Happy New Year everyone!

NOA1 was received at the Vermont Service Center 9/15/08.

Last updated 9/18/08

Have NOT had any touches since.

I called USCIS and they were not able to provide much clarity or specifics on when I will receive my NOA2.

Anyone else in a similar situation in regards to the filing dates?

Any estimates on when I may hear back with the NOA2?

I've waited a little over 3 months, I'm just worried that USCIS will request a RFE...and that will push back the processing time even more...

If the USCIS does request a RFE approx how long will this delay the processing time? What sort of RFE do they usually request for?

After browsing a handful of posts, I've come across people with very fast turnaround times for the NOA2 to very slow ones.

Any thoughts, feedback, and responses?

Thanks

Im sorry you are at VSC. But they usually approve K-1's faster than spousal visas,so you shouldnt have much longer. Have you seen any others approved that filed when you guys did?

I hope you hear something soon.

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

Nobody will know when you will get the NOA2, thats why when you call they give you an unclear answer, VSC has been very slow, you just have to wait... average time takes about 4-6 months.

Hurry up and wait. Surely you are kidding? Look in the advanced time line and set for China and VSC.

Average time is running about 4-5 months. However if your interview is in Guanzhou, expect to wait another 4-5 months before you get called for the interview assuming all your "packets" are in order. It's a very long journey, so be patient. Expect to wait a long, long time in China for the interview. Get your feet better grounded in reality. Hurry up and wait. Good luck. Our Noa 1 date is 8-20-08 so we are also waiting.
