I hope someone here can tell me if I've lost my ever loving grip. A friend of mine has just told me, he has received his "package' from his  paralegal. He is off overseas in two weeks  to visit the future wife, and says he is going to hand deliver this to his Immigration attorney in her country? 

 

"This is the petition we are going to file with USCIS for the Visa for her to come to America. After it is filed it will be approximately 6 months for them to approve it and turn it over to the US Embassy to grant us an interview"

 

That seems a short time, presently. And why would he not sent the blessed thing to the Dallas Lockbox?  I've been out of the loop but this seems bizarre to me?

Which petition?  I-129F for K1?  Or is he going to get married on this visit, then file the I-130 for his wife-to-be's CR1/IR1?

 

If I-129F, believing that it will be approved in around 6 months is delusional.  Current estimate is around 15 months, just for the petition stage, excluding wait time for consulate interview.

 

If I-130, 6 months for petition approval is possible, though very optimistic.  12 months would be more realistic.  But who knows, your friend could get lucky.

Are they Ukrainian?  If not, your friend is severely misguided if he thinks the petition will be approved in 6 months.  Tell him to expect the K1/K2 visas in late 2024, if he's lucky.

No, they aren't Ukrainian. Can't tell a dill pickle nothing. I am more concerned that he is taking this packet overseas, instead of sending it off. I don't understand why his paralegal here, and his lawyer there, are both thinking this is the way it's done.

Maybe the lawyer won't get paid if your friend realizes he can actually mail the package himself?

He is only creating a delay.  He is just one of those people who won't listen. As far as I am aware, they still go to the lockbox. Not to a foreign country. Sheesh.
