You don't have to put your number to talk to them by the way. Does it show on the website? (Start with the WAC)

This is our case #. WAC1890128692, but when i call the number it asks me to enter my case # and when I do that it says that I dont put in enough numbers. I use all the numbers after Wac, so 10 in total. I dont see any other way how to contact them.

 

best regards

Bill

Check this one out, and chose not to put your number if it's asked. Then explain them. I know cause people who loses their wac number also calls.

 

Try the last one if you reach Spanish- just say you must have dialed wrong.

or the one where you touch nothing.

The phone system requires you to also enter the "WAC" portion of the receipt number using the numeric keypad equivalent (WAC = 922).

Hello  Remember I told you I’m going to visit my fiancé in May for his graduation..but today he thought that I could go there in March too for a week for his spring break ❤️ Can I have problems at customs for going now in March for a week and in May for 3 weeks?

Not because of k1, but a person can always be denied entry to US so nothing is guaranteed. I did go 3 times since we started the process.

 

have documents showing your ties to your country and a return ticket. And just be honest at the entry

Update of the graphs comparing June and July regarding the length of time from Received to Approved one month later (as to 02/22/2018), this time including August under the same conditions.

 

As a reminder, in the graphs below I try to compare what happened within the next 177 days after that last day of June, July and August 29th (last day with approvals) received cases.

 

In that time, with a total of 715, 357 and 582 approved cases (after removing some outliers) respectively:

 

• June had a global mean of 182.49 days from Received to Approval date, with a standard deviation of 7.89 days.
• July had a global mean of 195.03 days from Received to Approval date, with a standard deviation of 3.89 days.
• August had a global mean of 189.33 days from Received to Approval date, with a standard deviation of 6.47 days.

 

As you guys can see, July (starting approvals at 185+ days) was significantly worse than June (160+ days), but in August (175+ days), we can clearly see the turning point for average processing times finally starting to go down again. This is looking much better than in previous months!

 

Please, note that ONLY updated approved cases were considered, and that the purpose of this graphs is just merely informative, not predictive.

Good day! We received our noa1 on january 4, 2018 and waiting for the noa2 this has been the longest wait of our life. Anyone can tell the estimated date of receiving noa2 if we filed the case on january? Btw i am the beneficiary. Hope to hear from you! Thanks!

No telling really. Each case is different. 

 

It took us 6 months from NOA1 to NOA2. Once I enter the states the whole process will have taken just under 11 months.

Coz your waiting thats why jus relax and make your self busy

Wow!  Many CR-1s are complete in just a little more than that.  Our CR-1 was 13 months from filing to visa in hand...and my wife could immediately work and leave the country with no AOS required.
