VisaJourney Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) We had a moment to pull some deep data from the State Department of Visa Processing in China. The results are enlightening. K1 Visa processing is WAY down. In fact it was at near zero for 12 months. In April we saw a bump back up at about 50% pre-Covid levels. IR1 Visa processing is back to pre-Covid rates. There was a huge surge in processing late last year to likely clear the backlog. Is this why no K1s were worked (all hands on IR1s)? CR1 Visa processing (couples married less than 2 years) has the same story as IR1s. Full details and a graph, here: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/764273-china-us-marriage-visa-approvals-by-month-k1-visas-way-down-cr1-visas-up/ Edited May 31, 2021 by VisaJourney (see edit history) 2 Link to comment
Martin B Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 I think fiancées were/are not included in the immediately relative category, hence the pause and long delay on K1s. IIRC there is a lawsuit going on with regards to that. Link to comment
