K1 Visa - Did they eliminate one of the Processing Centers for K1?
I was just verifying the processing times portal for I-129F and I noticed that it's now only California that is processing K1 visas. I remember before I filed that there was at least another center that processed K1's. Perhaps this is why it's taking so long. There are five processing centers for I-129F, and only California processes K1's.
I'm curious as to why they did this?

mine is 9

The purpose of the post was that they eliminated processing centers that process K1's down to one. This will effect everyone'stimeliness. I remember when I filed it was 5 to 8 months. This what is holding everyone who filed a K1 up. It's self evident that K1 visas are no longer a priority

they take so long
menelas sabieJan 16, 2022
I'm really mad
menelas sabieJan 16, 2022
my case is outside normal processing time
A. W.Jan 16, 2022
If it is 9 months, according to the new timeline, 9.5 months is the new time. This is infuriating.
menelas sabieJan 16, 2022
when I call USCIS they tell me 7 to 9 .5 months I don't understand the 9 .5 months
menelas sabieJan 16, 2022
The try to said 9 months or 10 months
Cea DikeJan 16, 2022
I hope someone knows the answer to this because why would they go from more than 1 service center to just 1?? 😠it doesn’t make sense to me
Cea DikeJan 16, 2022
I also noticed that before filing. I’m March 15th…still waiting
A. W.Jan 16, 2022
Cea, you should hear something any day.
menelas sabieJan 16, 2022
can I send USCIS a letter for my case
A. W.Jan 16, 2022
From what I have seen on other posts about others that have done this, it hasn't done any good. The best thing to do is somehow get someone on the phone. I have seen posters that have done this, but there is a certain way to get someone on the phone
baffoe StephenJan 16, 2022
how can you get some one on phone
A. W.Jan 16, 2022
I dont know

Vermont and California usually process the K-1. Is it now only California?
A. W.Jan 16, 2022
Yes Jessica. Check the USCIS site. Vermont only does K3 and K4:now

when you call and get the automated machine message just say want to schedule a appointment or info pass..

I wonder if the nearly 100,000 refugees from Afghanistan or nearly 2 million illegal immigrants turning themselves into our system asking for asylum has overloaded the system, so they are reallocating their resources.
JJ PJan 17, 2022
yeah that's probably true and one of multiple reasons why it's taking longer. I wish Bidens administration would do something to help catch up on the backlog so people can reunite with their loved ones.
Kay KayJan 17, 2022
please i news information on K3 visa
EDWARD VASQUEZJan 18, 2022
let's thank Mr. Trump for that
A. W.Jan 18, 2022
The previous administration was scrutinizing these petitions more. I heard from a immigration attorney that they were checking previously APPROVED petitions twice. Among other things that made legal immigration more cumbersome
Fiorella BerrioJan 27, 2022
Vermont only process applications with a bad background
JJ PJan 27, 2022
Fiorella, how do you know that Vermont is processing applications with complicated & bad background ? So does that mean when other service centers have tough bad background applications then they send them to Vermont ? Don't think that's accurate..
A. W.Jan 27, 2022
JJ P I think she is partially right. I have seen threads where they say that Vermont gets transferred "complicated" cases. And it takes longer there. And I think I remember seeing that Vermont processed K1's there at one time and it was MUCH LONGER. But now it's not showing up at all as a center that processes K1's
A. W.Jan 30, 2022
And I just looked today and they pushed the estimates AGAIN to 9 to 12 months. What are they doing???!😡😠🤬

ACM EDec 4, 2022
This saddens me so much.. They stated my case would take 10 months and it just kept increasing from there... Now its a 15.5 estimated time to process K1 cases now.. I filed in Dec 23 2021
A. W.Dec 4, 2022
We actually got approved on October 7th. Now we are awaiting the case number from NVC.
ACM EDec 5, 2022
Hello A.W. I am glad to hear that! How long did it take them to approve your case?
A. W.Dec 5, 2022
My NOA1 was August 2nd. So 14 months and 5 days
