NOA 1, August 19th 2022!

I have been reading this site a few weeks ago after filing I-129F so called K1 visa.

 

I wish good luck to everyone.

Not sure. I filed on the 12th and already received my noa1 today in the mail. They never emailed me even though I submitted the g1145 but I did get a text message telling me it was recieved.

I had the same thing! No email, just text. I did get it in the paper copy in the mail though. Did you ever get the email version with the G1145?

No, surprisingly I never got an email either. I hope that doesnt mean they misunderstood the email and sent it elsewhere.

This is about what we were expecting. I am still trying to understand if that 15 months is the time before we should expect the NOA2 or the time we should anticipate before the interview?

NOA2 unfortunately...

 

On some other sites, people are claiming to receive NOA2 in 6-8 months.  I'll believe it when I see it here.

Those people are lying, I have been looking and asking everywhere. I doubt that seriously.

Yeah the lawyer we are using says they are seeing it in about 10-12 months for most of their clients.

that has to be old data, USCIS works in approximate order, everyone except expedites and those needing more intense background checks will be ~15months. It was 10-12months spring 2022 but has been 14months+ since summer at least. 

It has gone down a little in that some people are getting approvals at 14months but the majority are still around 15 months. USCIS is looking at Oct-Dec 2021 cases right now (Dec started last week). To get 10-12months as things stand, you have to jump the queue by 4-5months which just isn't going to happen.

 

The 6-8month cases I've seen have been expedites (which they usually don't tell you unless asked) or there was recently a case of someone being transferred to vermont and getting an approval at 7months. It is not the norm. Lawyers have constantly been shown to be out of touch (or maybe lying) about expected wait time, some still tell clients 6months which on what planet?!

I dont think any of us is going to hear anything until late this summer. I do see that the estimate has moved up about a month since we first filed. It was previously in Nov 2023 now the new estimates are all in Oct so that is good news I guess lol

Realized that the embassy I put on my visa application does not do k-1 interviews. Should I send in a correction now or just wait for it to be processed? 🤔

Seems like the USCIS speed is picking up and other members are making predictions for NOA2 in -12 months.

Hi everyone!

It's comforting knowing we're not alone on the waiting... 

 

Hope we have some good news soon!
