 on June 9th and my interview is the 18th October...

Yet someone my fiancé is friends with; she's still waiting for NOA2 after 160 days.

It's complete luck of the draw but it's honestly the best feeling you'll get in a long time when you see progress on your case so just stay positive and know you'll be with your partner soon. Once you're together and married you'll look back on the visa process and laugh because you'll finally be with your partner!

Sorry

My petition is from January, and I am still waiting. 245 days so far. I have filed 2 inquiries, and got the same response both times:

"Thank you for your inquiry. On September 14, 2016, you or your representative contacted USCIS concerning your I-129F to notify us that you believe your case is outside of our normal processing time. Below is a summary of what we found and how the issue has been or may be resolved.

We have placed your case on a processing hold because the required security checks remain pending. Until we receive the results of these security checks, we cannot move forward on your case. We require the results of security checks before we make a decision on any pending case.

We cannot predict when we will receive the results of these security checks. Please be assured that we will make every effort to make a decision in your case as soon as the security checks are complete."

Very frustrating!!!

Now it's 192 days and I'm still waiting for NAO2...have my congressman intervene, same message, pending background check.

What is going on at USCIS?

Is it because I filed 2 months after my divorce was finalized?

Was it because of my occupation that I have to undergo yearly FBI checks?

Or my fiancee name is too common that it pulls on the FBI database?

Wow, I am so sorry! I cant imagine the frustration you and your fiancee must be going through! I hope you receive something soon.
