Have you tried the search box on the upper right-hand side? Have you googled for an answer? Have you searched out other threads here on VJ to see if there are other discussion that you could be a part of the conversation to learn? There are so many options for you to pursue yet here you are in the same "groundhog" scenario.  

I’ve searched for months out of VJ because I had a website error here. There is nothing I can do. I will be in Groundhogs Day indefinitely until approval. Processing times are increasing significantly and we can’t marry outside and do a 130. Not many Australian discussions in VJ K1.

Took me less than 5 min to find these links. Don't complain if you are not willing to put in the work to answer your question. I don't feel sorry for those who don't help themselves. Don't worry, I'll show my way out. Good day.

It is only fair that no one gets to walk between the rain.  In this immigration process we all get wet some time or the other.

They have not really "jumped the line".  If they have been approved while the rest are still suspended from processing, then they have actually shortened the process for the rest of the K1 applicants who were waiting "in the line" behind them.  When the embassies start normal K1 processing, these people will not be in the queue.

 

It's more of a win-win.  Being frustrated with DOS for not processing the K1's for normal applicants, I can understand.  But why be upset at the people who won their lawsuit and have their K1's processed while the embassy is idle?  

 

 

+1 🙂

 

For every approved case, this means that the following cases are one step closer to getting approved as well. We’re all in this together.

These are literally headlines or links to articles of you asking others to complete their profiles. None of those links explain how I can personally file an expedition and there is success or route to it. 
 

The only one was from 9/11! Like I said in my reply. Nothing recent. The others, weren’t K1. You should worry more about content then subject lines. So not only were you not helpful, but then decided to see yourself out without reading the threads you linked the convo to. Please continue to ask others to complete their profiles. You’re really great doing that.

Because the embassies are not idle right now, cases are being moved to "in transit" and people are scheduling interviews. So no, it is not shortening the process for us, you are incorrect in that assumption.

Except that they are idle? Have you emailed the embassy in Germany lately asking when they're going to to process your visa? What did they say?

I was talking with my Fiancé who is in a facebook group of K-1 Visa applicants who share their statuses. Supposedly a bunch of plaintiffs (K-1 Visa applicants) got together with an immigration attorney and sued the US Immigration in order to have their cases moved forward. Well... now most of those cases have been approved. This is incredibly frustrating as we have been waiting in line for our case to be moved from the NVC to the embassy, and now a bunch of selfish and impatient applicants have jumped the line.

Maybe you should do the same? Glad I did😁

Sooo I´m one of the selfish plaintiffs which wanted fight for the right to get this visa legal. I was waiting almost a year as well. And I was fed up and wanted to move forward with my life, I lost my job due COVID and its hard to be alone right now (financially). We had no idea if this would work out our not and we worked a lot for this since august. I waited, payed and did everything legally and if you wanna point the finger, please point the finger on the goverment and not us. Im having my interview on tuesday and I´m so happy and relieved and dont think I took someones spot. Everyone had the chance to join but not the balls

Actually, we got together with *three* nationally renowned immigration attorneys and tried to get as many couples on board as possible, to give as many K1 couples the chance to see progress in their case for a small price ($1,000).  A price that was much more accessible than individual representation ($4-5,000 retainer at minimum) and brought about success for over 150 couples. We advertised it as much as possible, despite being supressed and criticized on VJ for it. We wanted to bring success to as many couples as possible... Would love to know how that could be classified as "selfish".

 

We didn't jump the line.  We simply got movement that we were legally entitled to. In fact, the judge originally intended his order to apply to all K1 visas halted under travel bans, but again the State Dept ran away with their own interpretation.

 

As far as impatience, yeah. I don't have any more patience to get on with my life with the person I love.  Our interview was canceled in March and we finally got our visa in December thanks to this lawsuit.  I am now responding to the post alongside the love of my life, completely satisfied with the investment we made in this suit.
