Does anyone have any data that would indicate if the 6.5 month trend holds true for all embassies, regions, etc. Or do some regions/embassies take longer and thus skew the trend lines?

How about if the filer used a visa service, where they preview the completeness of the documents, etc. before they are submitted. Has this improved the time line trends for a statistically significant number of VJ'ers?

I have been talking with 2 different visa service guys and they told me that they were having clients getting approved for their I-130's in 5.5 months, so I am wondering if the two questions above make any difference to the time we have to wait.

It's so very frustrating to see how VSC can just 'omney-domney' these things in 2 months and BAM! their approved. How can the processes and procedures be SO DIFFERENT at two identical government agencies?

That link is for K1 visas. The OP is requesting an IR-1/CR-1 visa.

Excluding expedite requests the current time between NOA1 and NOA2 at CSC is about 6.5 months. Based on historical trends this should improve over the next few months and drop to 5 months or less.

My apologies, I missed that part.

01/07/2012 Mailed I-129F to Dallas Lock Box

01/10/2012 Accepted, Sent to CSC for Processing

01/12/2012 Touched

01/14/2012 NOA1 Hard Copy Recieved
