Hello everyone,

 

I have been reading a lot about the processing times, and I noticed that people who applied just a year ago got approved really fast..why is it that this year its taking so long to get approved ? Is it because there is more petitions being mailed in..what's the reason ? Do you think they will ever catch up and not take over 6 months ?

I doubt they will catch (at least not until 2020 or later), and if I were to guess it is due to anti immigrant (both illegal and legal) stance of the current administration. More security/background checks are requires with (presumably) same amount of people.

K1 petitions seem to be relatively consistent, about 12-13k per quarter give or take the last couple of years. Maybe it’s the background checks. Also, total forms submitted have increased over the years.
