processing time between NOA1 and NOA2

[claudi1176 2]

Hi everybody - we have filed the I129F on 10-29-2013 and received NOA1 on 10-31-2013. When I look at other people's timelines (especially the K1 approvals for Jan and Feb) there were so many people that got their NOA2 within 2 months. Our application is at the Texas Service Center and I am from Germany and already have a Soc Sec number since I have lived and worked in the US in the past.

Does anybody else have the same problem. If your application is in Texas, how long did it take between NOA1 and NOA2 for you? Any answers would be greatly appreciated! THANK YOU ALL and GOOD LUCK!

wow.. that is really unfortunate.. it definitely isn't unheard of to take that long.. But it still sucks when it does.. the USCIS has listed a time frame of 5 months... once it's been 5 months.. you can call and inquire about the hold up...

One question though.. how did you receive the NOA the very next day? that seems incredibly fast since they need time to receive the application and then send out the NOA1?

I have no idea, how that went so fast. I just looked at th I797C - Notice of Action 1 again and it says received 10.29. - notice date 10.31. I believe we got it in the mail a week later or so.

I moved your initial topic asking about TSC processing times to the USCIS Service Centers as that there have been numerous recent threads about that topic at that forum. It seemed like a "better fit" than the general K-1 Fiancee Process and Procedures Forum, and would likely get more specific responses to your inquiry about the TSC at the Service Centers forum. Rather than multiple re-post of your initial topic, a report to the mods would have been more appropriate.

Good luck on your visa journey.

Duplicate threads merged and placed in K1 Progress Reports.

Where is my thread??? I wanted it in PROCESSING TIMES and it was moved to SERVICE CENTERS. I tried to report it, but now I think it has been completely removed from both forums??? Where is my question???

We received our NOA1 on 15th of October and STILL are waiting for NOA2...we are in Texas as well...

It is sooo long I would never thought that it can take so fuckin looong

I'm also waiting at TSC but my NOA1 date is November 25th... At least I know I'm in good company

I just don't understand why you sometimes read "now dates so and so are processed..." - I have read that even people that got their NOA1 in January and February (from Texas Service Center) have received their NOA2. Aren't they doing it in the order applications come in? I don't understand...

Petitions are NOT adjudicated in the order they're received, for a multitude of reasons. To us it makes no sense, it would be better if they were done on a first come, first serve basis. But it's not.
