Be positive and be prepared to wait.. the best advice I can give right now! I know it's hard.

Hello everyone, :) I am currently waiting for my NOA2. Its been a little over 2 months since NOA1. Has anyone filed a K1 VISA this year (2017?) If so what is your experience with waiting time? Mine was sent to Dallas. Im from AUS :) 

Got a RFE after 137 days so you have to just wait for now. Nothing else you can do. It takes time.

Two years ago it took my wife and I 157 days to get NOA2.  It seemed like an eternity, but there were some who had to wait much longer than we did, like 250 + days.  Be thankful its improved greatly since then.  You will get word eventually and when you do, it will seem like it went by in the blink of an eye.  You will definitely appreciate it more when the time comes and the wedding happens.  Good luck to you guys and all others waiting through this process.

It's been 116 days for us and still no NOA2. I've learned it's all luck. Some people get approved as early as 3 months, others are still getting approvals in December. They're all over the place. Just try to be patient. It's hard. I know. :(

Hey I'm a March filer & still waiting for NOA2 today actually makes 4 months & when I called them few weeks ago I was told they are working on January cases so they are not in the rush to be honest with u...my lawyer told me it takes the most 6 months to get your I129F approved so hang in there it's a wait in a half

I also filed for K1, received date of March 24th and still waiting to hear something. That makes today day 121 without any updates. I'd say prepare for at least a 4 month wait until your second notice, but some people have received it in less time and some people longer. It really sucks, nothing we can do but wait and wait and wait lol
