Oh! Come On! Where are the NOA2's?

[IndigoSkies 168]

Furthermore, as you can see from above figure, if you're name starts with Q, it takes the longest amount of time to approve your case. Noone trusts the Q's. On the other hand the Ivory's, the Ivana's and the Isma'il get to enjoy an unprecedented delay of only 46 days between NOA1 and NOA2. It doesn’t matter which of the spouse’s initial is I. As long as one of the spouse is I’s, it’s all good.

What other ridiculous information can I come up with?

PS: I actually spelled 'ridiculous' correctly. I always want to spell it like 'rediculous.'

IndigoSkies, Can you do it by removing some of the out of the ballpark outliers?

I should worry if my middle name is missing from my NOA1? And if my NOA1 is on its 92nd day? I hate waiting

Looks like they just started March. There were a few March 1st application approved in the last two days. Your turn is coming. WIthin a week if nothing is wrong.

That's what I did on the first picture. I took out the outliners.

I took out 10% outliners on both ends. And the average I got was 79 days between NOA1 and NOA2. I keep coming with numbers between 67 and 97. Looks like the range you can expect your NOA2 is between 2.1 months and 3.1 months.

I'm working on figuring out how long does NOA2 take if you got your NOA1 in January, February, ... December. Should be interesting. Hold for more analysis.

Glad you like to have fun with numbers! Interesting data you have there.

Hey everyone, on my NOA1 it shows Feb 26 as Received Date and Notice Date is March 5th. So, it will be three months (very long three months) coming this 5th. I am really really hoping and praying god that hopefully I will receive my NOA2 in next couple of weeks. Can anyone tell me where I can check what month or day USCIS California Service Center is working on as of yet? Also, is it reasonable to think after I get my NOA2 in TWO months if everything goes through fine than I can expect my lovely wife to be here? . This wait kills me

SimAsh - you should be hearing soon from USCIS. Based on what I am seeing on Igor's list (see page 1 of this thread link is posted by Teya), Month of march just started and you should be next. If everything goes well, here is what will happen after you get your NOA2:

2 weeks to get a case number

4 weeks to get through NVC (without RFE)

4 weeks to get an interview call (may be less)

Thanks, JohnDoe12. What do you mean by without RFE? So, my guess about 2 months is right if everything goes through smooth. Thanks again.

[johndoe12 2]

RFE mean request for evidence from either USCIS or NVC stage. Basically everything going really smoothly as you said it.

I believe NOA2 is back to taking the full 5-6 months again SADLY! :-/

Wow I never expected you to get into this much detail haha, but very cool! I am a bit disappointed though...my name starts with D, and at 80 days we had to wait a lot longer than average, but maybe my wife's first name which starts with E dragged us down?

I'd never really looked at Igor's list and it was kind of disappointing to see that a number of couples who sent in the I 130 weeks after us got approved before us...oh well it's in the past.

[bobbiejim_04 0]

well if youre really anxious whats going on you could start calling USCIS 18003755283 or you could check their website USCIS.gov/case status you already had your NOA1 right?and it had your case number on the upper left corner used that when communicating with USCIS. After that when you received your NOA2 start calling NVC 6033340700 hope this help:)

[KdRjN 2]

Expect to wait quite a bit longer. According to your timelineyour NOA1 came on April 27th. My NOA1 was on 12-28 and my NOA2 on 3-18, a time period of 80 days ( but we were lucky). You have hardly even waited a month. There is a 99 percent chance that you are less than half way through your NAO2 waiting period. After its been 70 days, you can start thinking about approval, but expect it to take at least 100 days and don't be surprised if it takes 5 months. Review the timelines of people that received their NOA1s around the same time and I doubt that any of them have received their NOA2s.

It is a long long process.

I agree with you mine has been 6 months and i still did not get my NOA2 yet. ( we called them but they dont give us any information they just said we are still in frame of the process time i thought it was 5 months

Just a heads up - NVC seems to have slowed down a bit. Not by much, but at that stage every day of not knowing is frustrating. Just wanted to let you folks know it might be 5 - 6 weeks with no RFE's. But it's worth it!
