Processing time to NOA2

Hi, Guys.

I am one of K-1 March filers. And I am nearing 215 days for NOA2. These days, according to other guys’s time line, we can find out people barely got NOA 2 since middle of February.

I wonder why… I was searching news or media stuffs of K-1 for now. But I couldn’t find anything why it is being slow. I just guess it’s because of Covid or Thanksgiving, holidays?

Is there anyone who knows why it’s getting slow? Or please let me share any news of fiancé visa..

What is the issue?  Official USCIS processing time for I-129F at CSC is 6 to 8 months.  You are still within that range.

 

In 2018 the processing time was 5 to 7 months.  It depends on the number of petitions filed and amount of resources at USCIS.  And perhaps how long the DOJ takes to perform background checks.

 

Here's the historical processing times per USCIS:

March of 2021?  I think you need to revisit your expectations.  People have been waiting much longer.

They're currently looking at March 2. It's almost your turn, don't be discouraged!

Unfortunately, just because that's the date they're using as outside of processing times, it doesn't mean that's the date they're working on. They still have 60% of February to go. In truth, they're up to February 22 with any consistency.

Thanks you so much! We can do it! 😭

Don't worry your time will come, do remember there is almost 12% applications from January which have not even been touched and I know people are still waiting from Oct Nov and Dec as well, be patient and stop checking it every hour that will do nothing but make your hair fall. 

 

Make a pattern, check every Monday and Wednesday. Don't read too much into what the USCIS is doing because honestly there is NOONE NOooooOOOOne who can tell you with 110% conviction that "this is why"

 

So support, try to learn more tips and tricks, fill out your timeline so that way you can easily find out what's happening within that range with a little more accuracy, check your countries forum. 

 

Cheers

Of course with covid, the process has slowed down even more.  You are within the normal time range though.  Hopefully you get your NOA2 soon.
