Hello, Does anyone have any information on the California Service Center current processing time? My fiancee is in China. Our K-1 / I-129F (NOA1) Petiton was received at the CSC July 19, 2012. We received the NOA1 approval shortly thereafter. As of today February 1, 2013, it has been over 6 months and more exactly 198 calendar days since the USCIS CSC received our petition. The USCS webpage reports CSC processing time for K-1 to be 5 months with a national average of 7.2 months. In a few weeks we will have been waiting 7 months for the I-129F (NOA2) to be approved. Do this sound normal? Is anybody else out there still waiting beyond 6 months for their I-129F (NOA2) approval. What is taking so long? We'd love to hear your stories. Anybody have any advise? Thanks you for your help.....

Sorry buddy, the Deferred Adjudication casefiles had precedence for some time at CSC.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

[Thank you for sharing your story. It it reassuing to see there are so many people in the same situation. The waiting is really frustrating. If no NOA2 after 7 months, I going to request a Congressional inquiry for you case. Any advise about how to submit a Congressional inquiry would be appreciated. Thank you PanAn ]
