You've  misunderstood.

In between K1s being filed there are also other visa forms so for example if a WAC number ended 100 and the next WAC number ended 101 the one ending 101 may not necessarily be a K1 visa. 

 

Download the app 'Case Tracker' and it will show you this, you can filter just the i129f petitions to see how many have been applied for.....

 

How do you filter only I-129? On my app when I do a search it will not even show I-129. I see how to filter, but I-129 isn't even an option only I-130,I-539, and I-102.

Never mind, I see that it only lists what comes up on the search. So if no I-129 comes up in the search then you will not have the option to filter to only it.

Hi everyone, 

 

So when my fiance called USCIS about the NOA2 they said that they are a month and a half late for the processing.  They told us to call again after 4-6 weeks. This is getting frustrating. What might be the cause of the delay?

Hi, as we see now October1-10 are being approved. The big number of applicants and the lack of uscis staff may be the cause of prolonged processing times. We've already passed the most of the way - just a little more patience and you get some good news from them soon!!! It is no more a matter of 5 months waiting - just a couple more weeks 😉 

NOA1 May 24 and hoping to be approved early November 😊

Delays are probably down to shortage of staff force and possibly high level of applications. 

 

We have to remember that it's real people reviewing our cases so they are all going to be working at different speeds. I wonder what they targets are, if any?

 

I work for an insurance claims management firm and I'm part of a team that reviews claims.. I can only imagine the boxes they have to tick and the paperwork involved for each case ...

I think they do have targets. But I think their priorities change. I read somewhere on here that a friend of a VJer was recently taken off the I-129f cases temporarily to deal with the Haiti visa extensions (around end of July time)

 

An ex adjudicator also refers to targets here.

I'm wondering late from which point?

 

all we know they may be late from oh the 6 months point already... and that's not even funny (7.5 month wait for noa2... well that would slow down the immigration... that's for sure

It's 2017, You'd think they would start online applications 😂

But nah we are manual! Yayy

(EDIT: sorry, this was meant as an answer for the June thread, but I am on my phone and somehow ended up in the wrong open tab 😅 not sure how I an delete it so I'll just leave it here)

 

Fairly sure all those approved June cases are expedited.

 

Also, as mentioned already in the May Thread a few days ago, it would be interesting how many April petitions they have done at which point / are still doing right now, to actually see if they are mostly only working May petitions at this point, and if not not, how many from April are left in need of processing before they get to May only and eventually us June filers.

I hope they start  early June soon Good luck to everyone!

Good Morning My Fellow May Comrades!!!!

 

Congrats to all of those that have received their NOA2 and are even at the NVC stage. You guys are almost there and are our blueprints to follow from your experience. Please remember to update your timelines with your NOA2 dates and other dates regarding the process.

 

To the rest of us still waiting...while patience can longer be a virtue for any of us at this point, but another day gone is another day closer to receiving our "Golden Ticket". Frustration and discouragement is really heavy in this group and trust me, I'm right there with you. There's no easy remedy to fix this "waiting game" issue, but until then I would like to provide some advice on things to do because I've noticed a lot of people getting their NOA2's and then asking "okay, what's next - what do I do now?"

 

If you haven't done so, I recommend reading up on the VJ Guides, USCIS site, CEAC site and other steps as it will tell you what will happen next after receiving your NOA2. What I will tell you what my fiancé and I have done so far, he has gotten his immunization records and has found out the cost of his police certificate, certificate of non-impediment, he has studied interview questions and I've even quizzed him on them to make sure he's answering them with confidence and no hesitation (although he knows me better than anyone I've ever been with...ha). I've filled out the I-134, already compiled my financial documents that are gonna be needed to show support of financial stability, and updated our letter of intent letters. The only thing left for us to do is he has to get passport photos and I have to print out additional pictures and chat logs for additional proof of ongoing relationship, (although I doubt I will need much of that since I will be attending his interview which is proof enough in itself). Also, I have started to prepare our home for his arrival - getting closet and drawer space ready, buying clothes he's gonna need when he arrives (I live in Delaware and he's from Jamaica so outside of jeans he has, he doesn't own a coat or sweaters and other warm clothes that he's gonna need).

 

These are just some of things I've done so far, not just because it has to be done, but it does help with the waiting because I know once our NOA2 comes, EVERYTHING goes soooooooooooo fast I want to be prepared. I recommend that you all read up on the next steps so that you are ready to continue on with this process because there's so much that you need to know and I'm not just talking about the information up to the interview. Start to prepare for the AOS filing after marriage which means starting reading up on the requirements and what it will be necessary to get through that process because that is even a longer wait to get the GC. With government changes every day, knowledge of this whole process is definitely the key to a successful journey.

 

Lastly, USCIS is not "skipping" around cases just because. CSC handles all immigration petitions of all types, so your WAC# is the number privy to your K1, but the case before or after can be another type of immigration petition. USCIS adjudicators are trained to handle and process all of them. So, try not to take it so personally if you see an approval for a case that is after yours - it might not necessarily be a K1. Also, do not determine your NOA2 date on the estimated timeline that VJ is providing you. VJ is not USCIS and this is an estimated timeline based on VJ members who have created a timeline and update their timelines correctly and timely. If you continue to use their estimated timeline as a factual timeline, the only thing you're gonna cause is more heartache, anxiety and frustration!!!!

 

We're almost there guys - it's coming!!!!
