Hi,

I sent in my I-129F (K1 visa application), I received the confirmation email with the case number on December 1 2014, however I never received the written verification. I called them and made sure they had the correct address, and they verified.

My question is, it is a little over two months, and I have not heard anything, how long is it normal for the second NOA?

Is there anything I or my fiance should be preparing, forms, legal papers.. etc?

Thanks for any guidance!

She is in Ecuador.

[Moderator hat off]

Allocate the funds now to be present at the eventual visa interview in Guayaquil. The petitioner's presence used to, and might still be, an unspoken mandatory expectation.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Than you all!

I was hoping it would be sooner than 5 to 10 months, but oh well. At least now I know what to expect, and stop thinking something is not right.

Yep Try to set your mind to 7-8 months, and try to join one of the topics from the people that have your same file date, it will encourage you and your fiance to hang in there in this long wait. Be patient and good luck.

Plan for 10 months, be happy with 5.

Why do you keep parroting this response in every thread about processing times?

Average wait time at TSC is between 6 and 7 months right now. They are slowly falling further and further behind, but there is no reason to believe it will reach 10 months anytime soon.

Why do you keep parroting this response in every thread about processing times?

Because so many folks try to predict what the SCs will do and get so much into a tither when things go different. If they assumed for a more conservative estimate they wouldn't be so anxious.......AND I do know folks that took 10 months, no RFEs, nada, just took that long. My advice is good basic advice.
