Apparently its 5-7weeks for priority visa. And I think double the waiting time for non-priority.

Do you think Easter will make them work harder so we can spend Easter holidays with our spouses by any chance? Its my 3rd week of waiting and I just feel like I cant wait any more. Ive only paid rent until 15th April and I dont wanna pay rent after that and then get a visa, cuz it will be a waste of money. I feel like I am in such a limbo waiting like this.

Unfortuantely the waiting times are what they are.  They usually only put in extra hours if the backlog is extreme or if they are trying to hit a service standard target for the period.  Hang in there.  Soon this will be a distant memory!

I don’t think that they will work harder because of Easter. And also our problem is that we applied from non-US countries, so no one knows in which pile of documents our applications are...

First time I applied for a fiancé visa from France mid November, we were really hoping that we get decision by Christmas, but received it 19 January instead... (2 months)... 43 bd

I am not positive on quick decision this time at all. There are Easter holidays this week, and lots of bank holidays in May.

I waited 11 months for the US visa to come through for my hubby. This is nothing!
