I was California Service center,  NOA1 14 Mar 2017,  NOA2 on 20 July 2017.   I felt it was rather quick,and we feel lucky to be here we are now in the NVC process.  I hope and pray ya'll get approved soon.  Stay strong, and be positive.   

Yes, i noticed. But the person with a PD date of the 15th had not yet received an NOA2 last i checked.  Also with there being only three of us on here, there isn't even enough data to produce an expected timeline for me.

I agree, its difficult to know when they will approve your case.  Also, remember,  when you do get approved and get to the NVC process, its the same thing.  Waiting and hoping, and wondering and praying.   Its a tough road, please stay positive and strong. I'm sure you will hear something soon.   Peace and Happiness to you.

Hi, my case is not at Nebraska but at TSC. I too filed March 16th and haven't got my approval. I spoke with a tier 2 officer today and was told that the long wait was due to the security check. In fact the FBI is the hold up. So the date that's posted on the website is cases still pending due to that. While they are waiting for the feedback from the FBI they go ahead and process cases from which they do get feedback from which is ahead of us. Reasons for that, the petitioner's country has to give information. Some of which is slow ... also, if the form i129f was filed right after getting the first notice of action, this would have helped the beneficiary to migrate to the US while awaiting the second NOA. So for filers who recently filed, plz send in that I129F form with no charge.

The tier 2 officer has given you a story.  The FBI isn't involved in matters relating to immigration and customs. These are separate agencies. An adjudication officer feeds your name into a database and if your beneficiary is not on a watchlist here or in his/her country then that is the extent of what is done (perhaps wth the exception of beneficiaries living in countries that the trump administration has flagged as high risk). Cases take a long time because there are millions of petitions under review, and very little done to ensure workloads are balanced amongst service centers. Nebraska is notoriously slow for family visas, while Texas has the same reputation for its snail like approval of fiancée visas.

I was not at the TSC, but plan on 3-5 more months depending on where your beneficiary lives.
