Thank you!! I'm very nervous, triple thinking everything when it comes to the documents, praying i provided everything correct.. Awesome, I will definitely do that! I went through Rapid Visa and they said it was sent today, so we'll see what happens.

We used Rapid Visa, too.  If they reviewed the petition before you filed you should be pretty confident.

Pretty good actually. They helped me with everything, step by step. If something wasn't correct, they would let me know.

Yeah, they said everything looks good. So judging by the various posts I looked at, all of us around the 4-5 month range from approval of the NOA-2.

I know, it is very sad.. My Fiancé is from Russia, so I might have to even wait longer because of the Embassy.. :( I read somewhere on here and I'm trying to find it again.. But, some member said that after they get through the May and June filers everything should go faster. I don't know how much truth there is in that but let's hope it's true.

Hello fellow Oct filers. I sent in my petition today and it will be delivered Saturday. My fiance is 6 months pregnant with our child and I am getting ready for the long wait. I will be claiming a US citizen when (s)he is born in India in January. Lots of paperwork and patience ahead ! All the best to everyone waiting.

We heard about it from Military help line ourselves.

Well my fiance is active duty and I am DoD civilian, we didnt pay attention of expedited regulation and then he was pcsing back to the state for emergency. So as we are not married and I am not US citizen sooo we are going through the K1.

Anyway, we talked to Military Helpline and they said..once June and July fillers done it will be lot faster...during that time is sommer holidays so lots of officers have summerbreak...

 

So fellows keep our fingers crossed!

From my esteemed colleagues here, it is the consensus that times will quicken a bit starting in the August and September time frame.  I’m not sure how much but they believe that May and June will be the longest wait in history.

 

8 hours ago, John & Rose said:

Actually they found out this morning that there are still 1000 April petitions that haven’t been touched.  There are only 3 less petitions remaining in May as in the entire month of June.  Both around 3800.  Things are not good right now.  May started at 4700 so they have only touched about 900 May petitions total.

That's awesome. Hopefully it's legit, and the rest of the months go by fast. Because it's looking like March for all of us right now if it doesn't go quicker.. and that's just ridiculous.
