Holy cow! Just the other day my fiancee was expressing sadness that we had received no news on our K-1 application, outside of the first NOA-1 we received 7 days after mailing it off. Since I just filed in November, I tried to explain to her that it could be many more months before we heard anything. Tonight I just received our NOA-2, just two months after filing! Not a single "touch" either. Strange...but I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth either. :dance:

In happy moments... PRAISE God.

In difficult moments... SEEK God.

In quiet moments... WORSHIP God.

In painful moments... TRUST God.

At every moment... THANK God.

Yes, I feel very fortunate and I'm not sure where my luck came from. I'm sort of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Now it will probably be 8 months before it gets sent to the Consulate. :D

Congratulations! I hope the speedy process continues for you. Just so you know, our documents arrived at the Embassy in Moscow 7 days after NOA2. Now the wait REALLY begins.

I have a heck of a time interpreting the time line charts and graphs. Do you know what the average time line from the Embassy receiving documents to date of interview is?

Congrats! I hope I'm not far behind you. Have you done your timeline? Plug the dates from your sig into your timeline function and it may help you get an idea of wait times.
