Hi Jignesh, welcome to the boards! I hate to tell you this, but you've probably got a good six months to wait, and that's if you're lucky. :( I got my NOA1 from CSC back on December 7, 2005, and I'm still waiting for the approval.

The process takes a different amount of time for everyone, some have gotten it in 3 months (pretty rare) and some have waited probably close to or over a year (pretty rare too). I hate to make a guess but I'd say 4-6 months on average, but even that is my opinion! You can look at the top of the site for the Immigration Timelines link and see averages for different service centers and embassies waiting times. California right now is taking awhile, we got our NOA2 in about two months. I don't know about India, you can ask over in the Foreign Embassy forum.

CONGRATULATIONS on your NOA1 receipt!

Best advice to give you is patience and frequent visitation of the VisaJourney website. This place is full of a wealth of information to answer questions before you even have to ask them. Perhaps you'll find the days flying by more quickly with all the informational gathering.

Hi and welcome!

If you click on "India" under your name, you'll be able to see other people who arew going through there and have a look at their timelines to see how fast/slow India are processing.

As others have said though, it does depend on your case...any issues or is it straight-forward?

You can also look at the general timelines for a K1 visa here.

And keep in mind what Rebecca says..."How long is a piece of string??" There really are no hard and fast rules to this process, just be patient and take every day as it comes.

Good Luck to you both :thumbs:

Hi Jignesh,

Welcome to the forum! My wife is also Indian and recently came over on a K1 visa. I filed the I-129F petition in Aug. 05' and she had her interview on Jan. 12th. I went through Texas and got transferred to California like yourself, so you can check my timeline for reference. My wife's interview was in Chennai and went very easily. Which consulate are you going through?

If you have any questions or need advice, please let me know. I know the wait to be with your loved one is difficult, but it is worth it when you are finally reunited :)
