K1 Processing Slowdown
Does anyone have any idea why so few K1 visas have been processed over the past month? They were averaging at around 2,000-ish approvals per month when we submitted earlier this spring, then June was 980, and July just passed 100 and we’re 2/3 of the way through the month. Percentage approved hasn’t changed much, so it appears like they just aren’t processing applications at the same speed as before. I thought maybe the World Cup was part of it but wanted to know if anyone else has heard what’s going on. I keep praying that God gives us our approval quickly so we can finally start our life together!

I submitted Nov.5.2025 no progress. Thought was 6 months processing but not at all.

They are really slow, I also thought it was because of the World Cup but no, so from November 7th K1/K2 waiting for approval

ya I see that and from what I can see average is about 10 months but if they stopped processing that's not good!
