1 month down, ~3 to go

[Hoa Nguyen 26]

It's been exactly 1 month since my NOA1 for my K-1.  I daydream at work wondering what my K-1 packet is up to.  Is it in deep storage somewhere with a million other K-1s?  It must be lonely by now, not having human contact since they took the check away.  Do you get your K-1 packet back when it is approved?  Anyways thanks for reading the random thoughts of an impatient K-1 filer.  Hoping to get that sweet sweet NOA2 in about 3 months : )

it may seem like eternity but it will come eventually   Maybe you will be lucky and get it earlier.

You might want to pick up a hobby.

No i dont think they send it back to you. And finding a hobby will be good for you. Its currently taking 150+ days. So maybe 4 more months for you. Good luck

Hi Hoa , it took 147 days for us to get NOA2 approval. So hang in there! It is so worth waiting for.  After we got NOA2, our interview was scheduled 31 days later on 10/20.

 

Good luck

Gosh I know!!  Last year I saw people that filed in Novemberish of 2016 were getting noa2’s in like 2 or 3 months...  I don’t get it. Maybe during the holidays it will speed up?  But it doesn’t make sense because uscis employees would be on vacation during the holidays I would think...

oh man I know how you feel about the wait. It was so frustrated at times; so it's true to find a hobby; spread your focus to something else; and the result will come eventually. Good luck

PS: the beneficiary will received a copy of approved NOA 2 by US Consulate as well as a instruction letter.
