Probably not

Are they long now?

 

No longer getting approved like in month?

They haven't been approved that fast in a very, very long time. We did K-1 in 2018 and it still took 6 months from NOA1 to NOA2. 

 

Based on VJ stats, the average amount of days from NOA1 to NOA2 currently is 359 days. And that's not counting the rest of the process that occurs after getting the NOA2.
