I looked at your timeline and it says you already got your NOA1, so...

If you are a US citizen it is taking 12 - 14 months.

If you are a permanent resident it is taking 2 years.

 

You have a lot more waiting to do. Nothing to worry about at this moment.

I sent in my case August 4, 2016. No RFEs and it wasn't approved until March 2017..... I also heard they are a little behind and overloaded. Unfortunately Nebraska is proceeding dates as of January 2017. With that time line I estimate your approval in February 2017.

Vetomo, I am in the same situation as you, we filed our petition in the end of june, so also waiting, and expecting to receive a NOA2 soon.

However I am a bit confused by posts in this thread.

From filing the I130 petition to the interview? I thought one could expect to receive a NOA2 after 3-5 months and then some months later be scheduled for an interview. Your timeline says you were called into interview 1.5 months after you filed your petition. Sorry if I am not reading correctly, but could you clarify?

Thought the whole process could take 12-14 months.

Hate to disappoint you of those stuck in Nebraska as they still haven't gotten through Nov 2016 cases yet, so prepare for delay. I've been stuck in that place for 327 days and still no NOA2

PD Nov- 30-2016

My process was different because I filed DCF (directly with the embassy).  That is only possible in some countries, and only if the US petitioner lives abroad with the beneficiary for a number of months before filing the petition. Because an embassy only has a few cases at a time to deal with, it is much faster than filing via the lockbox in the USA, where thousands of petitions (and not just spousal ones) need processed every day.  My case was also 9 years ago, and processing sometimes speeds up, and then slows down again.

 

3 months is optimistic for NOA 2 though it has happened, 5-8 months is more realistic, dependent on the processing center.  Then the case gets sent on, and it takes several months to finish and wait for an open interview slot.  As you say yourself in your last sentence, the whole process (from filing to interview) takes 12- 14 months

Your case is likely delayed for back ground check reasons. I've been seeing that a lot lately from Morroco on this forum.

Wrong answer

They said it is processing. They never said stuck in background checks

I’m sure you’ve called and asked for updates. What did they say, etrangais?

Nothing at all.

They just tell me to wait.

Today I'm supposed to get an answer to a service request in the mail (they claimed it was sent the 17th).

I'm pretty sure it will say to wait 60 days and if I don't hear from them to call them back.

 

I'll post here if I get it today

Processing is a universal term. Clearly you did not know the answer because you posted here for advice. No need to be rude. Good luck on your case.
