how many months did u receive your NOA2?

[stevie b 141]

Now, no! but mine was approved in 3 month and a few people who applied in the same date they also received within 3 or 4 month. but we applied on 2011. My hubby has not a military background

a lot happens in two years eh??

yeah I know earlier petitions were faster and hopefully that will return soon, but these days is progressing to the five month mark again after hitting ten+ for some members

i filed last February and still i haven't receive my noa2. my fiance is in the philippines.

Which service center did your file go to, and what date is your NOA1? It either goes to California Service Center or Vermont Service Center. If yours was sent to VSC,anything prior to Feb 25ish was sent to Texas Service Center to handle their backlog, and you should expect a decision in 1-2 months. If you were left at VSC, they're processing a bit slowly through the files they have left, so it could be anything from 1-2 months more for you. If you were at CSC, they are almost 60% done with February from the info we have on Igor's list. I would say you'd likely hear a decision within 1 month

We got ours in 5 months. CSC filer.

[topoftherock2013 23]

We got our noa2 exactly 4 months from first filing with VSC.

Good luck!

It depends on many factors. A backlog in the system (which they seem to be clearing up with the transfers to Texas); how quick the case officer works; if you submitted a complete package (no need for RFE) and the straightforwardness of the case. The case officer handles multiple cases at a time and if the relationship is easier for them to determine to be legitimate (good, longer-term evidence) then the quicker they can approve your case. Military can be quicker and extreme hardship cases are expedited but to be considered for an extreme hardship is almost impossible for most.

There have been quite a few people registered on this site who have been approved lately who submitted in March and April. So a 3-month approval is possible, again, depending on those factors.

there is no data on this texas facility.. any petitions approved there were forwarded from vsc.. don't get your hopes up based on that .. plan on 5-8 months

you all know that daca didn't go away don't you?

[JP and Tee 13]

YES i HAVE SEEN 3 MONTHS BEFORE SEVERAL TIMES MYSELF . CANNOT EXPLAIN IT THOUGH. THINK THEY MUST KNOW SOMEBODY IDK.

There's no need to shout.

We filed our petition in August 2012. we got our NOA2 on May 3rd 2013.

So yea, definitely longer than 3 months. There's really no hard rule about what is 'normal' and what is not anymore. It depends on your luck really!

Just be patient and make sure you have all the necessary documents so when the time comes and you get your NOA2, you won't be wasting time trying to collect them and get your packet together.

[Hank_ 9,174]

Average time lately: 6 - 8 months.

If you are lucky, next month....

To pass the time read the info in the link in my signature below this post.

Then pop down to the Philippine forum and say "Hi"

dont want to put a downer on things iv been waiting almost 5 months and feel very close now and im a feb filer too keep the faith it will come im looking at the 6 months mark maybe more but it does fly by after a while

some do get it sooner and congratulations to then its great to see it being so quick

but you are close now give it a couple more months and things will be fine

iv heard after the noa2 things go very fast as there is alot to sort out

[jmgiddyup 2]

Case load would seem to be the determining factor. Ours was 71 days from filing to NOA2 at VSC, but that was in the middle of 2010.

[andy ngeci 18]

we filled this year and we got N0A2 after exactly 5months and 7days

[alfredjamoroso 1]

i got mines in 3 months not to brag, but i was in disbelief when i got the letter thinking its an RFE. its possible it really is a case by case . i was thinking to my self it would be a minimum of 5 months so was not expecting it at all. i filed in february also the 19th to be exact

best of luck.- ALFRED
