As of this moment the unofficial processing times seems to run in the 3 to 4 month time frame some even less (as witnessed here on VJ). In reality there is no sure why to know how fast your petition once submitted will process. This is NOT including the embassy phase!

Recently 3 to 4 months for petitions and then it depends on your interviewing consulate for the remainder of the trip

My fiancee just received her visa yesterday. From the time we submitted the I-129F to her getting her visa in her hand took just a little of 6 months total.

How quickly did the process move after you received the 2nd NOA? I want to warn my boss as soon as possible if I need to go back to Colombia in the next month or so. We've received our NOA2 last week.

You manage the speed from here.   A couple months before it is on station and then however long it takes you to get the interview.  After visa issuance you will have approx 6 months to enter

We received the NOA2 on April 8th, and were at the NVC was a little over a month. The Embassy received our case two days after it left the NVC (about a month and a week from receiving NOA2) and we got Packet 3 via email about a week and a half later (about a month and a half from receiving NOA2). From there we scheduled our interview a little less then a month away. So from NOA2 to the interview it took about 2 1/2 months. But I wouldn't schedule anything with your work until the interview appointment is in place.
