I would suggest you look at the current embassy stats at http://www.visajourney.com/content/times

We are filing for the same visa as you and our application was rerouted to the California Service Center due to an overflow in Texas. For us, the times posted on the link I provided where right on the mark. The time between our NOA1 and NOA2 was about 5 months. My fiance got her letter from the embassy requesting an interview and instructions on how to prepare about a month after that.

If you don't hear form them in 5 months or so, I would call. You can also track the status of your case on the USCIS website by entering the receipt number located on your NOA1.

I believe the time frames vary based on case load for the service center processing your application. I have found that the statistics on this site are invaluable for the long wait.

Good luck and be patient. These things don't happen over night.

Not going to give you false hope, anything is possible. With that said you're petition could be the exception to the rule. Which does seem to be coming up on a year. The exception would be 100 days. Good Luck :-) and stay optimistic.

We filed ours in July and it was approved like... two days before Christmas (hell of a present). Anyway, in the mean time you both should get some good web cams, and try to figure out your work/vacation and make at least a couple plans to get over to the Philippines if you can.
