Sorry what do the terms CSC , TSC, VSC mean? I'm assuming for the K1 visa its from October 2023 to April 2024 but is that only for NOA 2 or is that the time frame to actually have the visa too? 

Those are the processing centers.   Yours is CSC.   That is processing time only for petition approval, which is just the first step.

The chart indicates that applications which received an NOA1 on those dates, from those centres, are due to get an NOA2 shortly. TSC is notably slower at processing than CSC and VSC, which is why the dates differ.

End of Oct 23 to end of April 24 = approx 6/7 months.

99% of I-129F K-1 petitions are processed at CSC.   The other 1% are criminal background cases which are sent to Vermont.

 

For other petition types, processing center assigned is unrelated to petitioner’s state/region of residence.

I guess I'll be waiting for a while then 😕 

It also depends on where you are from. Look at the k1 immigration timelines here and set the filter to your country and sort the list to the date when their Noa2 was received to get a general idea on how long the process might take for you. i promise it is rather accurate! For example, I am from the netherlands and i received my Noa2 on march 29th. There was exact 6 months between Noa1 and Noa2 for me. The average for the past year was 8 to 9 months, so mine was even faster than the generic idea i gotten from others timelines!

Hope this helps

trackmyvisanow is a website that some people use for statistical review on the progress of their petitions.  They source data from USCIS changes to make predictions on when approvals happen. 

I've seen some people naysay it on here as inaccurate but I discovered it before these forums and enjoyed watching the progress/algorithm shifts to faster and faster times   I'm also a big logistics person so being able to review the charts and see how my day, or range of petition dates near me were progressing was super interesting.  And for me, it was pretty accurate. 

 

I suppose the biggest selling point is their UI is extremely user-friendly, with easy to read data.  Still trying to wrap my head around the graphs here.

 

edit: I should also add that I got the Pro version for $12/month because I got more data, but there's a free month trial to see if the upgrade is worth it.  It was for me.

 I’m kinda new here, been poking around, trying to figure things out. Filling out your own ‘timeline’ helps, plus others can tell what you’re referring to.

 

  My timeline started to show 129F through the USCIS in Nov, it has slowly moved up to mid to later June. I’ve tried to get ready for the next steps, before they get here, not much I can do now. 
 

  I recently got back from my 3rd trip to the Philippines, kinda a hike, but enjoyable. It’s another 1:40 flight after landing in Manila.

It's a website and it was extremely accurate for my Fiancée and I, I hope so too just try to get through the next few months, I was checking every day, but I noticed when I went a few days without checking it seemed to go by faster, Now my next steps include a little more waiting (for NVC, my Fiancée to have her medical exam, and my fiancée to have her interview)
