I sent in my application for my fiance on July 17, 2013. I received my NOA1 on July 25, 2013. I was ready to wait for 5 months, like the wait time says for the California Service Center. I just got the NOA2 in the mail the other day (August 27, 2013), saying it was approved and was being sent to the consulate in Tegucigalpa. I am thrilled that it was so fast!! I am wondering if anyone has any insight into why it was so fast?

Amazing to hear many people get approved faster, lately. Unlikely used to be. I saw another VJer got approved in just 19 days and he said did not expedited his I-129F. Anyway, congrats for both of you.dancin5hr.gif

Lucky!!!...mine took almost 10 times the length of your wait!! Don't know how they do it, seems like it's a lucky dip when they're working on cases. Does seem to be processing much faster this year though. Congratulations and all the best!

This is amazing NEWS!! I did see the other report of rapid approval but now that I see your (also from Honduras like mine) I am very anxious--

they are NOT sending to the NVC? but straight through to the consulate in Teguc?

My petition is an I-130 my wife and daughter(s) are in Honduras waiting for the process to move along.. I hope and pray for a speedy process--

congrats to you.

I have seen a few recently being approved really quickly. Sometimes you get your petition sent in during a 'sweet spot' for approvals. Congrats!

And yes, the case will go through the NVC first, get a case# and then continue onto the consulate.

Ours went from NOA1 to NOA2 in 42 days. We were shocked because it's typically a wait of 4 to 6 months, and sometimes more. I asked the same question you've asked. Many people replied, saying the process has been going quite unusually fast lately.
