at this point after reading those posts from June filer, I stopped making plan and I stop stressing myself. It's sad but true that our future and our plans depend on USCIS decision. there is really nothing we can do instead being positive and hanging there.

 

May the force be with us !

 

Exactly how I feel to every single bit.

Have a lovely time  Glad you got through okay

Im currently discussing with Jake about me visiting in June 2018 if the delays are still as bad as they are currently... if i was to hand my notice in at work in May 2018, fly out June 2018 to visit for a month, do you think i would still get through border with not having a job back home? Ofc ill still have my ESTA visa, but wondering if anyones experienced visiting with no job to come back to & got through okay?

Well i can't tell you for sure but they didn't ask for any proof of me returning to holland. If you go and have a two way ticket i think you should be fine. But i can't say for sure offcourse. I travelled in September, October, now and i'm going back in February,and they didn't deny me once.

Great thank you  yeah i will have a return ticket, i cant remember if theyve asked me about a job before, although i will have to update my ESTA at the time if i leave my job, with all these K1 delays it means i wont see him for almost a whole year & im struggling now with this time of year  just got our fingers crossed that we will be approved by April/May.. its jumped from estimated end of March to end of April.. its soul destroying

This is an update of a graph I posted around one month ago when I compared April and May regarding the length of time from Received to Approved. Now I'm including June under the same conditions.

 

As a reminder, in the graphs below I try to compare what happened within the next 173 days after that last day of April, May and June received cases. In order to see it clearer I put them together in pairs.

 

In that time, with a total of 1394, 1507 and 641 approved cases (after removing some outliers) respectively:

 

• April had a global mean of 153.08 days from Received to Approval date, with a standard deviation of 15.04 days.
• May had a global mean of 169.95 days from Received to Approval date, with a standard deviation of 9.45 days.
• June had a global mean of 181.61 days from Received to Approval date, with a standard deviation of 7.64 days.

 

After what we've seen over the last weeks it's not surprising to see that the times have worsened significantly in the last month and, what's worse, they have approved much less cases in the same period of time. The explanation for this might just be that it's Christmas and less adjudicators are working on cases... let's say with a less urgent attitude 

 

Hopefully everything will slowly start looking better from January on and we'll all have a happier beginning of the new year to come!
