I was hoping to start a thread to find out how many people have filed their paperwork recently!

I feel a little disappointed to see that it could be as long as a year and a half before this comes to an end. At first we were under the impression that it would be less than a year (at one point he thought maybe around 8 months).

At least we have started and (hopefully) we will see an end to all this someday! :)

Congratulations to those who have started their journey!

My wife just filed for me just two weeks back. Hopefully not that long of a journey...just checked the USCIS website and they have 5 mos. national average processing for a visa decision...I wish it's true or faster than that would be a lot better. Congratulations too!

Think positive! It may not take as long as you think if every thing runs perfect. Make sure everything is in order and you have all of your original documetnts and you've done your homework!

I know for sure it took us 5 months through USCIS, but NVC not so long as I thought for sure I wouldn't see an interview until May, 2011, but it's in February, so there is a lot of good hope out there!!

Good luck on your journey!

Minus some mistakes my wife and I made. It took us 8 or 9 months in total to be done with the process (just got approved). It doesnt take a year. Research research and have any documents ready well in advance. Look further ahead in the stages and fill out copies of forms to be ready when the time comes. When it comes to things like getting copies of police records, have the infomation ready to be able to obtain copies fast. Make sure your passport is valid. Renewal takes time. All those little things. Oh and always use express post. The fastest way. When dealing with the NVC it payed off big time. I probabley saved a month in time! The CR-1 guide is good on here until you deal with the NVC. After that Google ''NVC shortcut''

Good luck.
