Still touch free for me.

Running the data (I think correctly) for today - for all those who've updated their timelines), it seems that there are 77 total K3/K1 CSC filers who got an NOA1 between 1/1 and 1/31.

13 of the 18 k3 filers - or 72% - have their NOA2s already.

20 of the 59 k1 filers - or 34% have their NOA2s.

Grand total: 43%.

Seems better than I thought.

I was just wondering since I spend all my time in the K1 forum and looking at K1 events, whether K3 people waiting for the same sorts of actions were any better off. They seem to be a bit further along.

I don't think there's much take-away. But since I'm still touchless (still hours left in the day!), why not play with numbers.

I'm all over the place on this site and the K-3 & CR-1 filers are going through the same thing as here. I've seen 2 approvals for K-3s at CSC and they were February filers which I thought was odd. But everyone else is just waiting like you guys. I had a touch today but who knows what that means. :huh:

You guys hanging out in the Jan filers' threads with me trying to push them through? ;) When they're out of the way, we are next!

I ran the numbers tonight again. Some touches reported, but the NOA2 numbers haven't changed yet. They'll be changing real soon...

Hi everyone,

I just discovered about VJ a short time ago, and this is my first post in this forum. I applied for the K-1 visa in January (through an attorney) to the CSC. My NOA-1 has a notice date of Jan 16. From this thread, I see that a lot of people who have applied after me have already gotten their NOA-2's. Should I be starting to get worried? Do you guys think my file is lost somewhere in the CSC?

By the way, this is an awesome site full of good information. You must be hearing this a lot from newcomers, but I wish I had discovered this a lot earlier. :-)

Only about 1/3 of January filers from CSC have NOA2. The average wait time right now is about 81 days with some much longer than that. On the bright side, there seems to be some recent activity suggesting more NOA2's are on the way. Click the link below to see some stats:
