How long should K1 petition/application be stuck at "Case Was Received"

[londoner2025 1]

The USCIS received my petition on October 11 and as of December 7th (today), the status on the USCIS website is still "Case Was Received" -- this is the same as what it was on October 11th. I've heard others say the application should be transferred to a processing center within a few weeks to a month from the Dallas lockbox. I live in CA so mine should be sent to the CA processing center - how do I know if it was transferred over yet or not?

 

Anyone else submit their application around the same time as me? If so, mind sharing what your application status is?

I am in the same boat right now, but mine only yesterday turned to "received"- I was in assumption that I will see more info on my NOA1 if it was actually accepted or rejected just from the initial look. But, my $675 fee was already charged to my credit card so I am assuming it is actually "received" and going to the appropriate service center (seems like CSC per my receipt number starting with WAC) for processing. I guess we are just now waiting on an NOA2 or RFE at this point, to answer your question.

@thakattack159 Will USCIS send a notification by email or text that NOA2 was sent or is it only email? I never got a text/email for NOA1 but I got it when the agency received my application.

The NOA1 should say which processing center it went to, like on the bottom left or something. The status will remain as "case was received" until you get an approval or RFE or something else.

Ours sat at “Case was Received” for 8 months until we got an RFE. It won’t change until you get one of those or and approval

California receives most K1's to serve not because u live in California / i am in TN and that office had mine 

 

If u were able to check your case,  you must have a case number meaning its in hands of service center  and now u wait and wait
