Is this predicted visa process reasonable?


Recommended Posts

My finance sent the application last week. Can someone take a quick look at my predicted timetable below and tell me if it is somehow applicable?

Just assume that my case will be normally processed.

P1: 08-01-2005

P2: 08-18-2005

P3: 10-12-2005

P4: 02-16-2006

Interview: 04-15-2006

 

I hope that my interview will at least be arranged before late August when my school starts...

Yes, this does look reasonable. You must remember that sometimes papers can be delayed at one step in the process for no understandable reason. Some of the processing between P1 and P2 can take longer depending on the office he is required to use to process the application.

 

I would expect the interview to be completed before the school year begins.

 

Welcome to CFL, I hope you find this place helpful.

The application is going through VSC...

 

I agree, timeline looks reasonable... Only small twick might be the P3 is about a week or so too early. I would adjust it back about 7 days. No need to expect anything too early a date and then be anxiously waiting.

 

With the consulate move occuring in Aug, we'll soon see any time saved on the post side...

 

Best to you two..

 

Welcome to CFL !! :D

For your sake I hope your numbers are true!!

 

After having waited 13 months for our visa, I'm still a bit skeptical, but it could happen!

 

Study the whole process carefully so you don't leave anything out and get a RFE.

Good Luck!!

Steve, you are seeing the difference between filing in California and filing in Vermont :D

 

California Service Center = 4 to 5 months :D

 

Vermont Service Center = 2 to 4 weeks :D

Based on everyones experience it is best not to make certain plans as anything can happen.

 

Your schedule sounds possible if there are no delays, which includes mailing delays. Below are all the people from CFL and 001 who went through VSC for the past year. Oldest first to most recent of K1's only.

I agree.

I couldn't find the visa type you are applying for, is it K-1, K-3 or what? but no matter, still hoping you will have pain free processing... other than the agony of waiting!!!

Looks like you already got your answers but let me say, Welcome!

 

You have arrived at the Official Waiting Room of the Great GUZ. Pick a comfortable seat because you will be there awhile. Read anything in the forums that interests you. Avoid the ones that are obvious panic attacks during the wait and just hang loose. It will all come about in time.

 

You do like goats don't you?

My guess at possible problems and delays could include :

 

VSC - RFE , (probable delay of 3 weeks or more, if returned quickly)

NVC - namecheck (1-6 months)

GUZ - customs delay (1 month ?)

GUZ - namecheck #2 (1-6 months, or more)

GUZ P3 - mailed to petitioner (1-2 weeks)

GUZ P3 - mailed P4 by mistake (1-2 weeks)

GUZ p4 - mailed to petitioner (1-2 weeks)
