Ummm...yeah late June early July

Not to be negative, trust me.. But realistically, even with somewhat faster times, early to mid August seems to be more on track and I hope I'm wrong!

All we can do is be hopeful. Like I said on several posts on here before...I hope it's that early but I'm not banking on that. I'm trying not to be negative about it and honestly if they continue at the pace they are going it's really not that unrealistic.

I agree.. I'm a week after you, and I want nothing more than for them to start getting to our cases by March or April...

I know if you have a legitimate job offer you can submit it in as proof to have your application expedited which I think can get it down to 2 months 

This is interesting to me because I assumed that you weren't allowed to start applying for jobs until you completed the AOS process! Does anyone know when it is acceptable to start actually applying for work? (E.g. after K1 is granted, after AOS, etc ...). I am not worried at all about my fiance finding a job here, but I know he is frustrated with the idea of having to wait to look around for months after he arrives!

Not AOS but after ead you can start working.

 

you can apply jobs anytimea but can't start working- and also can't guarantee someone would even interview someone without an EAD. But in that case it's a little different.

 

you can expedite ead if you have a job offer (I've heard it but don't know in detail)

i believe this is about that.

My fiance never worries about any of it, only the length of time this takes, wish I had his optimism!

Seriously! My Fiancé doesn't even talk about this USCIS et Al. What he says it's '...before the end of 2018, you will be here' and I'm the one counting days, weeks and months.

AHHHHHHHHHHH!😂

Yes thats the one,i was thinking same thing,i sent only 10 becouse i read somewhere that is enough but we have more to send if they ask...

I only sent 5, but one from each year (2013-2017). I thought it was cute to see us through the years. Probably should have put more, but the guidelines I read said it would be enough...

I have missed fiancé's birthday every year except one. I wish I wish I wish the POE will be in June - it's possible if the NVC is the normal 2 weeks and I know the Philippines Embassy is supposed to be quick. That's best case scenario. Worst is September, so I'm ready for anything. 

 

I'm actually just happy he won't be arriving in the middle of winter - if he got of the plane in January, he might have just turned around and got right back on it !! :P

Hi all, Jan filer lurking here! 

 

Just had a quick question for those of you planning to have separate courthouse weddings and ceremonies... how are you planning that / framing it for your friends and family? I've thought about doing this with my fiancé so he can get his work approval ASAP (and we can have more time to plan it, not subject to the whims of the K1 approval time!), but I can't seem to shake the feeling that it would be somehow awkward. Are you treating it as a vow renewal? Just ignoring the courthouse wedding for the purposes of a ceremony? Something else?

 

Any insight would be much appreciated :D

My fiancé and I are looking at the courthouse as a legal thing only, while our family and close friends will know we’re married before our real wedding, most of our guests won’t. We’re doing a ceremony & writing our own vows. We just won’t need to get the marriage certificate done. :)

If things stayed as slow and tedious as they did for May & June, I would agree. However July & September have fewer cases & USCIS seems to be picking up the pace as well as the NVC waiting time decreasing. If things stay like this I would like to think that POE for October’s by the end of June/ first week of July is feasible
