Where is your country ? There’s huge backlog everywhere

they are costa Rica

 

and yes the process is experiencing delays in all embassies

u will also have long wait times after you get to USA for the AOS,  EAD and AP process so you need a lot of patience to get thru this hassle

it' ll be worth it to be together 

best to u both

Yes, it will take approximately 11 months to get NOA2 as of now. Improved speeds for the March filers bode well for you guys in April, but this week is the first ‘real’ week where we’ve seen movement in mid-March so they’re still a ways away from you guys.

Thus, making the CR-1 even more superior to a K-1 for most people.  Good luck.

Agreed. My I-129F receipt date is 4/1/21 and I regret not going the CR-1 route pretty much daily.

I 100% would've went the CR-1 route if it was an option for my situation, waiting almost a year for an NOA2 (323 days so far) is agonizing.

but who would have thought that in a matter of a blink of an eye a 7 month whole process would turn into a 15 month journey.. k1 visa was once the fastest way.. guess we all could blame politics and covid

It sucks. I know. Our NOA1 was 2nd march, 2021. We got our NOA2 on 4th January, 2022. So we waited 10 months and 2 days for it. Average wait time right now for NOA2 that we are seeing is 10-11 months. When we started this process it was around 7-8 months.

Whole process is taking forever. I talked to NVC on Thursday there & they had just received our petition. So they said to call back in a week or two to see if they’ve input it yet to get our case number.
