Heh... It took 8 months for us via the Texas Service Center. Some people may be luckier than others, but you really shouldnt expect to be done before at least 5 months. No one here can give you a hard timeline... You'll have to be patient.

I can understand your impatience and true, CSC is processing really fast now but few months of wait is still a normal wait time between NOA1 and NOA2.

Btw your timeline says Armenia as consulate instead of Naples (common mistake on VJ), im not an expert but this could probably alterate the reliability of statistics here.

I would say wait another few weeks and in case nothing happens try to find out if your petition is simply under a pile of new cases waiting for the approval on the desk of someone.

23 December 2014 I-129F SENT

29 December 2014 NOA1

12 January 2015 NOA2

29 January 2015 NVC CASE NUMBER ASSIGNED

09 February 2015 CONSULATE RECEIVED

03 March 2015 MEDICAL EXAM

04 March 2015 INTERVIEW: APPROVED!

05 March 2015 VISA IN HAND

12 March 2015 POE
