Don't feel bad - I had initially looked for that option myself before I learned about the Ignore option (I'm doubly stupid then because I hadn't found either one :P ). Good to know now!

We may be stupid but we can still learn new things!

That will take a minor miracle. They would have to dedicate at least 8 FTE to processing K1 every day without fail. That level of commitment to processing K1s is unprecedented in any processing numbers I can find.

 

I based the calculations on yesterday's workload they handled. I do understand that may have been a above average day for them, but I hope (an pray) it will be a new norm. @John & Rose did you see the post I wrote? I see you again went with 180, i sincerely hope you are wrong.

 

Btw, my old man had a saying "there is an a@@hole born every day", so I have to say that our friend Karl filled his spot majestically. :lol::lol::lol:

Indeed. I think Karl was good enough to cover a few days. I feel bad for blocking him. I know I missed some great shared knowledge of the Filipino culture. 

 

Im hoping for 160 but right now it just doesn’t feel like it. If you read the papers, Homeland is taking steps to slow things down and bypassing Congress. I have no idea what it all means but my gut says it means things will slow down even more. I have accepted the fact that is is going to be next year and we just have to grin and bear it. I still beat myself up for not filing in April!!!

Yes it is looking that way...hoping for NOA2 in December as my timeline keeps “slip sliding away”...at least there is a light at the end of this tunnel (I hope!!) 😊

Wow.  I assume we all dropped 5 days in the last 3 days.  I dont know what is going on but it certainly isn't processing visa applications!!!!  Our timeline dropped from early September to mid November since June.  On the bright side, I won't have to buy a lot of winter clothes for people who have never experienced winter!!!  Now looking at March or April...

 

CR1 is quicker and cheaper!  We need to let all the newbies know about that option.

My timeline has been heading backwards for the past week or so...maybe I’ll just stop looking at it 🙈 Yes the CR1 might be the better option now since the processing times are starting to be about the same!
