Some recent K-1 visa applicants have received NOA2 approximately 2 to 3 months after NOA1. Has the processing speed returned to pre-COVID levels, or is there a special reason, such as military service, that is expediting the process? I would like to know to better predict my own process, so if anyone has information, please let me know.

Welcome to the forums!  Because your thread involves general questions about processing-times, it's moved to the USCIS Service Centers forum.  Good luck regarding your approval!

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

It does appear that processing has picked up significantly, but it isn't possible to say that you will categorically go through processing in-line with other applicants. There's too many factors personal to your own circumstances that could impact on the time it takes for your case to be adjudicated. 

 

Look at VJ timelines of others from the same country as you/your beneficiary. The more recent their timeline, the better it can be used as a guide (with emphasis on that, do not expect the same). 

 

I think it is best to err on the side of caution and allow yourself atleast 12 months from start to finish, but accepting that it could be more. If it's less, then it's a bonus.
