CR-1 Timeline

[rgfox 10]

I do not see how the timelines shown for CR-1 processing on this site are accurate. The data does not reflect it at all. Right now the chart at (http://www.visajourney.com/content/ir1cr1historical) says that CSC is taking roughly 76 days from NOA1 to NOA2. Baloney! My NOA1 date was June 27 2011 and there is nothing special about my petition as far as I know: no criminal record, one previous marriage each to someone native to our own countries, relationship with my wife and visits fully documented. That is 120 days and still no NOA2. When I look through the individual stats I see some lucky souls that have got their NOA2 very quickly, in 3 months... how or why, I have no idea. But I see nothing that reflects this 76 days. This process is not fair, or equitable, and I wish this site would accurately report timelines so as not to raise my expectations! Is there a moderator or someone that knows about the process who can give me an accurate time for an NOA2? Or tell me where this 76 days is coming from?

Thanks!

I just called the USCIS Customer Service center to see if there was anything else they could tell me, i.e. why would one application take 76 days and another, like mine, take 4 months and counting; and they said it's up to the individual office and they couldn't speculate as to why. I already knew before I called, but I called anyway, like a hail Mary pass; they were polite and professional and all, as was I, but they could not tell me anything beyond that the processing time is estimated (not guaranteed) to be 5 months and I had to wait at least that long before they could check into anything. Grrr!

The timelines you were looking at here on VJ are not inaccurate, they are merely averages based upon members timelines here on VJ, so you can not take them as a guarantee of when you will receive your NOA2. I'm not quite sure why some people have been approved in as little as 5 days or can take up to 10 months but I know USCIS does take into account what country the beneficiary is from and what evidence you have submitted to them. So just hang in there and I'm sure you will get your NOA2 soon.
