What is the average wait time between receiving NOA1 and NOA2? It's been about 24 days and we still haven't heard anything. I looked at the similar cases here on VJ and it seems everyone else who filed like us got their NOA2 in 10 days or less. Is this normal? I'm getting kinda stressed out over not hearing anything.

DCF in London?

If not, then no one can tell you how long it will take. If your case went to Overland Park, KS- they aren't even open yet.

When two people are meant for each other, no time is too long, no distance is too far, no one can ever tear them apart.
