Hello Everyone,

Decided to start a new thread for anyone filing this month. I will be mailing in my application tomorrow which is exciting! Would love to start a dialogue with others as they begin this process as well.

I am currently in Seattle, WA and my fiance is in Dublin Ireland. Does anyone know how the selection process works for what office your application is sent to from Dallas Lockbox? Seems the California location has a significantly shorter turn-around time than the other locations. From my understanding it can take anywhere from 4 to 8 months depending on this. Anyone else come to the same conclusion?

Good luck to everyone else who is beginning this exciting journey! :)

Crossing my fingers that my NOA2 will be today (or at least this week). My timeline estimated July 28-30. At this point I'd even prefer an RFE so at least I knew they were working on it.

I just received my NOA2! I was hesitant and confused filling out the forms, even after buying a book on the process. Then I found this site. This site was a great help in putting the application pa

We filed in April, got NOA1 on 16th but still await NOA2. All new cases are going to CSC since Mar 27th which probably means a slow down in CSC processing rates.

Nothing yet, I assume I'll know which service center we will be at once I receive the 1st NOA. I'll update as soon as I know--looks like I can expect NOA 1 in 2-4 days.

As of March 27th, all new cases have gone to CSC. So good luck, you guys will likely have your NOA-2 way before us stuck at TSC for over 5 months so far.

Wishing you speedy processing.

Thanks, I hope for a speedy processing as well, and I hope they continue to send new petitions to CSC (I guess I will find out soon enough). Sorry about your being lodged somewhere in purgatory, and I hope someone dusts off your file sometime soon!

If this is going to be our "official" thread, wouldn't it be a good idea to make the name more uniform to match previous months? Something like "June 2015 K-1 Filers"? Though I hope the year won't become necessary, it of course might (the implication being that this process lasts until 2016). :)

Good idea! Someone call a mod?

And the year shouldnt be neccesary (hopefully) since we all are going trough CSC.

Any idea when you guys want to be flying? I really hope for myself that I can be their before christmas!
