Hi I know waiting is crazy. I have been waiting since July 2013. It is terrible and the missing of the other person is unexplainable. I am the petitioner and my fiance us from Dominican republic. All I can say is that sooner or later we have to receive the noa2. Have hope and stay strong.

No I don't think you have to wait that long because this is absolutely ridiculous. They needed extra papers from me but now they have my papers for over a month and they are still slow. So I hope the end is near. I don't think the same thing will happen to you. Just pray that you are one of the lucky ones. Don't lose hope. Love will keep you strong.

Well, I didn't file in the same month, but similar case. I filed 13 Jan, got my NOA1 on the 22nd and haven't heard anything for 4 months and 4 days now.. There's nothing we can do about it in the meantime unfortunately, except trying to put together the package for after NOA2 (relationship evidence, police cert., copies of documents etc). I'm keeping busy with that so that when we finally get approved, I can send the package back the next day. Then I can make this process much shorter :) I hear you though, it's an intense and long process. Good thing it's all worth it in the end!

Welcome to the forum!

My husband and I applied for the CR1 Visa on April 2013 and just got our NOA2 in December of the same year while K1's were being approved left and right. Now, unfortunately, roles have changed and it seems like K1s are taking long and Cr1s are being approved rather quickly.

I'm so sorry, but you'll just have to wait... :(

Since April 4th 2013 I waited and waited and have continued to wait and will finally travel on JUly 2nd to start a life with my husband... so, yeah, you have to wait quite a while before you get back there... :(
