Hi

So bit about me I am Irish he is American from Las Vegas,

Sent our K1 package on 22nd july on 2nd august got noa1

We are getting married in Las vegas on 2nd May 2014.. We have booked it..

We booked for May cause it wont be too hot for my grandparents to go and other than that have wait until October :(:(. sooo long..

I know I am crazy booking it already but I see the average max length is 9months considering all goes well..

I am soo stressed thinking I am not going to get visa on time.

Worst comes to worst have put wedding back until visa, and my grandparents cant go :(:(

Do you think 2nd of may should be ok..??

It depends on which service center your petition got sent to. CSC is listing the processing timeframe for K-1 at 5 months.

Check out Igor's list for recently approved K-1 petitions to get an idea of the average processing time to get NOA2.

Good luck!

2 things you have to check. The length to be approved at the service center and the wait for an interview. Check out the listing for your embassy to see the wait. Sometimes the interview wait can add 4 months to the process. You are lucky to be from somewhere where AP is rare after the interview.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

Dublin

No that excludes K visa GO to the top of the page select immigration time lines There you can get K1 and select your country and you will see most people are interviewed about 3 months after their NOA2

how do you check it? I can't find it.
