a Congressional inquiry (aka congressional report or congressional case inquiry) can be a powerful way to help push your K-1 visa case along if it’s experiencing significant delays beyond normal processing times. When is it recommended to request a congressional inquiry? If your I-129F case is pending with USCIS longer than the typical processing time (usually about 6 months to a year depending on service center), and you’ve already checked USCIS processing times and made inquiries without progress. If your case is stuck or lost in the system, or if you haven’t received your approval notice after a long wait. If your case is beyond the published USCIS processing time and no status updates are available. Since your I-129F just got approved (August 7, 2025), is it too late to do a congressional inquiry? For the I-129F: No, it’s approved now, so that part is done. For the next steps (NVC or Embassy processing): If delays happen later (like if the NVC or embassy takes too long to schedule Packet 3 or the interview), then a congressional inquiry can be used again. How a congressional inquiry works: You contact the U.S. Senator or Representative from your district. Their office submits an official inquiry to USCIS or the Department of State on your behalf. Sometimes this triggers USCIS or NVC to review your case promptly and provide a status update or expedite processing.

i had to get a congressional report with US congress to send a letter. i also bothered them weekly, and called weekly for status updates. If you bother them enough. it works

i DO NOT have to start over. its been 6 months but i finally beat this after repeadly calling and calling and letter and letters. i now got the NOA2 approved

i filed K1 Visa Fiance in October 10, 2024. Me and my Fiance got in a big argument and i submitted through Online Inquiry to cancel the K1. We then talked and want to continue with the K1 Process. I sent another Inquiry to Rescind the Cancellation request. I was told since it wasnt sent via Written Message it wouldnt likely cancel anyways is this true? Does anyone have experience with this.
