I-129F processed WAY faster than intended. Is there any way to slow this process down?

USCIS processing times for I-129fs has sped up significantly.

Last I heard they were working on cases submitted december 2023 and january 2024.
your case still has to go to the NVC, where it can sometimes sit for a month or 2.

And then onto whichever embassy/consulate the beneficiary would go to.

And that could add time to the process depending on the consulate.

some consulates the wait time for a K-1 visa interview can be long. depending on how many they get.

The interview est. wait times don't have a spot for k-1 when looking at the USCIC website for the specific country. Are these treated differently than other interview requests? Panama's wait times vary from 2 day to 499 day interview wait time estimates. Thanks for any insight into this ❤️

not 100% sure.

it could be because you schedule your own K-1 Visa interview. Where as a lot of other visa's the interview is scheduled for you.

it could also be because K-1 visas don't have a limit to how many can be given like other types of visas.
