I'm also a July filer and the beneficiary. I think we will receive our NOA2 by late-February and NVC by late-April. I think July filers will have POE in June/July 2018 to be honest.

Hi, 

 

Welcome to the website! Yes, currently right now it takes 6-8 months to get NOA2. Here, you can join and communicate more with other members who submitted their petition and receive their NOA1 on July 2017. Good luck with your journey! :)

If you fill out your timeline you'll get an estimated date, you should also read the guides and look at the timelines of others who have done the same.

A little work and you'll find the answer.

  K3's never get processed anymore.  It is a leftover from decades ago when the CR1 took years for a USC . We see about 2-3 a year slip through.  What happens is the CR1 and the K3 get approved together and they will kill the K3 because the CR1 is approved when it hits NVC.  Only the freak cases where they don't arrive together go forward.  Just follow your I130  

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

  Lawyers tend to sell you on their ability to get you together faster.  They usually only create delay for those that are straight forward cases.  The persons that care the most about this being quick are the two of you.   Years ago we would see maybe 10 or so K3s  but now they are about like unicorns .   It really takes them a few minutes to file the extra stuff,  fill you with false hope and collect you business.
