Hello All,
Been lurking on this site for some time now. I filed for the K1 Visa towards the last week of April of 2018  - they said the date received was April 25th - and NOA1 - was sent around the 2nd week of May. So I am assuming that the Cali Center is currently taking around 5-7 months to process?
Has anyone yet to receive a NOA2 from the Aprilette family here?

Hoping to be able to have the SO done and here by Dec. of 2018  - Would make for a fantastic Christmas. As of now if counting by May - Aug - it has been around 3.5 months.
Will be waiting to see who can chime in.

hey and welcome to our Aprilette family @MateR

 

I have leave booked to see my fiancé for two weeks over Christmas cos I don't think interview is going to hit til about January maybe even February then I have to give notice on my job so thinking it could be nearer Easter when I get there.

 

Oh and fill your timeline in it will give you a better idea of when to expect NOA2 and its does change often as people get approved and complete their timelines on here.

This website has some pretty clear instructions for what to do after NOAhttps://sites.google.com/view/post-noa2/home

 There's even a timetable of different countries on how long it took their case to reach the NVC after NOA2 😁

Also worth noting, until very recently, they tended to move back on weekends and up early in the week because the old web site (and so the scans and all the apps based on it) didn't have updates on the weekends. That happens less now, I think, because activity tends to not show up on the new web site until the next day so Friday activity at USCIS gets reflected on timelines on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday when people get around to checking ...

Hey everyone!  How are you all?  Just wanted to stop in and say hello.  I just got back from a three week visit and now I’m listening to Richard Marx.  I decided I’d come share a moment with a group of people who know better than anyone the feelings that I have right now.  So grateful to spend the time, but saying goodbye gets harder each time. Hope you all get to feel what I’m feeling right now really soon. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Hello everyone. We sent our packet on April, 2018. The only people who I've read here have received their approval this month, is February filers so definitely the process is taking for most: 6 months. We will be approved on October for sure... Positive vibes only! God bless everybody!
