@Obllak, I know you have already far and exceeded the call of duty, but if this NVC thing does become a concern, is there any chance you could start, when you have time, building a NVC version of your K1 sheet? I don't know if that's even possible and you seem much smarter on this stuff then me but just may be a valuable resource.

That was a plan! But few expressed their opinions that it would be a waste of time, since NVC process is rather short, so I set that plan aside. I would definitely love to do it if that would be something you guys would be interested in. But as Andi said, since it shouldn’t exceed 90 days, I am not sure how useful this information would be.

I can't find the announcement for this, can you share the link?

I got that information from this link: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/immigration-title-42-migrant-centers-latin-america-deportations/

 

"Earlier this week, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said it would be reassigning nearly 480 employees to help the 1,000-member asylum officer corps conduct these "credible fear" interviews, which determine whether migrants are deported or allowed to seek asylum, according to an internal notice obtained by CBS News."

One of their internal graphs showed that in 2020 they had 10k USCIS workers so 500 isn't that much esp across all teams.

That's good to hear, hopefully you are right.

Understood, thanks anyway!

This process sucks the big one. I have been waiting 8 months and I have ~13 more months to go until an interview date at the embassy/consulate, and that is if USCIS keeps processing quickly.

13 more months?! How so? Are you basing this off of the specific embassy your case is going to? Just curious?

Basing this off my specific country. You will get yours much early I bet. My country  happens to have the most visa cases in the entire world.

I think someone else has said this before, but it would be amazing if there was a way on the spreadsheet to estimate your approval time depending on whether you are in the first 50%, 80% and last 20% percent!  obviously only if it doesn't take too much work!!

Ah, so it looks like this is the source, and the follow up tweet also mentions that specifically they are already people who do asylum processing:

Judging by name they're in Mexico, Mexico has slow processing times at embassy due to backlog so other countries will generally have a shorter wait for an interview.
