We filed in march and it took 191 days for NOA2. The NVC to Embassy transfer was pretty fast for us too.

Hello guys! My fiance applied for K-1 Visa on June 2018, we already received the NOA1 a day after we sent the 129F to USCIS and now waiting for NOA2. 

 

I’m a newbie hoping to get to know someone with the same situation like mine which is “THE WAITING”🤪 I have read some forums and they got approved quickly, some are 1-3weeks or 1-3months, but it was on 2015-2016-2017.. I guess the processing now (2018) will take longer. BUT I HOPE NOT!!

 

I can’t wait to be with my fiancé! We have been waiting sine June 2018. We check email almost everyday, lol. I hope tomorrow when i wake up it will be approved! 

 

My fiance and i have been in LDR for almost 5 years. and we now, dont wanna be separated anymore!!❤️ 

 

To everyone who applied this year. GOOD LUCK! I hope the approval wont take looooongggggg.. 

 

 

Although some have waited 9 and 10 months for NOA2, you won t wait long at all. You ll be 

in the States in no time at all; Filipinas fly thru the system. Just do a quick research here and you will see what I mean.

Good Luck!

Remember back a few weeks or so I gave you links to the process and instructions for the interview for USEM? That's what he is talking about. If you need them again just PM me and I'll share them again. Will save you a lot of time and get you through the process FAST.

Current K1 total time from submitting petition to visa interview is 282 days--9 1/2 months.  That's only an average.  Could be longer or shorter.  If you submitted in June, you're looking at next April at the earliest based on VJ member data for visa in hand.  Many things could slow it down such as RFEs, document delays, backed-up consulates for the interview, medical exam issues, etc.  Patience is the key to this entire crazy process, and lots of visits to see each other to keep sane.  Good luck with the wait.  Hang in there and be positive!

The wait time is trimmed back to between 6-7.5 months currently.

Hi! I would also appreciate a PM about this. I must have missed it. We're a May filer and only just now trying to read through as much as we can on this forum again after a few months. It is getting nerve wracking... Thank you for all that you do for so many people on here.

Once you receive your case number it's time to be in charge of what time you choose when things get done. To smooth that trail for you I have a few things that will help you process your visa there in the Philippines.

 

Start by visiting Hanks site where he has taken the time and research, and of course, it helps if you spent 8 plus years helping folks in the Philippines sub-forum get their visas, where he has listed each step. With those steps, he includes the what, when and why to complete the item. Many have used the website and have had little or NO problems securing a visa from USEM.

Next, you'll want to connect with those who are processing through the Philippines in the VJ Philippines sub-forum that way you will be with like-minded ppl who are sharing their experiences and also asking and answering questions. Since most in this thread is processing through another country they would be hard-pressed to explain what is needed for the Philippines.

You'll find this on Hank's website but I will give it to you early and that is the Packet 3 Letter for USEM. It's found here:
