Hello all,  it's been over two months for me and my fiance since we received the NOA1 over email/snail mail (we received it around 25 May). I'd like to know the actual and current timelines between the NOA1 and NOA2 as obviously you guys understand, we're getting really antsy. Looking for people with a similar timeframe as us -- would be super helpful.

 

In addition, is there anything we should be doing in terms of follow-ups/paperwork during the wait? Is there anything we should be looking out for? 

Thanks in advance!

Here is the May filers thread:

 

 

People will start posting here once they start getting their NOA2's, and there should be some helpful information there with regards to getting signed up to the new website to get notified when your petition has been looked at. :)

Someone already sent you a link to the May filers thread (my filing dates are similar to yours; sent May 23/NOA1 Received Date May 25/NOA1 Notice Date May 31).

 

You're not going to get a better estimate than the one on your timeline any time soon, but keep in mind that's only an estimate and you could get NOA2 before or well after that date range. Cases filed by couples from the same country on the same day can get NOA2 over a month apart for no obvious reason. Also your projected NOA2 date range will change over time as more people from earlier months get their NOA2s and update their timelines.

 

Other than familiarizing yourself with the rest of the process (which differs from country to country at the embassy/consulate stage, and there are a few things specific to the Philippines you'll need to know about), there's not a lot to do right now. Some of the paperwork you'll need for the embassy/consulate stage will have expiration dates, and others ask for information that could needs to be current when you file it. Since you're from a country where a lot of K-1 beneficiaries are from, there are a lot of people who are knowledgeable about the process there on this site.

 

Good luck.

Looks like you have a minimum of 120 days to wait. Find something to keep yourself busy!  Once you get your NOA2, things will begin to move a lot faster. :clock:
