3-5 months??

[LaPrincesa 0]

Hi Everyone!!!

I just was looking at timelines and I have noticed that it is taking about 3-5 months for being who filed after September. Is this correct? Anyone get their NOA2 before 3 months or wayyyyy past 5 months? It is difficult to know because some people are stilling waiting who filed in JUly but there are others who filed in September and even October and just received their NOA2s.

I am not anxious or anything because I want to actually get married this summer and need to finish this semester of law school...but just wanted to get an idea of when to expect a NOA2.

Also, anyone have a recent experience with the Kingston embassy and their interview/processing times.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

I filed in mid September and have not received my NOA 2 yet. I think it is coming within the next month for sure. So.....In your case, I would anticipate an NOA 2 around the end of April. Keep in mind there are those lucky people that will actually have their visa stamped in their passport in 5 months so you never know what to expect. Also, you are at the Vermont Service Center and they are noticeably faster than CSC.

Welcome to the world of VSC or CSC........I filed June 5....still waiting like several others who filed the same time....It is hard to wait 7 months when others wait 3 but they say they complete in order they recieve......It is a lie....so hope you are one of the lucky ones

At the moment it totally appears to depend on the service center you are with. Vermont seems to be plodding on quite nicely... California? Well - there are bunches of July filers still waiting and it took me 5 months to get my NOA2...

If you filed in September and are with Vermont I'd guess you're ok... if you filed with CSC then you may have a bit of a wait on your hands...

3 to 5 months is a very reasonable expectation, most cases are approved within that timeframe

You really don't know....that is the problem for planning anything...it could happen on the short end the middle or the long

end of the stick....and then if you run into any RFE's or other problems you could be held up longer...

My advice is to be careful and don't make permanent plans on things that you will lose money over...we did and lost

a lot....wedding, plane tickets, honeymoon plans etc.....
