trust in the god timing I’m March 15th 320 days and still waiting i have faith that I will have good news soon 🙏

Same here. At first we were told 9 months to 1 year for the entire process and now its almost 3 years but then people crossing the border are together in a couple of days. Doesn't make any sense. 😢

it’s not actually 9-12 months for the entire process, that’s just waiting for the noa 2. after that, another several months of wait at the NVC, then embassy. And when finally you are together, another several months for ead and more than a year for green card. Having said that, I guess, being illegal is way easier. it’s a disgusting joke, it’s not even funny

same here July 9th .. I was heartbroken to see that !😔😫

mel G, unfortunately, you are right. it is sickening. im march 10. had to go overseas twice leaving my business and losing thousands of dollars just bcz i couldn't wait to see my fiance. its really hard and not healthy to have more than 4 months pass without seeing the beloved one.

This is ridiculous have been counting days to meet my fiancé how long should we wait doesn’t make any sense how they work

we all are

@andrea mmasinachi I saw this yesterday, and I just said to myself, ‘you know what? stop looking at the processing time to avoid HBP.’ Mine is July 10th, a day after your pd.

same here July 6th …. I saw this yesterday.It’s driving me crazy 😩😫😤

Same here :( also from July

@Tatiane n @ Wehn I don’t believe the updates are true because how possible is it to approve April filers and then start to process February….doesn’t make any sense to me.

@Amy Temitope i agree. My sister said same. she said those updates may not be accurate. Either way it is emotionally draining. So expensive travelling now plus the covid crazy

@Esther Esther, it would have been better to update an accurate date to have a gleams of hope

Guys I'm going to start a movement to see if this changes. Hopefully it will work but something has to be done. Only becuase they say we have to wait that long, doesn't make it right.

I'm with you on the movement

@Jackie and Ariel I’m with u

@Jackie & Ariel go ahead! im with you too. but how you gonna do it? any idea to share?

Yes. I am going to startba petition on change.org. If many sign, we can get the attention we need.

I'm have it written down already, so I'm going to do it this weekend. Are you guys USC or LPR or both?

US citizen

USC

USC

how can i find the petition? we need to link it to visajourney. many people like us there.

Thanks guys. Once I complete it, I will add the link in the comments.

I been waiting for almost 10 months for my NOA2 this so frustrating

I’m a USC

@Jackie & Ariel: Many of us are single parents with kids, healthcare workers and also students while working and to worsen everything, we are being mandated at work every other day. I am a single mother of 2 little kids. I’m a cardiac monitor tech, full time nursing student with a full time job (night shift). I get mandated at work 2 to 3 times a week unexpectedly and this makes the babysitters so mad because my mandation at work disrupts their plans for the day, so I always lose babysitters. if I had my fiancé here with me, I will finish my nursing school with ease and also go to work without fear of how the babysitters will treat my kids because they are upset. That’s a little part of my story, aside from my health issue. So, please give them the reasons why they have to work on K1 visas or better still, they should spread it out to other service centers. Thank you

Ok everyone please sign away and share on every facebook immigration group that you are in. The more signatures, the more attention.

@Amy I just did made the petition now and I can edit it but I will add you story in tomorrow. Everything helps.

@Jackie I just signed it. Ty

I just signed it

Thanks everyone. Something needs to be done.

@Amy. just signed it! thank you so much!

I shared on Facebook groups

@N A you’re welcome. we should thank Jackie too.

yes! thank you Jackie. you started with the idea.

guys dont worry. I'm just tired of not being able to be with my husband and I'm pretty sure you all are too.

What I see in this issue is that K3 are being given attention now instead of K1. I don’t know why.

it doesn't matter k1 or k3 or any kind of application. everyone applied to uscis is desperate. i started having the feeling that they use the covid issue to cover up their mess. while people like you and me who are health care provider being pushed to the front line.

@ N A I agree. I work for a bank and we never stopped working. Most places have adapted and changed to keep running but immigration uses covid as an excuse for everything.

I am a single parent. Even though I work virtually I am unable to travel because my kid has to be in school. And when I get to travel to visit my fiancé I either have to go with my son, or arrange for care for him or unable to stay long out of the country;: either way it is expensive.

I have probably spent like 30k already in 2 years. It's too much

Me too. @Jackie & Ariel. I'm really spending a lot.

me too. but we can't complain about that bcz we are not corporation which they can bring a foreign worker in 4 weeks.

i put a link of the petition on visajourney forum.

I just signed it, hopefully we can get a response out of this

i am trying to start a new topic on this forum under please sign this petition to accelerate k1 visa processing but faild to copy the link of this petition. any one knows how to do it?

@NA please where is the link since most of us are K1 filers?

@NA After starting the petition, it tells you to share petition and gives you option. You can copy the link from there

thats the link

@Jackie we already signed that. NA wants to start a petition as regards speeding up K1 processing.

Oh ok cool. Let me know and I will also sign it when you do it.

no. no. i want to use a link of your petion again here on lawfully. not every one on this app can see this conversation. i meant to start a knew conversation. you can do that. just exit this conversatiin and start a new one under the title of your petition. i was able to take your petition to visajourney for other member there to see it and sign it. but i faild to do it on this app

I don’t think you can do that.

well, im trying to spread your petition where people of interest are. will keep trying.

Thank you so very much. God bless

Yes, what @N A is saying is right is just start a new conversation sayin there is a petition on change.org and put the link in the comments.

thank you @Wehn A. that is what i meant

okay

98 out of 100? just today? Wow

yes, a lot of us feel the same 💝

yes! that is the spirit!

Thanks so much. Hoping for the best.

last a few hours to ask questions for Microsoft team's meeting of uscis. So if you would like to ask something about K1 delays, this is your last chance! The link is on comment section

saw this in another post

@Jackie Is there a way your petition could be edited to add how K1 visas is being delayed or processing time increasing?

yes of course Amy. send me what you would like me to put in the petition and I will add it. I saw your comment under the petition, do you want me to add that or would you like to send it to me through here? I can edit it tonight.

@Jackie my post is good, and I can’t keep wasting money to travel to Africa because it’s too expensive and not healthy because of the pandemic. Jackie, I’m sure others will have things to say too that makes them want K1 visas to be given attention too. Thank you

ok will do Amy.

@zara I don’t see any link to the meeting. When you click on the link, I only see you should put your email for subscription to all USCIS and government topics and some not relating to my case.

Thank you Jackie.

Yes I agree, it would be nice to mention how this k1 processing time keep changing as well and is hard to make plans for the future when they keep changing stuff.

It’s very disheartening because I have my father’s I-130 stucked in NVC since last year. I didn’t hear anything from them after I submitted documents and fees. Then, I decided to put in K1 for my fiancé because I felt it was a short time, and now this is all happening. So, I have 2 applications all stucked in Immigration offices (1 in NVC, and 1 in USCIS). My father can’t even come visit, , and now K1 is brushed aside, at least I will have one of them to be with me because of my kids instead of having those feisty babysitters watching my kids. It’s so crazy.

sorry Amy it was posted in lawfully by another person I tried to do it to and it was showing the same. Ty

Amy I added your story onto my petition. check it just to make sure it updated please.

Thanks Jackie

Previous administration was extremely anti immigration even LEGAL immigration. They froze processing of K1 for several months so now there is a backlog of cases for the foreseeable future.

@Chris L wow I did not know that 😳

please watch the immigration live

USCIS ARE HIRING TO REDUCE BACKLOG PROCESS

@jackie You’re welcome

Hello! Anyone got approved of recent?

no Amy. 😢

@jackey: I did not get either.

@Amy Tops...I am not even looking until maybe May. I am July 20

@Esther Esther: I think I should do the same to avoid developing HBP…..mine is July 7th. I’ll create a distraction. let us keep praying.

@Amy Tops. yeah. let's keep praying. I videocall with my fiancé at least twice everyday and we text too multiple times a day. You're ahead of me so I will be on the lookout for you too.

you guys I sent the K3. out lawyer told us not to but I did it anyways since everyone is having really fast results from sending it. look into it

@Esther: My fiancé and I talk everyday after his work ….sometimes, we just doze off on the phone while talking. We just use the time to make our relationship tighter. I’ve known him since my childhood….It’s not easy, but we will get there. 😊 I listened to the zoom session on 03/02. I just hope they implement all the processing time suggestions the public gave. it will go a long way to know the real estimate time of when each will get a decision on his or her case.

@jackie: The K3 is faster than the K1 especially K1 filed with a Nigerian fiancé. Unfortunately, I can’t do K3 because I filed K1, not yet married. Going to Nigeria to marry now will require I file the I-130 and that will mean canceling the K1 and starting all over agin with I-130.

I think you can still do it but you have to pay the fee. Either way the K1 is supposed to be faster than the IR1 or the CR1. Let keep strong everyone.

K1 processing time changed to 10-13 months….date went back to February
