Our best friends took 9 months. So do you feel lucky?

Friends of mine coming from the same country and island as my fiancee took around 6 months altogether for the K-1 visa. How about luckier than some but less fortunate than others... But 9 months Baron, I would of taken it to somebody who would help me at that length of time.

Hey guys,

We got our NOA1 June 11 and no touches since June 17...

On Wednesday (10 November) we got an email from the Sydney consulate saying they had our approved petition and Package 3. YET no sign of NOA2 hardcopy and no updates online!! #######?

Anyway I just got home from work and what was waiting in our letterbox but the NOA2 - dated October 25!! Where was the notification 3 weeks ago!

I'm not complaining obviously!! but a pretty strange chain of events.

hi. last february 20, 2010 we filed our k1 petition but was denied last may 10, 2010. we are denied because we only submitted the form I-129F. we did not include other required documents such as proof of relationship, g-325, cover letter, etc. we did not research well.

this june 18, 2010 we refiled and got our noa1 last june 25, 2010. we now asked for a professional help and completed our form I 129f with all the package needed in assembling it.

2 days ago, we called uscis and asked about our petition because its nearing the 5 months mark estimate which is on nov. 25, 2010, but they told my fiancee that we will wait for another 4 months in the usual 5 months wait because our k1 petition is refiled. hope this is not true...if it is true it means our noa2 wait will be 9 months and we can get it on march 2012...

can this be true???...pls help!!!thank you very much and congratulations to those who got their noa2!

Hi Bulon,

You got your NOA1 in June so it is considered a new petition. The 5 months mark start from your NOA1 date which is June 25, 2010. Please be prepared for a long haul since CSC is behind. But, I don't think you will wait until March 2011 to get news.
