Hello VJ members,
I hope you are all doing great!!
I am a U.S. citizen and submitted an I-130 petition for my husband on March 26, 2024, followed by a K-3 visa request on April 5, 2024. Recently, I noticed that processing times for the I-130 have increased to 16 months, with no apparent efforts to reduce them. Additionally, processing times for K-1, K-2, K-3, and K-4 visas are averaging about 8.5 months, and we have already been waiting for approximately 9 months.
I was wondering if it would be possible to submit an inquiry regarding the K-3 visa. While I understand the K-3 visa process is rarely utilized, my intention is to draw attention to our case. Although we are not in an urgent situation, waiting 16 months for the I-130 processing, followed by an additional year in our home country to secure an appointment, feels unreasonable.
Again, I know K3 is dead...
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Renzo C.
