USCIS updated their published processing times on July 31st, 2017.

The chart will show most of the types of forms processed at the field office or service center.

If the field office or service center is meeting its goal for processing a form, you will find the timeframe listed in months.

For example, if the office is processing I-129F applications in five months or less, then the chart will say “5 months.”

However, if the office is experiencing a processing delay, you will find the filing date of the last case that the office completed before updating the chart.

The K-1 fiancé visa is available to same-sex couples since the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturned of key portions of DOMA.

Per the regulations you are required to prove 1) that you are a U.S. citizen, 2) that the two of you have met face to face in person within the last two years, 3) that the two of you plan to marry within 90 days of your intended’s entry into the United States, 4) and that your partner is not inadmissible to the U.S. for health, crime, security, past unlawful presence in the U.S., or other reasons.

After your fiancé arrives in the U.S., you are required to marry within 90 days, and then prepare and submit your new spouse’s adjustment of status (green card) application.

You will want to get married in a State that recognizes same sex marriage.

Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) June 23, 2011 decision, Matter of Le.

The Board’s long-awaited ruling favorably resolves the issue of whether the child of a fiancée of a U.S. citizen (a K-2 visa holder), who legally entered the U.S. when under age 21, is eligible for adjustment of status even after turning age 21. The Board concluded that the age of the child is “fixed” at the time the child is admitted to the United States.

In doing so, it rejected the Department of Homeland Security’s position that a K-2 visa holder is eligible only if he or she is under 21 at the time the adjustment of status application is adjudicated.

The Board’s decision is consistent with the position that the American Immigration Council and the American Immigration Lawyers Association advocated in amicus briefs submitted to the Board in approximately a half dozen other cases where the child turned 21 after being admitted to the United States.

The noncitizens in these and the many other cases before both Immigration Judges and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services offices throughout the country now will be able to become lawful permanent residents as Congress intended.
