USCIS K1 Fiance Visa Approval in ONLY Two Months !

Schedule Free Case Evaluation with Fred Wahl, the VisaCoach

So far this year, over a half dozen of my k1 visa clients have experienced their cases zooming through the USCIS approval stage in only two months.

Why is this amazing?

Well because during recent years USCIS has normally been taking 12 to 15 months to do the same amount of work. So my clients whose cases got approved by USCIS in only two months, are going to get their fiancés home to the USA a whole year sooner than anyone else.

In this video, I will explain what is going on, how long it may continue, and finally what you can do to take advantage of the situation.

I am Fred Wahl the VisaCoach.

I personally work with you preparing for you the forms and documents needed to bring your loved ones home to the USA, Unlike those common second rate services that abandon you once your application has been submitted, I remain with you providing support throughout this complicated immigration journey.

Now, let's talk about what’s happening at USCIS. How and why are applicants recently experiencing “USCIS K1 Fiance Visa Approval in ONLY Two Months !”

To bring your fiancé to the USA to marry, you must submit an application called a K-1  fiancé visa application. It is processed in step fashion by two sections of the US government, first at USCIS, which stands for United States Citizenship, and Immigration service, and then onto the US Department of State. USCIS first reviews your case stateside, then
forwards it to the State Department which in turn passes it on to a US Embassy in your fiancee’s country for consular interview and approval and printing of the fiancé visa.

But recently, amazingly, many of the brand new, k-1 visa cases we at Visacoach prepared for our clients that were sent to USCIS early this year, during February, March and April have already zoomed through the USCIS processing stage and were approved by USCIS in an AMAZING TWO months. Let me repeat. USCIS has recently taken only 2 months to approve new cases, versus the expected 15. For those lucky applicants, their cases,
have jumped ahead a whole year compared to cases submitted earlier.

So the big question is “How did USCIS go from 15 months processing time to only two?

I think I have the answer.

Unlike other branches of our government, USCIS is not funded by our income taxes, instead it funds itself solely through the fees it charges its clients.

That’s you and me, anyone applying for an immigration benefit, like permission to live, or work in the USA, wanting to get a green card or become a US Citizen.

For many years, USCIS complained that the fees they charged were not enough.

They wanted to increase charges to pay their bills, keep the lights on and attract and keep qualified employees. But first Congress had to approve the price increase. And year after year, Congress refused to go along with the request. For over a decade, again and again Congress denied their requests.

Until recently.

FINALLY a 20% fee increase was approved and took effect April 1.

Once it was clear that USCIS could expect more money coming in, they started to spend their increased budget by hiring new staff, upgrading procedures, and investing in new equipment.

I believe that new staff are currently being assigned and trained on K-1 visa cases. With no other assignments, and a new boss to impress, they are knocking them out of the park.

Cases submitted earlier had already been assigned to more experienced seasoned reviewers, their in-boxes are full, and cases sitting on their desks and are in process are still waiting 12 to 15 months to finally be approved USCIS, get their NOA2 and finally passed on to the State Department, .

Wow, I just filed my I-129F on June 20 and got my NOA-1 on July 9. The funny thing is that the NOA-1 actually has the date they received my application as June 24 and the "Notice" date as June 26 (I assume that's the date they prepared the I-797C NOA-1), and the envelope is stamped for July 1. I'm not sure why it took 8 days in the mail. I hope my NOA-2 comes within in 2 months.

How are the applications moving through at present? Thank you for your vids. They are excellent!

[PomelloRBLX]

Just submitted our I-129F on December 29, which arrived at post office box on January 2 and we got a text message acknowledging receipt today January 8. It looks like they initially got it in their system on January 6. Still waiting for the physical mail receipt and to be charged the $675 though. We're not too much in a hurry and I would honestly be happy with 9 months, which will give us enough time to prepare for the move for my fiancee and build up some extra savings. I'm just hoping the whole process goes smoothly...

Hi!
I heard that the time required for the process varies depending on each center.
If it is done at a center in Nebraska, is it likely that it will be less than 9 months even if I apply next year?

Hello visa couch, my fiancés k-1 visa appointment confirmation page has no ds-160 information. It only has the MRV fee barcode. Is this normal? During the process they never asked for the ds-160 number.

Applied on 17 Oct 2024 for K1 Visa, USCIS accepted the case on 21 OCT 2024, we got NOA 1 in 24 Oct 2024, now im waiting for NOA 2.

[ikib]

My case submitted on 30 august but didn't get NOA 1 with case number yet. How long do I have to wait?

[zerocool]

That’s awesome news! I received my NOA1 July 10 🤞🙏

[thonatim]

Let's be honest. You have nothing to do with USCIS being more efficient. As of today 24AUG, USCIS has slowed dramatically. I am at 2.5 months and counting.

PS, I have SRRV permanent residency in PH, does that help?

I wanted to post an update with my situation as it could help others. Our Petition was approved in September 2024, very fast after just 4 months. However, it took USCIS 3 months to send the file to NVC NVC processed the file within just 2 or 3 days and send it to the embassy. Once we received notice from the embassy, there were no appointments left in January 2025 before the I-797 expired. However, the embassy is aware that USCIS is taking a long time to send the file to NVC and when I inquired if I could schedule an appointment for an interview, they said it was okay and that the I-797 would still be valid. If anyone finds themselves in this same situation, just communicate with the embassy and get their approval (preferably in writing) to extend the validity of the I-797. Hopefully in the future, USCIS can make the validity of the I-797 for at least 6 months if they are going to use up half of the time before forwarding the file to NVC. Good luck to everyone!

[JanGamiao]

how long it takes to receive from uscis to nvc..noa 2 approval november 12..still waiting from nvc

[TheUnitedStatesofAmericaUSA]

It's true, the process is moving fast right now. Because it is an election year? Don't know but I'm happy. For us it was only 4 months. We were expecting to wait for a year. Edited: It was improved in 3 months, not 4 months.

[betinanew]

Please we want to lnow if it's the same for form I-129f for K3 visa ?
