Hey just curious but how long is it taking Missouri (did I spell that right?) to
process the K-3? I sent mine in in mid-April but I still get the same old "we sent
you a receipt with approximate processing times" when I call to check on it. I
noticed some of you who sent yours in around late April were just starting to get
approved....Is 2.5 months about normal? I tried to call the MSC but it always says
"no live help available" and to "call the National Service Center" who tell me they
have no access to any information from the MSC.
Signed,
Impatient (understandably I hope)

I applied 4/26, action date is 4/29. Haven't gotten anything in the mail yet. The MSC phone system really sucks!!!

My I-129F receipt date is April 10th, and have heard nothing. I've been in touch with
five other couples that recieved the second NOA within a week or two of mine. One of
the couples was approved in May, and another in June. This is taking so LONG, and is
so sad!!!!! I wish I had gone the K-1 route - just read a post where someone claims
to have obtained a K-1 in one month. That hurts. Sheryl
