150 days, seriously? Does anyone know if the recent processing times have gotten better, worse, or have stayed the same?

 

Anyone who filed after June 2017, have you received your NOA2?

Five months is about right. Sometimes 6 or more, sometimes a little less.

I am sorry to hear that you have been waiting for your NOA2 to arrive longer than expected. 

 

It seems that USCIS is still processing April and May petitions. Timeline as of the moment is 180 days minimum and 205 maximum. 

 

Just keep the faith and i am sure you will get your NOA2 very soon.

What is the NOA2? I filed my AOS back in May and case status has been stuck at "Ready To Be Scheduled For An Interview" since June 21st.

NOA2 is the I-129F's approval. This is a K-1 visa case, not AOS.

I didn't mean to make others think that I had filed in June. I actually filed September 1st. I was just curious to see if processing times had picked up since the last USCIS reported processing times in August. Yeah, my case has awhile to go. 

 

I don't know why I had read that from NOA1 to Interview it usually only took 6 months.

It used to, so you probably had read that. I filed K1 Sept 2016 and it was 4 months 6 days from the time I mailed my paper until his interview. Our NOA2 came less than a month after NOA1.

 

But times change (and we didn't get our visa anyway)

You received your NOA2 but didn't get the visa? Isn't that rare? What happened?

I saw the Moroccan flag and then read your timeline. I'm so sorry that that happened to you.
