WTF is going on???

[John/Sam Miles 0]

I have jsut checked the Immigration Timelines and figured out the following:

In the last month about 100 NOA2's were received by either K1, K3 and CR1 filers

Of that 100 only 12 were K3 filers

of that 12, 5 were from India

This is from different Service Centers.

What is going on with the K3???

Why is there more Fiance's being approved than Spouses???

When I first filed I thought I would get there alot quicker after reading in so many places that the USA feels strongly about reuniting families.

Man - Wait Wait Wait Wait - Dont they realise that it is real peoples lives they are waisting here!!!!!

I want to see my husband!!!!

Unless you compare the ration of K3 filings to K1 filings, the data you cite is without meaning. Far more K1 petitions are filed than K3. Many married people file only the I-130 for immigrant visas and far more couples choose the K1 route. Check the number of filers in the timelines too.

No, it is not a coincidence. It's just numbers. A lot of K3 members are bringing spouses from India as compared to the numbers from other countries.

USCIS is not on a quota of approvals or decisions. The work the cases they have in the order they receive them. IN the mix of I-130 only, I-129F for fiance and I-129F for spouse petitions, they receive fewer I-129F for spouse (K3) petitions, so naturally they approve fewer of them. A one sided analysis will do nothing but drive you crazy.

John/Sam Miles,

You haven't figured out how many Approval Notices were received, you have figured out how many VJers have reported their receipt.

Perhaps more fiance(e)s are being approved because more are petitioning. Do you have those figures?

Nope I haven't had time to check on anything else.

Obviously we are all looking for answers to help us feel better about the time it takes us to be reunited with our families and this was just a quick analysis...

When I have time I will look into it deeper....

Your incomplete analysis probably disturbed you unnecessarily because it allowed you to draw the wrong conclusion. The only reason I pointed our that it was missing key data was to let you know you'd concluded incorrectly, so you could relax. Continue the analysis if you want but I'm confident the final outcome will be that the ratio of K3 to other case types approved is in line with the comparative ratio of petitions submitted. Again, as Yodrak said, you're only looking at petitions reported as filed and approved by VJ members. That's quite an incomplete and unscientific sample.

So, not only is the analysis of the available data incomplete but the sample is tainted.

Yes it did upset me but that is ok... Like I said we are all looking for answers as to why the process takes so long... I have given up on looking for answers as like you said it is only that of VJ members and that is not even half of what was actually submitted.

I was hastey in doing the incomplete analysis.

I did read somewhere today that the VSC is at a backlog and will only run smoothly again after the 7/13/2007 once they have sorted out other filing that has priority...

So right now we revert to the saying "Patience is a virtue"
