What next k1 application?

[Zoozoo 5]

Hi, 

so I just received a message that they have received my k 1 application and case number is assigned. I tried looking at the processing time it’s so confusing. If someone knows please let me know. Thank you in advance!

You wait until you receive a notice of approval. What exactly is confusing? The processing times on USCIS website are very clear. Please fill in your timeline and information so people can help you.

I meant how long does it take in 2021 to get that approval notice? Sorry I should have been clear on that

Fill in your timeline,  the site will try to give you an estimate or look at the current published times on the uscis site.  

 

You need to understand that the only part that is somewhat predictable is tbe uscis part.  The consulate part is not predictable due to the pandemic

This.

 

Keep this in mind with the whole process. Likely the most accurate prediction you're going to get is with the congregated timeline data on this site or similar places. But even then don't expect week or even month specific accuracy. Also, the USCIS processing times are near useless. For example as of this post USCIS says cases up to 18 November should be 90% completed based on their data collected two months ago. If you pull look at data pulled by members running batch queries of most/all I-129F cases you will see not even 75% of September filers have been cleared yet. So the closest you're going to get to an accurate estimation is not even going to be a guarantee of a specific month, VJ seems to have the best real world estimates for this. For the consulate you're at the mercy of COVID shutdowns, political feuds, country of the consulate, and at times it will seem just based on which direction the wind is blowing. Not to mention how long the line is based on how many others are also waiting for their interviews. For an analogy of the entire process think less Formula 1, and more 1950's Le Mans but your car was built by the lowest bidder.

please do a timeline

please inform us of the country (embassy)  this makes a difference as some are not interviewing K1's,  many have a huge back log of petitions in NVC 

and some are interviewing but that would more than likely be for cases waiting from early 2020

 

and always go to the word portal above and read posts from others and embassy reviews to give you the best information from others like yourself

 

but in these days,  don't expect anything to happen fast  /  because its probably not

 

and what next?   the above guides can tell you or the US embassy under visa or the USCIS guides on K1  petition

best to both of you
