These are the common VJ threads for people tracking their journeys from NOA2 receipt.  They're in the K1 Case Filing and Progress Reports subforum and I believe JojoandTomas starts them each month for people.  There isn't one for you yet because you are still waiting to see which month you receive your NOA2 in.

 

I'm not certain why these threads were recommended to you just yet.  When I was in your stage, I just followed TMVN (Track My Visa Now) and waited it out.  The VJ forums are great for estimates after the NOA2, and if you want to see times from NOA1 to 2, you can always review timelines and processing time estimates from the data they receive from USCIS (see top tab for Processing Times).

 

I cannot stress this enough; patience is key. You do not know what the next steps are.  Could be a RFE in the works, it's impossible to say.   At the end of the day, you're not at the point to be able to file an inquiry.  Foster your relationship and work on collecting further evidence.  That's all that can be done right now.

Our Visa Journey

7 Aug 23: I-129F petition mailed.

9 Aug 23: NOA1 arrives approx. 1 week after mailing with this issuance date.

1 Mar 24: NOA2 (v 1.0) issued.  Time between NOAs, 205 days (6 months 23 days).  NOA2 exp date 30 Jun 2024.

8 Mar 24: NVC received case

1 Apr 24: NVC inquiry, and provided case #.

8 May 24: NOA2 (v2) issued.  Same USCIS #, same case #, new exp date of 7 Sep 2024.

May-June 24: many inquiries sent to NVC as well as the embassy, as we see other K1s with later NOA2s are sent to Johannesburg before us.  Involved senators to investigate, refused to assist without expedite request.  Email to White House end of June 2024.

8 Jul 24: Packets 3 & 4 received, medical and visa appointments scheduled.

23 Jul 24: medical appointment with Dr. Brauer (Cape Town).

8 Aug 24: visa interview with CO in Johannesburg, 16 days after medical.  Visa not issued because medical packet wasn't filed yet.  Passport and birth certificate kept by CO.  Total time from NOA1 to interview/approval, 365 days (exactly 1 year).

13 Aug 24: email to consulate due to CEAC still displaying "Application Received" status, instead of the predicted "Refused" or "Administrative Processing".

14 Aug 24: consulate reply, they are currently processing visa.  CEAC status changes to "Approved" (no refused or AP statuses prior).

15 Aug 24: CEAC case status changed to "Issued"
