It takes more than 5 months to get an interview at some Consulates.

 

The issues surrounding a K1 are long and many and just seem to get worse.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Faster for what? To enter the US? Maybe. It's not faster to get GC on K-1 route. It's also more expensive. We also cannot predict what processing times will be under new administration. It's much easier to deny K-1 case after months of waiting than it is CR-1 case.


And based on what I’ve heard from friends in the consular world the assumption by most foreign service employees is that a significant percentage of K-1s that make it to them are fraudulent and that USCIS doesn’t do sufficient work there denying obvious fraud and spends too much time processing what they view as low-fraud risk I-130s.

 

We’re all in a guessing game on what the new administration is going to do, but I wouldn’t want to be in a position where I had a future spouse applying for a visa that has a reputation for being extremely fraud-prone at the consular official level.
