Welcome, christian sister! So, which service center has your case? That will help determine how long it takes. There are many other factors as well. I'm sorry to say that Christmas in US with hubby is highly unlikely; however, with God anything is possible!

USCIS: 307 days from NOA1 to NOA2 (no RFE's)

15JUN2012 USC married in Côte d'Ivoire
13AUG2012 I-130 sent by FedEx to Chicago
15AUG2012 I-130 packet delivered to mailroom, per FedEx.com
18AUG2012 NOA1, rcvd SMS & email saying case is routed to Vermont Service Center, later rcvd by snail mail
21AUG2012 the date on next I-797C received only by snail mail, says petition transferred to Lee's Summit,MO
28AUG2012 "touch" (website shows case was updated)
03OCT2012 the date casefile was sent to Atlanta, per phone call with ISO
01FEB2013 infopass at Atlanta, casefile has not even been assigned to anyone yet!

21JUN2013 NOA2, email received! USCIS website is updated! No SMS was received.

Letter rcvd later by snail mail from NBC, Lee's Summit, MO; however, I know file was adjudicated in Atlanta.

NVC:

11JUL2013 the date NVC says they received our file

19JUL2013 called and got Case # and IIN #, gave email addresses

22JUL2013 received DS-3032 and AOS invoice by email, mailed DS-3032

Click here for historical processing times

From the link above it looks like the average is about 309 days from NOA1 to Interview.

Plan on Christmas next year in the US.

Thank you.I was wondering how long it usually take to get a CR1 visa? filed papers in August 8th.Is it possible to celebrate Christmas in US with hubby?

Given that the petition was filed in August, celebrating Christmas in the US this year is very unlikely.

Oh my god. A little complicated!I am not sure which center is.My hubby said it's sent to Chicago.Seems i have to wait 2 years to have baby from now on?As Treva said,With god,anything is possible.I wish only take 5months.by the way. you two make perfect couple!

Chicago is the intake facility, from there it will be sent to either the service center located in California or Vermont. Ask your husband what the first 3 letters of the receipt number are on the notice. If the first three letters are EAC, the file will be adjudicated in Vermont, if the first three letters are WAC, the file will be adjudicated in California.

Where are you hearing that you have to wait 2 years to have a baby? There is no such restriction. I'll surmise the 2 year thing you are referencing is removing conditions on residency. If you have been married to your US Citizen spouse for less than two years when you enter the US using a spousal visa, then you are given a green card that is valid for two years. Within 90 days prior to the expiration of that green card, you have to file to remove conditions on residency; when that process is complete, you will have a green card with 10 years validity. Don't worry about the removal of conditions process at this juncture, focus instead on the visa process.

Don't you need to say **Organizer hat on** when you're done?
