Hi all, so things so far have been relatively fast for us. Myself and Fiance sorted our documents in a timely fashoin and sent them away on the 27th of december 2013. We got a notice that they had been recieved 2 days later and an email with our case number on 2nd Jan 2014. Hard copy of this arrived 7th Jan and we then had the alien registration number changed on the 9th Jan. This seems like everything has been pretty quick but i cannot find any info on average processing times for NOA2.

I tried looking at the history and trends but I dont really understand the graphs. When i go to the uscis site and try the processing times they all just give the generic 6 months wait. Can anyone shed any light on how long it will take to get to NOA2?

Hey!! :) some couples here say that they process going pretty fast the last couple of months!

I think noa2 takes around 5 months but it depends! U cant be sure about the date.

What u can do is to complete ur timeline here on ur profile and give exactly the dates u sent i129f and when u got the noa1 and it will tell u an estimate date.

01-08-2013 : We decided to be a couple and walk on the same life path!!!!

06-08-2013 : I traveled to the US to stay with my man for 3 months. We got engaged!!!!

Click on your name in the top right corner of the screen, go to "My Settings" and then "Signature."

Five months is still the average processing time for the NOA2. Some people get them much faster, some take longer. Even if all your paperwork is in order and they don't have to request further evidence, it's just the luck of the draw as to when you'll get pushed through. Be patient and hang in there!
