Just wanted to add that our NOA1 date is early February, and we are still waiting as well, so as others have mentioned, you're not alone.

As a side note, our application was received at the end of November, 2007, and we didn't get our NOA1 until February 2008. After looking at other people's timelines, that seems way too long. Anyone know why that would be?

2007-11-30: I-129F received by CSC

2008-02-04: NOA1

2009-03-02: NOA2

2009-03-12: Received by NVC

2009-04-16: Sent to consulate

2009-05-23: Packet 3 received

(SORRY - DOUBLE POST)

That is strange. 10 months for you now. I was feeling down because I filed in mid-March and have heard nothing. After reading of your delays, I'm glad I decided to give up and go back to my fiance in Cambodia and see what happens over the next few months. I think a year is possible for those who "fall between the cracks" and after our change of plans, we don't plan to return to the States until then (March 2009), if we get our K1 visa by that time.
