Hi All,

 

Not sure if this info has been shared already but just spoke with a family friend who works at the CSC in Aliso Viejo - he said that they are experiencing MAJOR delays due to K1s being deprioritized in favor of other more urgent immigration cases.  He mentioned that a massive caseload of Haitian immigration applications landed on their desks and they've had to pull a lot of the K1 case reviewers onto the job - apparently, the Temporary Protected Status for those affected by the earthquake got extended so now they are trying to process as many cases as they can so that people don't get deported. Since it's a human rights issue, they've been mandated to prioritze those cases. He said they are so underwater that they've apparently authorized overtime pay for adjudicators for the first time in a long time. He said I should be expecting a minimum of 120+ days since NOA1 to hear from them. I'm a May/June cusp filer, so I've got quite a ways to go still it seems.   

 

While I'm cranky about the delays, I feel a bit better knowing why - thought you guys might want to know as well.  

 

He didn't know anything about the app or the cadence of approvals/status updates.

 

In the meantime, congrats to those who did manage to get some good news this month.

 

xoxo,
Sarah

Just saw your timeline and was wondering if the 10th is your NOA1 date or your recieved date? 
If its your recieved date we share the same timeline, my application was recieved 10/4 and NOA1 13/4. USCIS app uses recieved dates

No idea actually. Hardcopy says 4/10 but email came 4/13. Not sure which is correct

If you actually have the NOA1 hardcopy to hand you'll find recieved date stated in the letter and NOA1 date written in the top right hand corner.
Seems like you're on the same timeline as we are

I saw this post in the March forum and figured I should share. I know it doesn't make it any better but if this is true, it definitely makes since why there's no movement although I would think they would shift most of the K1 cases to the other sites for help.

Thank you. Someone shared that here already, but always good to see you keeping us updated.

That might or might not explain it, but at least it's one reason why...

 

BTW, when are you leaving to visit your fiance, in a couple days?

Next Thursday evening and I come back the following Tuesday. Not my normal length of stay but we'll take it at this point. Truthfully, I contemplated on going now since I'm going in September for his birthday but at the rate things are going with USCIS and things at work, I need a quick trip to regroup and physical reassurance that everything is gonna be alright. 

 

Yesterday was a tough day for me than normal and I actually cried last night during our video chat which I didn't want him to see. Between the waiting of this process and other life's obstacles jumping in as interference, I actually broke down. But I didn't want him to see me cry because he already feels responsible for his tourist visa getting cancelled at POE last year, and it's not his fault. 

 

The thing is, it's not the wait that's so much the issue, it's not knowing what's going on and feeling stuck and helpless.
