USCIS Service Centers Processing Dates

[MandyAlex]

Hello everyone! I'm in the final process of getting my K-1 petition packet ready to be mailed out for my fiancée. I've searched this forum and online for updated answers to my concerns to no avail and was wondering if anyone could chime some information to my concerns.

I live in Florida and understand the processing of my petition will be handled by the Vermont Service Center (VSC). Please correct me if I'm wrong, (since I have come across contradictory information), some stating Florida's residents petitions are handled by the Texas Service Center, (TSC), while others claiming Vermont's. How long of a wait could I expect, beginning to end?

As of today February 5, 2016, Vermont's Service Center shows a time frame of 5 months in the process of I-129F's petitions. On the other hand, TSC is currently showing roughly 10 1/2 months for the same petition, (processing date of March 26, 2015), Both Center's reports are dated November 30, 2015. How soon does this reports get updated? Are current petitions handled by one of 3 Service Centers, Texas, Vermont and California? Can anyone from Florida inform me where their petition ended at?

Finally, does anyone has more current information why the Service Centers are taking so long? Attorney Gary Ball has a very complete and informative report online regarding the subject but is way outdated of April 2003. Why so much disparity between Service Centers in the process times of I-129F petitions?

I kindly appreciate any and all information provided. Good luck everyone!

I live in Florida and filed for my fiancé visa on January 28 2016. I send documents to Texas, on February 3rd I got NOA1. On Thursday, March 24 2016 I got email from USCIS in which they inform me that my case has been approved. It took them less then 2 months to approve. I little skeptical that they have already approved it because it has been so quick, I hope they didn't make a some mistake.
I hope this help.
