Hi Racheyy! Thanks for doing this. I sent mine in yesterday, September 12th, 2017. It's a long road, but we've done our due diligence.

All the best for you and everyone else filing the I-130 in September.:)

No, that estimated time is provided courtesy of VJ based on statistics for the Service Center that your case was placed.

For example, I was also transferred to NSC and VJ estimates me NOA 2 just on May 20-26,current, that may vary ,they estimate that (in average) is taking at NSC currently 8 months!!!

No mention in the email, but the estimated time is from my timeline on Visajourney.com. Once I put in the NOA1 date, it gave me an estimated completion date for the i-130.

That's awesome. Welcome to the thread. Lots to consider when deciding to file. I find it hard to stop thinking about it. Long road ahead, so I need to be patient. May I ask, what you sent in for bona-fide relationship evidence?

Oh okay thanks. I tried to do it but its not giving me an estimate for the I-130. Must have typed in incorrectly. Will check it out.
