[mitchyyy 2]

I think the uscis step to get NOA2 TAKES 5 TO 6 MONTHS THEN 1 month for the file to be sent to NVC and be assigned a case number then 3 months in nvc then another two months for the consulate step.that is a total of 11 to 12 months if all goes smooth , and responses to nvc requests were quick and nothing was missing.

That is such a long wait..... Are you guys together in marocco, or is the U.S. citizen in TX?

[Hassan&Amina 0]

Yes it is a very long wait, the us citizen is in texas and the spouse is in morocco, but we visit each other every six months.

Welcome Hassan and Amina!!!

Well... Im thinking about a year as well, hopefully its less

BrenPuchot thank you. And i hope all goes well for everyone.

Is it ok to visit while the i130 is pending???

[Hassan&Amina 0]

we meet in morocco every six months because you have to have a visa to come to usa

Ok, I see ?

We got our NOA1 on April 6

Now just constantly waiting to know if anyone is even looking at our case. So heartbreaking to keep seeing the same message on the case tracker ?

I think you should expect something after the 5 months waiting period.

I know what u mean. Frustrating

[Hassan&Amina 0]

I know it is frustrating , patience is the key in the next 12 months.

So hard to know! Every Service Center varies its processing times constantly. So the slowest now can be the fastest in a month... It's just so unpredictable...

Hubby is coming in 48 days but he's only staying for 8 days. I cant do my everyday life as I used to six months ago, there is no day I dont end up crying or having a nervous breakdown and Im sure you guys are going throught the same.

Lets keep ourselves busy and support each other in here, I very much need it

It sure does suck! I mean especially for people that are going through this for the right reasons and not just to get a GC.

I know two people who had false marriages and got everything sorted super fast and it just makes my blood boil.

Hey everyone!More April fillers here!We sent the package in the beginning of April and we received our Receipt Notice on April 10th .Our case was routed to the Texas Service Center,we've read mixed reviews about it so all we can do is wait and see..Good luck to everyone and I hope that by the time the Holidays are here we're home with our spouses.
