The thing is..... the way VJ members get the data to tell people how long each step in this process takes............. is from people kind enough to share their timelines of their own visa process.

So, when people do not fill out their timeline then we do not have data to share

Good luck

Here is a list from Egypt spouse interviews for the last year or so. You can see how long people waited and if they are female or male

And a list of those in AP.

I think having timelines and data is very helpful to others. It helps calm people to know how long each person took in this process.

This data is powerful. People can see that some people wait 7 days for their visa and most men will wait 2 months. Some men with common names like Ahmed and Mohamed may wait in AP for many months. But some Ahmeds and Mohameds do not get AP at all.

I hope you decide to fill out your timeline to help others as these peoples data has helped you

I would fill out my timeline everyone but I had my case origonally handled by a law office and I am unsure of the dates things where sent out because I provided the documents to them and they would mail them out. So my filling it out isnt going to help many people seeing as it wont be right or even accurate. Thats why i dont have it filled in, im not doing it to be selfish. If i could help people i would but i dont wont to use dates not even close. But Thank you for that big time line that helped a lot !!

You are welcome

All dates for noa1 and noa2 are on the mail they sent. Or on the uscis website. Nvc can be obtained by calling them. And you know your interview datw. But I understand.

I am glad the timelines help you

Good luck for a quick ap

My husband was placed on AP - his interview was October 9, 2012. I was just curious (i know that we dont know an exact time ever) how long it took you or your other to be approved.?

My husband is Palestinian living in Italy and he has been in AP for 6 months and counting.
