Exciting, congrats! 21 days seems like one of the fastest times I've seen (and usually those times are at the California Service Center) ! Here's hoping it's a trend and the NOA2s for the rest of us

Hey Guys. I filed a I-130 form for my wife on June 15th. I received the NOA (1st) via email and phone on June 17th. My I-130 form was forwarded to California Service Center. I received the hard copy of the 1st NOA through post mail on June 22nd. How long does it take to receive the 2nd NOA? How quick is the California Service Center? Am a bit nervous but let the long wait begin

Welcome To VJ!

The USCIS website states 5 months but each case varies.

I'm anxiously checking this board to see when the first June couple receives their NOA2. If I look at the following chart, it looks like recently people routed to the California Service Center have heard back sometimes in as little as 3 weeks! I hope I'm not jinxing myself...

I think we are all secretly praying for a legendarily fast approval right along with you! Whether you are separated from your spouse or living alongside, each situation comes with its own struggles and I think all of us want it over with as quickly as possible so we can move forward with our lives. Let's hope those graphs are accurate!!! (the anxiety is killing me...I must check this board 100 times a day to see if anyone has gotten their NOA 2)

I literally just woke up 10 minutes ago, guys. And the first thing I checked was this site. Then I went to USCIS site to check our petition's status and God is just so good the status says we are approved! I'm so happy :)

My husband is in the shower right now, he still doesn't know. We are just going to wait for the NOA hard copy.

Thank you @cosmos22, @ditdot and @Terri&Salim :) I honestly couldn't believe it at first as it's been only 21 days since we received our NOA1 :) My husband was like, "Why is it so fast?"

Our form I-130 was processed in Nebraska Service Center. And here's what the USCIS site says about our status:
