The K1 Experience

Well the USCIS California processing center seems to have taken the better part of a month off. At least as far as processing k1 visa requests. The second update in Janurary is out and as of the 24th they are still on the 18th of october. This Means we are 1 month in since our paper work was receieved... and no closer to having it looked at. Welcome to the world of Government paper work I suppose. Did I mention this was very frustrating ? Lets look at the other centers. Texas (supposedly the service center for my state) dosn't have a 129f processing date at all now. Nebraska is up to November 29th... I almost wish I hadn't looked at that one. Vermont, I take it back... I really didn't want to look at Vermont. They are on December 10th. Here is hoping they just forgot to update the California number... if anyone is still supposed to be going through Texas I hope they just left it off by accident.

Well the first Update on the processing dates of the new year is out and they are unchanged. So from Dec 18th through Jan 6th the USCIS center in California (And Texas) made no apparent progress on 129f forms. They are still processing October 18th. I have seen this happen a few times before. One time three straight udpates (about a month and a half) saw the date remain the same for the Texas Center. One would think they managed to get at least a day or so of forms processessed in 19 days or so even if it was the holidays. Ah well... hopefully the next one will pick up the slack and advance it up into November.
