Hi all,

I went through the process end to end with my wife some years ago but I haven't been following it closely much.

 

I know somebody who will be sending his K-1 petition to the lockbox next week.  The beneficiary is in Costa Rica.

 

What kind of timeframe can they expect?  I was watching one of those 90-day fiancee spinoffs in TLC and some "lawyer" told them 22-24 months.  Can that be right?  It used to be 6-9 months total.

 

Thanks

Have you looked at the VJ processing times page lately?  According to VJ members, the average time (all consulates)  from filing to interview is 533 days.

According to the online processing times, Vermont is caught up and processing applicants that are current, so it might not be long at all. I applied in California in June and am expecting to hear back sometime between December and February.
