Visa Process

[Amit-N-Melody 11]

I called the USCIS last week and asked them about the processing times, and when I should recieve the NOA2... They told me that it takes 5 months to get the approval or NOA2.. is this correct? I thought that it was 5 months to go through the whole process.. <just shows how naieve I am> But if it took 5 months to get a NOA2.. then the case is sent to VSC and then that is where it moves more quickly.. I am thinking 2-3 months after the NOA2... Is my thinking correct? PLZ PLZ correct me if I am wrong <fingers crossed hoping I am>

This is for a CR-1 or K-3 visa for a spouse

SO, in an ideal situation with no hold ups, no RFE's or anything would the normal wait time before your spouse would be in the US be around 8-9 months from the first NOA1?

theoretically possible... but many things can influence the speed (or lack thereof) even after the approved petition makes it to NVC and or the Consulate
