I'm on day 136 of the K-1 and the incompetent fools still haven't even given the 2nd NOA, over on another internet group, there are people pushing 200 days--these aren't 'problem' cases like they didn't do their paperwork right or have a criminal history, just regular cases that BCIS 'hasn't gotten around to' yet. Meanwhile, of course, the 'expediated' H1-B's and TPS's and Vermont service center K-1's and K-3's are still getting 30 days or less service, and the illegals are still getting free medical treatment, schools and subsisdized housing with MY tax money. There is absoultly no excuse for the US government to be treating us this way and (in case you can't tell) I'm plenty mad about it--just don't know what to do about it--anybody got any ideas?

hey mike
my fiance was issued her visa stamp today. I started this process NOV 15, 2002. She will be here this time next week. I know the feeling I can tell you that when you finally get approval it moves very fast. 6 weeks from the 2NOA on average. Good luck

Hi Michael,

Actually the K-3’s are not processed at Vermont. All K-3’s & K-4’s go through the Missouri Service Center.

A guy on another forum just got his K-3 petition approved through Missouri in less than 3 weeks, so at the moment, the K-3 spousal option should be faster than the fiancée visa for most all cases, except maybe for Vermont K-1’s.

Most of that other stuff you were ranting about I agree with. Another guy just got his K-1 approval through Nebraska and it took 194 days! The system sucks, but it's all worth it in the end.
