Sep 08 NOA1, then nothing?

[Ryan H. 0]

I sent in I-130 Aug 20, 08 and am still waiting for NOA2.

We are going I-30 route. I called USCIS but just receive the below via automated voice message. I'll try calling tomorrow to talk to an actual person? Seems like a long time waiting....my patience has worn out? I sent in a full I-130 with two affadavit of bona fide marriage and some bank transfers to show comingling of financial resources. I'm wondering if my package was insufficient in some way? Any thoughts appreciated from this forum.

The USCIS expected wait time for processing is 6 months. In reality that is +/- 1 to 3 months. They tell you that if you've gone past 6 months then you can start contacting them to ask for expedited processing. But you are not to the 6 month point yet.... maybe you could try for a visit with your spouse...?

Good Luck and best wishes.

I've seen K-3 take up to 8 months to get approval. There are still people from June and July waiting to be approved. It takes a lot of patience.
