Default K3 Visa - CA Service Center & US Embassy London

Hi
I'm now happily married to a US Citizen (we got married in England).
He has returned to California, and will start the K3 visa process. I'd appreciate anyone's advice on the following
- how long the process took for the K3 visa to be issued to you if you used California Service Centre and the US Embassy in London
- any warnings or advice about dealing with the CA service centre - is filing the petition all straight forward?
For some reason I got the impression that CA seem to take incredibly long with processing K3 visas... though I'd be happy to hear the contrary!
Thanks!

Congratulations on your marriage! I don't know how long it takes to process the I-129F at CSC, but just wanted you to know that it seems the I-130 process has been speeding up. You may end up getting your Immigrant Visa interview before the K-3 one. That would be a lucky break for you.

Best Wishes,
Rene

Hi:

It depends upon whether CSC rejects the misfiling or they accept it and then send it to NBC, where it should have been filed in the first place.
