The whole process takes 8-9months from start to finish. 5months at USCIS, 1-2months at NVC depending on you being proactive, and 1-3months at the consulate depending on how busy your consulate is. You are only a few months into the processing so just be patient. It will soon come

Citizenship next step!

Im a US citizen and petitioned my husband from Philippines on Oct 5, 2010. I got the NOA1 on that date. Still waiting for NOA2. Does the approval ussually take this long??? Anyone on the same situation. Please help!

I'm confused by your post. You say you filed a petition for your husband and that you're a US citizen, which would be an I-130, IR1/CR1. Yet your profile says you filed for an FB2 which is for family members of an LPR, not a US citizen. If you filed an I-30(which you should have), the wait time between NOA1 and NOA2 is typically 5 - 6 months. It could be shorter, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Hi George, thanks for the reply. Im sorry if I got you confused coz I was thinking about the visa I filed for my husband. Yeah I filed I 130 for my husband, I just got naturalized Sept.2010. Reading your reply made me feel better. I was reading the other websites and some cases were approved 2 months time only. I feel relieved now. Thanks again guys.
