'm I the only January filer without NOA2 yet??? My NOA1 is Jan 27... Everyone seem to have passed the NOA2 stage... I know the average time is 5months... but it just looks like 'm the only one left without NOA2... Someone please tell me 'm not alone??? :)

Nope...mine was Jan14th and still waiting too, I believe many more people are. It's all case by case but I believe the rep preparing the case matters too. There's not much one can do except wait and hopefully they pick up file and start working on it. Don't worry you're not alone.

My NOA1 is January 25, and I am still waiting.

I was curious about other I-129F petitions that have the same NOA1 date as mine, so I went to the USCIS site and did a little digging. I found 57 cases with the same NOA1 date as mine. Of those, 3 were rejected right away. Of the remaining 54, 28 were approved, 10 RFE’s, and 16 still awaiting some kind of action.

So, you and I are not alone in waiting some kind of action. There are many other January I-129F filers still waiting for the NOA2.

I'm still waiting on my NOA2 as well, granted I did get an RFE but I responded literally the next day from when I received the hardcopy. Who knows how long it will take for them to pick up again on the RFE cases.

This immigration process truly does put our patience to the test :) Hang in there :)

Means they've dispatched my documents to the embassy, but my one is the only one in side.

Sad because that means other UK people haven't been sent as well.

The packet goes to the embassy you intend to be interviewed at.

Mine is supposed to be delivered by the end of the day on Monday.

We will have everything for packet 3 ready when we receive it then we can schedule the medical when we get packet 4.

Unfortunately she may need the sputum test which takes 8-9 weeks to get the results.

I'll be going to Cape Town, (South Africa) and then we will fly to Johannesburg for her interview.

For all those waiting, it gets more exciting so hang in there!
