Per the Visa Journey processing times page total time from receipt of I-129 to interview is shown below. This is based on the experience of VJ posters who have updated their time lines.

When you say processing times for the fiance visa, do you mean from NOA1 to NOA2 or the whole process up to the POE? Because NOA1 to NOA2 is anywhere between 5--7months depending on luck (some people are still waiting from June/July?) and then really depends on the speed of NVC and the consulate. So all together could average between 8-12months! 

Hopefully with your file date, you'll get your NOA2 soon :)!

Please don’t misunderstand me, but isn’t this the 3rd time you’re asking this same thing? 

 

Processing times wont change in a week or even in a month. If you follow your month you will see how everyone is waiting around the same time. You may get approved tomorrow or it may be another month of wait. I strongly suggest waiting with November filers and see how the most current situation is.
