Holidays!

Has anyone had a very bad experience or a very good experience they could share with receiving their NOA1 in Sept and then waiting through the holidays for the NOA2? Did it slow things down tremendously or were things on time? I am just so ready for my fiance to get here along with everyone else on this website! Thanks for the help!

The only delay will be the days-off that federal employees receive for the holidays - less than one work week of lost processing days.

I do not understand the significance of this fact in relation to the OP's ? A look at the the K-1 Processing Timelines from this site show that historically last Winter saw the highest increase in processing times across the board. NVA approval to Consulate receiving the petition spiked in the sping of this year, otherwise last winter was the longest wait.

There was the rush of applications the prior year, creating systemic delays. However barring any further developments to expedite the process, this winter could be as long or longer than lasts (due to the exponential increase in applicants).

Dig in deep friends, it's going to be a long cold winter.

I filed last week and got a Feb 27 to March 14 window for adjudication. I noticed someone who filed around October 1st had a late Jan. adjudication. How accurate are we finding these estimates based on timelines to be?

All the best to everyone

Simple. For those of us who filed before you and may be getting noa2's shortly, we will be looking to travel at the Holidays, which is peak and expensive.

USCIS won't shut down over the holidays, like some other government depts they probably do shift work and may slow down only around the couple of days of xmas and new year.
