I am speechless. I have always met my  fiance not more than 4 months. This time I am really unhappy and do not know what is next!

I know the feeling. I called USCIS yesterday for the second time. The only she told me was they didn't need any additional info from me

120 days 

Ugh, that sucks. I'm sorry! I'm barely at 90 days! I can't imagine how crazy I will be going by the time I reach 120 days of waiting. :wacko:

The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered "Man.... Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."

- The Dalai Lama

I read somewhere for Australia that the average time from embassy receiving the packet to interview is between 10 and 28 days, but that they quote 1-2 months. So if you allow 3 weeks from NOA2 to NVC, 1 week NVC to embassy, then 4 weeks embassy to interview (in which time you get your medical done), and one week for passport to arrive from the embassy after the interview, you're looking at 9 weeks from NOA2 to having the visa in hand. Then its just a case of booking your flights.

 

Hope that helps you plan things out!

Thank you! :-)
Yeah, that was my "calculation" as well. But I'm still only gonna book me a flight once I have my passport back, or the consular officer says "you'll receive your passport next week".
I was guessing to make it to fly out in the first or second week of September. IF everything goes well from now on - after this ... grahhhh.... NOA2 will finally be here! :)

Sadly, only Frankfurt. I did a mini-trip in Europe on my way to visit my fiance for the first time. I only had about 10 days to see London, Paris, Amsterdam, and it was much cheaper to fly out of Frankfurt so I made that my last stop. I would love to go to Berlin and Munich someday though! 

Frankfurt has some nice old city district! But hard to find if you don't know. I've been there so often and had no clue until I went out with a friend and she showed me! :)

Yeah Berlin is always worth a trip! My 2nd favorite city after Hamburg... my heart city! <3

99 days here, hopefully i will have it (NOA2) in the 100th day, if i would ,I'll send everyone here mangoooooes, hahaha.

Day 103 from received date, day 98 from notice.
It's starting to annoy me. HOPEFULLY something will happen this week.

I scanned around on the case tracker. Still no approvals visible there - except for the ones from June 21st, where they must have mistaken and fixed the tracker for a day :P - but plenty of RFE sent out until June 27th... so.. at least they're doing SOMETHING there. We might be squished in the middle. 

Sighs!

Cheer up, girl! According to your timeline (that, BTW, moved on the right direction for once, yay!), today was the first day of your estimated dates. Also seeing RFE's around you is not a bad sign.

I know it's annoying and frustrating, but it will arrive sooner or later... sooner better than later, of course, so your plans work for moving in September :)

Hah, actually tomorrow is the first day, not today :P

Hahaha, you're my favorite stalker!!! :D
I just looked up my timeline, which I've tried to ignore, and saw it moved back in the right direction. Not that that would mean anything, but it's a glimpse of hope.

Yeah, seeing so many RFE dates on the tracker makes me dare to hope for an approval, since we got no RFE yet and should in this virtual pile around those dates. But even if it's one... at least someone took the cookie plate of our folder! :D 

Jump and carry on. One sleep til the next chance! 
Thank you for encouraging! Where's the hug-emoticon when you need it? :D
