Congrats. I have heard the wait for interviews at Montreal is brutal so be patient and spend the time making sure you have all your documents in order for when the happy interview day arrives.

May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!

Well I expected to wait the 5 months for the NOA2 out of California. My husband received it today!!!! Only 3 months and no REF's. We are very excited now. I have checked on timelines for Montreal from NOA2 to interview. Says 225 days. anyone get there sooner?????

Congratulations!

Yes, lately CR1 petitions have gotten approved, even sooner than K1s?! While I am happy for you (and others who have received NOA2s of their I-130s), I am jealous and upset! Fiance visas were supposed to be faster (historically faster). I want my NOA2, too!

August 23, 2010 - I-129 F package sent via USPS priority mail with delivery confirmation.

August 30, 2010 - Per Department of Homeland Security (DHS) e-mail, petition received and routed to California Service Center for processing. Check cashed. I-797C Notice of Action by mail (NOA 1) - Received date 08/25/2010. Notice date 08/27/2010.

After 150 days of imposed anxious patience...

January 24, 2011 - Per USCIS website, petition approved and notice mailed.

January 31, 2011 - Approval receipt notice (NOA 2) received by mail. Called NVC, given Santo Domingo case number, and informed that petition was sent same day to consulate.

Called Visa Specialist at the Department of State every day for a case update. Informed of interview date on February, 16 2011. Informed that packet was mailed to fiance on February, 15 2011.

February 21, 2011 - Fiance has not yet received packet. Called 1-877-804-5402 (Visa Information Center of the United States Embassy) to request a duplicate packet in person pick-up at the US consulate in Santo Domingo. Packet can be picked-up by fiance on 02/28.

March 1, 2011 - Medical exam completed at Consultorios de Visa in Santo Domingo.

March 9, 2011 at 6 AM - Interview, approved!

March 18, 2011 - POE together. JFK and O'Hare airports. Legal wedding: May 16, 2011.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.

-Henry David Thoreau

I think there was a lot of upset in the past because fiance visas were being processed more quickly than family-based petitions, which understandably doesn't seem fair. That's why they created the K-3, to sort of even the playing field. Now that processing times are more comparable between the CR-1 and the K-1, the K-3 isn't needed anymore.
