I have been waiting also about 8 months and nothing yet ☹️

I contacted local reps (Congressmen and Senators) to see if they take a look into the backlog.

I have been waiting 253 days😢😢😢

I’m 307 days and nothing yet 😭

Has anyone done an inquiry since the case is outside of normal processing timelines? I did that and also contacted the Ombudsman and still have not heard anything.

I’m in the same boat as you. Same date. Just waiting….

Submitted an inquiry, and they wrote me back some stupid stuff telling me I’m not the petitioner or applicant.😑

Did anyone send in the requested documents before receiving a RFE?

I'm from April 9th. how do it get over to an agent when calling USCIS?

I'm also going to try a congressional inquiry next week

we all should call our representatives. tell everyone about it and let us do it together this weekend.

we are from the same day as NOA1 and still waiting for this approval

I watched a YouTube post today that in December 2019 USCIS was processing cases from 3 April "K Visa Processing Time 2021 (December).

Correction December 2021

Not sure how accurate that is

can u share that you tube vid?

thank you Keith I'm going to watch it now

The second video notes that USCIS is processing petitions from 25 April 2021.

I just watched it. they get these dates from the processing times posted on uscis but worded as case status inquiry date.

and don't forget that uscis just pushed the pressing times to 9.5 months just days ago

I saw that too indicating that in two months we could see it go from 9 to 11.5 months. Good analysis though

they update the processing times on their site at the beginning of esch month. the processing times sre an aggregate of the last six months of data. so the numbers going up month by month over the last few months means they are falling further behind. I also checked the other service centres today and found that only Cali is processing K1/K2 visas. i believe that last time i checked, Vermont was also but they had much longer times. perhaps they shifted all the k1/k2 workload to Cali which is slowing everything down? this is just speculation

that's good speculation. like I said earler I'm going to do a congressional inquiry next week and everybody should maybe they think that fiance visas isn't a top priority for them

thanks for the info on the congressional inquiries. I'm planning to do one as well now that you mentioned it. https://www.uscis.gov/congress/congressionalweb-portal/congressional-web-portal

USCIS congressional liaisons are committed to providing meaningful and timely responses to Members of Congress and their staff. To do so, we follow the following guidelines to help ensure that we satisfy our commitment and your expectations: • Telephone Inquires – Are best used when dialogue requires or when emergency situations exists that requires immediate attention. Congressional offices can typically expect a response by close of business next day. However, telephone access may be impacted by workforce changes due to the current COVID-19 pandemic. • Email Inquiries – Are great for simple status check and requests regarding USCIS policies and procedures. Congressional offices can typically expect an acknowledgement or response within five (5) business days and resolution within 30 calendar days. • Written Inquiries – Are recommended when a case is complicated, and USCIS will need to review documents. Written inquiries should be limited in number, as they take longer to resolve. Congressional office should expect a response within 30 calendar days.

Panama 🇵🇦

any news?

Sorry posted to the wrong chat. Nothing yet but talking to others 14 months was the wait time for some during the height of COVID-19 before receiving their visa. I'm preparing for the long haul and at least I have a better idea of what to expect. I was hoping for visa in hand by 10 months but after some discussion that doesn't seem likely.

Especially after contacting a number of representatives, i.e. congressman and senator.

I hope for the best for all of us and speedy visas

that is disheartening man. but im afraid you are right. good luck for all of us.

guys! does anyone know how to get to an agent while calling uscis? this is frustrating

go to their website and use ask Emma then ask for that. it is just live chatting.

Emma is useless. talking to a live agent over the phone is better. I tried Emma chat last time and both agents where clueless and rude. I believe there is something to say that prompts the machine to transfer you to a live agent

maybe the word officer?

I don't think so. I use to say the word expedite then it took me to an agent bit it doesn't work anymore 🙃

i think they ran out of reasons to why they are insanely late. guilty and they are hiding:)

they approved one from Afghanistan today. noa 1 November 22 2021. two months only

where do you get your information?

visa journey

this page is for k1 California service center

oh ok thank you. i think the Afghanistan one was serving in military. they do it fast.

Really, service in the military gets a quicker expedite? Thanks for sharing the link.

i believe they get engaged while serving overseas and their applications go through the military. i guess they are considered special cases.

no they are giving afghans special treatment due to the us military sudden withdrawal that caused a mess. my own analysis btw. look at the uscis website. the afghan crisis is on top of the page

interesting thanks for the heads up. I had no idea.
