APRIL 2021 I-129F K-1 FILERS

I cannot even explain how frustrated I am with USCIS.  But as an April filer (still waiting for NOA2), I feel bad for the May filers as they are being overlooked.  I am happy that a lot of June people are being approved in the last couple of weeks.  But doing this just so it will make USCIS look good, I don't think that is right.  Although what I think doesn't matter to USCIS really, so it's a lost cause for me to get frustrated everyday... I still get frustrated anyway, who doesn't? 

I now accept that USCIS is a broken establishment that needed to be treated from top to bottom.  This incompetence is just unbelievable.  I feel like we, the ones trying to bring our loved ones legally in the US, are being punished, while the illegals are free to enter the country.

Tomorrow is another day that me and my fiancé hope to get that sweet approval.  And if we're are not approved this week, we can only hope maybe next week.  And if not next week, maybe the week after.  At least we know it will come... eventually.  

I'm sorry for the negative aura.  It's just one of those days.  

Hang tight folks.  As what my fiancé would always tell me: "Just stay positive because there's nothing we can do."

Same, i find it so frustrating that both parties (Democrats and Republicans) talk "we want legal immigration", when reality is anything but this. USCIS is utterly broken, 0 transparency, 0 accountability, no place to complain. To add insult to injury, Democrats are supposedly party that likes immigration, and since they took over it has been one disappointment after another. How us it possible that under Trump wait was around 6-7 Months and we are looking at 13+ Months with probably even more.

 

Every day that passes I feel more and more frustrated, because I have a feeling that there is 0 improvment to processing.

It’s true it’s broken, but really there is nothing we can do about it.  We are delayed, but eventually we will have our day and our visas will be approved and we will live with the love of our lives.  
 

Be patient

True, I cannot wrap my mind around the fact we are waiting longer than 2020 K1 cases, when the pandemic was at its worst. 

Plus, I think the dems use the immigration cause as an election platform and no true intentions of acting on it.

I feel for all these March and May filers  is ridiculous they  are processing way more june filers than earlier ones. 

393 Days here… seems there’s no end to this.

Super annoying they can manage to do 40 June cases a day when they should be using those precious resources to finish April and start May (Unintentional rhyme)

Never ending nightmare

I admire your positivity.  
But there are times that it just gets me.  I've seen so many posts that has the same sentiment as my earlier post.  But I understand them because I am in the same boat.  WE are in the same boat.  I know I must be patient... and being patient is what I'm TRYING to do, because I... WE have no other choice.  

So, thank you for your encouragement.  

But because I'm just human and weak, there are those days that it's just hard to be positive.

I'm just thankful of this website, knowing that I am not alone... and looking at other people getting their approvals, it somehow gives me glimmer of hope that one day, I will have that approval in hand as well.

Day 397, just got RFE, not sure if I’m more upset or relieved that actually something is happening.
 

Terrible timing as tomorrow im leaving the country to visit my fiancé and now somehow I have to keep an eye out for the RFE Letter while gone.

Yeah unsure whether to be excited to get any updates at this point. Day 399 here...

[Xiaova 1,480]

Here are the mid day updates:

 

71500: 1 Denial (0 new / 1 in progress)
72000: 4 Approvals (4 new / 0 in progress)
72500: 2 Approvals (1 new / 1 in progress)

Not seeing much activity on March or June so this seems to be their typical slow day. At least a lot of untouched cases were processed.

I’ve noticed usually not much changes between midday and the end of the day. So what are the doing for the entire rest of the day????

Yeah it's really weird. I noticed most approvals come in 10am to 2/3pm PST. After that, it's mostly just RFESs or Denials. Maybe the later half of the day they are just inputting data into the system and starting on the cases for the next day.

 

My last three weeks has been: get hopeful in the mornings then deflated past 3pm PST.

Is going with marriage visa faster??

Can I know why you’re considering marriage visa if you don’t mind?

 

Im on the same page. I’m also an April filer.

My group also only approves 1 case a day if not none:(

 

Does anyone know the fastest way to be able to work in the states for k-1 filers??
