I received our NOA1 today and my timeline says

"Based on timeline data, your I130 may be adjudicated between June 14, 2010 and June 27, 2010." (does this mean until the noa2?)

Does it REALLY take this long? How long after that does the process generally take? And while I'm waiting for the Noa2 should my husband and I be preparing for the rest of the process? Can we send anything else in or do we have to wait for a packet in the mail?

I'm sorry, I know all of this has probably been answered, I'm just extremely nervous, excited and a little confused. Any h help would be very much appreciated!

thank you!

Realistically, you can expect between 3 - 4 months until NOA2... Use this time to get ALL the paperwork for NVC together and learn the NVC shortcuts, it will make the NVC process very quick

Thanks for all your help.

how long does it generally take after the NOA2 before completion? I'm just wondering on average how long the entire process takes.

thanks

That's a key point. Interview dates are consulate dependent.

The entire process for us last year was 9 months from application submission to interview date.

You might get a better idea of time frames if you can follow timelines of filers from your consulate.

Good luck.
