NOA2 currently takes at least 3 months. In some cases it can be less, others more. 

 

We are a March filer. Took us 88 days to get NOA2. I wouldn't say that's the norm because a lot of my fellow March filers only got their NOA2 past 90 days. Some took more than 120 days. Even while March filers were being handed NOA2, there were filers from previous months who were still waiting for theirs.

 

Right now, all you can do is sit back and wait :)

For my I-129F, K-1, AOS, EAD, AP and ROC detailed timelines, please refer to my timeline page :)

ROC filed on December 1, 2020, assigned to SRC, approved within 106 days on February 18, 2021.

My sincerest gratitude to all VJers, especially the late geowrian.

Sorry, I didn't look at your timeline so I didn't know you guys filed in March. What a stinker you haven't gotten your NOA2 :( Join in the March 2017 filers thread if you're not already there.

 

 

For my I-129F, K-1, AOS, EAD, AP and ROC detailed timelines, please refer to my timeline page :)

ROC filed on December 1, 2020, assigned to SRC, approved within 106 days on February 18, 2021.

My sincerest gratitude to all VJers, especially the late geowrian.

If you've gotten the papercopy of the NOA1, the text and e-mail aren't important now. Next important thing would be the hardcopy NOA2. No text or e-mail for NOA2 if you're wondering.
