I'm constantly googling new and stuff on it and find articles whether they are accurate or not they say in a few months the NVC time should not be taking that long so fingers crossed. If I can get married in August I will be so happy. I want to get married 8-8-18 because my birthday is the 9th and the way the UK does their date is date then month but US does ours month then date so it'll be the same on all of our cute stuff with no confusion...is that lame reasoning? Hahaha

I wish I was as optimistic as you 😂  I'm a mid-August filer and I want to get married in August, but I genuinely don't feel it will happen or I should even think about it.

The calculation I did yesterday estimated my beneficiary's POE in July and that's if nothing gets worse :( I think with all the immigration news headlines coming out it's going to get worse and not better

Jeeez, where did you do these calculations? Not trying to sound contradicting just curious so I can figure up mine. I did mine for last July and I'm a mid October filer. Now my fiance is UK and their consulate moves pretty fast.

NOA1 was on August 18th for me, so with the trend of NOA2 taking about 200 days, that would be an NOA2 on March 6th with no RFE. About 50 days to send to NVC is May 5th. 10 days at NVC is May 15th. 30 days for interview June 14th. 10 days for VOH (Visa on Hand) would be June 24th. 7 days for POE is July 1st :(

Ok, so that's the longest it could take. I know it's hard but try not to think to much on it. I'm really trying to be positive and trust me...I am not normally this positive haha.

Hi everyone! My fiancé filed in October. We have an immigration attorney who said that it will only take 3 months max. Well, since he filed in California this is obviously going to take waaaay longer. I’m so happy I found this group! Sometimes I get sad and frustrated but I know it’s only a matter of being patient. Good luck to all of you! 💖

This wait has been such a drag. It's only been three months and we still have at least three more to go. I'm going insane.
