K-1 I-129F time frame?

[Bayareaguy 156]

You give a range PLUS a variation to the range. Wow!

Does that mean then, 1-11 months?

or is it like 6 months, +/- 3 months, or

6 months, +/- 5 months.

Yes.

[cereal 84]

You've got probably at least 4 months to go.

[EegyptA 41]

sit back, put ur seatbelt on, it's going to be a long ride...............me and my fiance are still waiting...7.5 months waiting for NOA2

[Oregon Bound 30]

As others have said, it's a long and frustrating ride. All you can do is start to gather the other information needed for your actual Visa application.

My time from NOA1 to NOA2 was 180 days. Expect it to be about 6 months. Those average dates at the end of your timeline are approximates. My went up and down quite a bit near the end, but ended up getting the NOA2 over a week before the dates actually told me to expect it.

The best thing I could do was just forget about it. Distract yourself. You can start preparing for Packet 3, but maybe wait till month 4-5 for that lol.

So like almost everyone here I also filed my I-129F back in Jan 19th. Got NOA1 (hardcopy) Jan 25th. And the wait time continues, on and on and on and on. Anybody else file Jan of 2013? Anybody knows how long will it take to get my NOA2? Country is Dominican Republic. Any answer is greatly appreciated!

I am also a Jan 2013 filer. After going through all the communication related to the "duration" for K1 visa, I have decided to sit quietly & patiently till the next communication arrives from USCIS. That is the best solution I have found so far. There absolutely no point in wasting your energy on worrying about the time span.

The thing called 'Waiting'.

God bless your visa journey!

[bigdog 376]

Check out the existing waiting times among VJ members, then you will form your own hypothesis.

[Gosia & Tito 199]

FWIW, my estimate says:

Last month, it said "between January 20 and February 12". So this shows you how much to count on the estimates.

Estimates are just estimates based on data provided by others, the more data the better the estimates, the less data ...well you know it. That said, each case is really different; USCIS and DOS work in mysterious ways. When we were in the waiting club, we decided to suspend logic and common sense on the part of USCIS and DOS; and we slept better. The wait we had is now just a distant memory. We used the time to plan the move, and other things that we would need to do upon her arrival, as well as possible get together in her country or a third country, in the case processing would take longer, for example, we had decided on a vacation together at month 4 and then at month 8, if we didn't have the visa (we were on a K-1).

Good luck

we really don't want to make you disappointed, but after reading this

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/419943-csc-case-transfers-to-tcs-doesnt-help-here-is-why/page__gopid__6052030

it is really difficult to maitain ourselves peaceful.we were hoping that CSC got speed up, which seems like they are taking some method to go back to the processing time, but now it seems like NO, CSC keep accepting DACA cases,which will just be more and more.

it's a cruel reality, what shall we do?

Hi,

More or less you should be receiving something by June 5 Months away from NCOA 1. It take a while and the wait is the hardest. Good Luck!

[Chucklove 2]

We filed in Vermont in Aug 2012. Received an RFE late Feb and still waiting for NOA2. I don't want to get your hopes up, but I have heard that they work faster in the springtime. Has anyone else heard this?
