Got my NOA1, Visa Schedule

[tallfrond 2]

Well I received NOA1 from CSC the other day dated June 1, and the most recent date on the USCIS site is June 7, so I suppose that counts as a touch right?

I went over the current processing times at CSC, NVC and Montreal in some detail, and whipped up a schedule of estimated timeframes for the K-1 process. You can see it here: http://www.tomsplanner.com/public/k1visa/ (Tom's Planner is a great tool btw) I was fairly conservative on this schedule but reading the latest woes and worror stories about Montreal on here I'm curious what you all think. Our case is really straightforward, no previous applications or marriages, no children, no crimes...is it likely to take longer than the four months of consulate processing time currently showing as Montreal's average?

not to be a downer or anything but, i don't think there is any method to predicting when regardless of how straightforward your case is. really, just get used to the idea of not knowing and no telling.

valerie78 is right, sadly...

Even though CSC seems to handle paperwork faster, once it gets to Montreal you're in for a long and frustrating wait. Our I-129F was approved after 4 months, and our P3 was logged in in late April. Still waiting on a date from Montreal. IF we get a date in August, it will have taken Montreal 3 months to give a date, and that's only if we do get a date in August. In the P3 cover later, it's said to expect a date in 4 to 6 months...

Keep your chin up, you'll get there eventually

We have a very straight forward case too, just like you. Not to mention my fiance is in the military and I have worked for the military as well... you'd think we'd be good to go but it's been 2 months since our NOA1. From what I've learned a straight forward case doesn't make a difference at this time... only a very complicating case that requires further info. I would stick with expecting to wait the average amount of time. Sorry!

Well! You all seem to have misunderstood me a bit. All I was asking was, is there something bad going on with Montreal right now that isn't reflected in the current 117-day average being shown for K-1s? I'm not expecting anything fast, just wondering about Montreal because I saw a lot of horror on the forums about it. What I'm wondering is, is that "four-month horror" or "twelve-month horror?" We can handle 4-6 months (ie, after NVC so a Jan-Mar interview date for our June 1st NOA1).

And no one commented on my nifty schedule!!
