Scroll up to the top of the page. See that link in the bar that says "Immigration timelines?" Click on it.

Select K1 visa. And read read read!!!! Lots of data here.

But, in short, the average time is 2.9 months. For Vermont SC filers, the real average is around 20 days. Some have gotten through in 2 weeks. And most under 30 days.

I-129F/K1

1-12-07 mailed to CSC

1-22-07 DHS cashes the I-129F check

1-23-07 NOA1 Notice Date

1-26-07 NOA1 arrives in the post

5-20-07 Packet 3 mailed

5-26-07 Packet 3 received

5-29-07 Packet 3 returned, few days later than planned due to bank holiday weekend

6-06-07 Medical in London (called to schedule on May 29)

6-11-07 "Medical in file" at Embassy

6-14-07 Resent packet 3 to Embassy after hearing nothing about first try

6-22-07 DOS says "applicant now eligible for interview," ie: they enter p3 into their system

6-25-07 DOS says interview date is August 21

6-28-07 Help from our congressional representative gives us new interview date: July 6

7-06-07 Interview at 9:00 am at the London Embassy - Approved.

7-16-07 Visa delivered after 'security checks' completed

I-129F approved in 111 days; Interview 174 days from filing

Ken,

VSC doesn't need stats because no one's petition is sitting there long enough to require any.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

Yes, that is why they are not included. I did not read the original post thoroughly so I missed the "VSC" part until after I posted. Hats off to VSC filers, I wish I was one of them. :angry:
