I was just checking the status on the uscis website. and on the bottom you can do the little calculation tool.

i entered I-130, for spouse, california center.

the results said national goal 5 months

national average 19 months

california center 35 MONTHS!

now it seems that most people are getting NOA2 in about 5 months, but what center was it sent to??? how do they decide to send it to california or vermont etc? why would they curse someone to the california center like that?

anyone else try the tool and get better results??? I really hope this is a miscalculation!

Those are the results for a permanent resident submitting an I130 for a spouse...etc. If you choose US citizen submitting for a spouse... you get 5/5/5.

The people getting their NOA2 in 5 months (sometimes less, sometimes a bit more) are US citizens.

My hubby got his visa in less than four months from our NOA1 date, so those timelines aren't always true!

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

1988-1998: Wrote "snail mail" letters/sent Xmas cards, but lived our separate lives. I married someone else, divorced in 2006...he lived with someone for years and then that ended.

10/08: Because of a series of random life events, I Googled my Finn Man and found him (but no link to his email, and the website his name was on was in Estonian so I couldn't even read it!). It took me two weeks to find a link to someone else, who forwarded my email to him (we were both single at the time thankfully!!!!). The email went to his spam folder but he happened to check it that day and responded back to me immediately! This was after 10 years of no contact and almost 21 years of not seeing each other after we first met.

11/08-5/09: We traveled back and forth to visit each other. Love at first (second?) sight!

7/09: Married in Helsinki, Finland...after meeting randomly 21 1/2 years ago and finding each other again!!!!!

8/13/09: I-130 sent!!!!!!!!!

Rest is on my timeline!

My fiancee is from japan too.. I received my NOA2 today Feb 8 from CSC. Total 88 days from filing NOA1. I also got RFE Letter but only took them 4 days to review it. I'm very excited.. Things will move a lot faster now.

I got NOA2 for almost 7 months after NOA1.We got a lot of touches but they only told us that we have RFE when our papers was already 6 months in USCIS.Dont rely on touches and USCIS timeline.Its all depend on the agent who will assigned to your case.
