Ok, I know this is trivial but today got NOA1! It will be quite a wait from here but at least they have it. I was at work tonight when text came. It's funny how now even the slightest bit of news will get me all excited. Hopefully, no RFE's but looks like timeline for NOA2 won't be until July...ugh! hope it's sooner. wish us luck! :dance:

Good luck. Gt mine for my second K1 Petition in 2 years. It is funny. the first one I filed in January 2010 was apporived with NOA2 on March 2, 2010, and then with the interview and VISA approval at the US Embassy in Manile, that total time from NOA1 until VISA approved was only 4 months and 5 days and I had one RFE that caused a 2 week delay. I don't know why USCIS is so slow right now. I am frustrated because this is my second K1 Petition, I also file the IMBRA waiver for limitations, I have no history of violence or crimes or abuse of the VISA/petitioning process contained within IMBRA. Just wish USCIS was so slow. Like I said my first one was completely done in 4 months 5 days, so I was hoping the second one would be as quick. Wishful thinking I guess. Take care. Updae us when you get NOA2.
