Pleaaase can somebody tell me how long does the K-3 Visa take to be approved? I am an Algerian citizen married to a US citizen. My hsuband who is now in USA had applied for the i-130 form and i-129f. He received the NOA of the first form in July 16,2013 and the second of the i-129f in August 12,2013. It has been almost 6months, so can somebody tell me how long does usually the visa process take to be approved?

My I129F for K3 was processed along with I130. I130 approval was 235 days from NOA1. Pl see my timeline for details.

approve a visa?

usually 0 to 30 days after the visa interview.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

you can learn the steps on this website,

if'n you have no desire on waiting for the NOA2.

Are you using NOA-2 arrival as a touchstone, thinking instructions would be coming from US Government, paper, postal mail to you?

I hope not !

-----------

Congratulations on your petition approval ! When you get a moment, please talk with your petitioner, show him / her this website and mention LingChe for searching. Thanks !
