Just to be specific:

the I-130 is a petition. It is NOT an application.

After the petition is approved the case is sent to the NVC. At the NVC the beneficiary will become the visa applicant. They apply for the visa via the DS-230 (or DS-260 for online forms countries.)

The above is completely correct.

*** Thread shifted from CR-1 Process forum to the Case Progress subforum -- OP is asking about timing rather than process. ***

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

The more I read these forums, the more I realize how lucky I actually was. My petition was approved in a little over 3 months. Not sure how, or why...

Praying that all of you get your NOA2s soon, I remember I used to refresh the case status page 50 thousand times a day. Then, one weekend I went away to stay with my parents ( As per my husband's suggestion, because I was getting so frustrated with looking at INITIAL REVIEW ). I came back home and got the good news that they had approved it that same Saturday :-)

Keep the faith everyone, we will be with our loved ones soon...
