You are still within the normal processing time. It's currently taking anywhere from 3-4 months for NOA2. It's a frustrating wait, but you will get there. :)

If you are going through the visa process and will be interviewing in Casablanca, Morocco, join us over at the

Have anybody had to wait 70-80 days for their Noa2? 

We had 75 days n we still waiting for Noa 2 what we should do please help thank you 

There are some folks sitting at 120+ days. A bunch more at 100+. Today is day 97 for me, and my patience is wearing thin. You would be very lucky to hear in the next week or 2. You should expect around another month.

You have a long line ahead of you buddy. We are at 111 days since noa1 and 117 since receipt. The visa processing times usually are updated every month on the 15th and they haven't even touched it since January 31st. Also there's still hundreds even before me. A TON of people applied before dec 26th because visa fees nearly doubled after this deadline so there was a spike in submissions causing a bottleneck. 

 

BTW, yay Brazil :)

We received NOA-1 on 24 October. We are waiting for NOA-2 for almost 6 months. Although their site is not updated for about 1 month. They write that they are now considering petitions on October 15. But this is outdated information. Unfortunately. So .... All the patience!

If you're waiting past 6 months, that's out of regular processing times. You should send a service request online and contact your congress person as well
