Waiting for NAO2

[missmyfiance 0]

Hi Guys, I submitted my I129F to Vermont office end of January 2008, and I recieved my NAO1 couple days later.

Is anyone in the same boat with me for that time frame? and when do you think I will expect my NA02 i.e approval?

I am planning on Getting married in August and I am hoping that this is enough time to get the visa in hand.

I have also heard that Vermont Office has been pretty quick with the I129F applications, but looking at the timeframes on USCI website, they are still working on August 2007 applications.

Please give any insight or input on my current situation from your previous experiences.

Thank you and good luck to everyone

missmyfiance,

If you complete your timeline (Tmeline update) - it (your timeline itself) will give you a good idea of when you might expect to be approved.

The Vermont Service Center is a few months faster than the California Service Center, so you are lucky in that regard. I filed to the California Service Center 9/13 and just received my NOA on 2/04 (about 5 months). However, I have seen middle to late-December filers that filed to the Vermont Service Center get approved within the last week.

Vermont Service Center is known for speedy processing and approval so it is very likely that you will get the NOA2 anytime soon. It is not advisable to plan for anything until you really got the visa in hand. You will never know what could happen... There are cases who get stuck with FBI namecheck at NVC stage and administrative review at consulate stage.

In my own experience, my then fiance and I planned everything ahead of time. We already got confirmed wedding date set 2 mos. before my interview. My wedding gown was being made and I wasn't even here in the US yet. He booked a flight for me 3 weeks after my interview, without thinking and worrying about the possibility that the interview won't be successful. Thank heavens, it was a success and got the visa 1 week after. And that's when everything happened so fast I didn't even get the chance to catch my breath. When I finally got here, we were so stressed out and running like chickens with its head cut-off with all the final wedding preparations. The wedding turned out wonderful, everybody was happy, we were so happy but things happened so fast I couldn't remember who came to our wedding. My point here is, when you already set a date, it may turn out successfully but you will be so stressed out trying to make things right.

I have not set a date yet, But I am hoping in August. Now as far as the NAO2 approval, I feel that It would not take that long to have it in hand. Thanx for the advise
