USCIS changed processing times... what's it all mean?

[LexiMStL]

I saw today that the USCIS Vermont center changed their K1 and K3 processing times. Instead of giving a spefcific date, they're saying 6 months.

What exactly does that mean? Does that mean they diefinately process the apps in 6 months? That would be great if that's the case.

Also... how long (aproximately) does the app stay with the NVC before it gets sent to the embassy?

Thanks!

Hi there, I am not sure about the processing times. In my case NVC sent our case electronically and by regular mail. So, it was at my husband's embassy in @ 4-5 days probably sooner. NVC told me over the phone when it was sent and received, just have your case number ready 1 603 334 0700. I received the fee bill $70.00 in about a week to 10 days after it was approved.I sent in the 70.00 because it said that they would not proceed unless I paid this 70.00 fee. NVC sent me a lot of paperwork. It was somewhat confusing because I was not aware that I had to choose one (I-129f or I-130.) 1st $70 then $400.00. We did not pay the $400.00, we went with the K-3 visa because I heard that it was faster this way.
Good Luck to you and yours.
