I received my NOA1 on 2017-10-06 and its being processed in the California Service Center (CSC) with a case number starting with WAC###... Here is my question, VJ is saying my NOA2 wont be get approved until April or May with the current backlog. But what confuses me is the  CSC processing times are still showing 5 months for NOA2 while VJ data is showing 7-8 months.

Does anyone know whats going on with that ? Why inst the backlog shown in the official CSC processing times website ?

Don’t trust timeframes on USCIS. They hardly ever update their website. On a side note, even though VJ timelines are more reliable than USCIS, it’s still just as estimate and it will most likely take longer than that as well given how slow USCIS is now.

 

K1 visas are taking around 7 months to receive NOA2, another 2 months to get to NVC and then from then on is dependent upon which embassy. Some countries are faster than others. Don’t plan anything until you have your visa in hand, and sit back and relax cause it’s gonna be a while.

The entire process is different for everyone - it takes as long as it takes.  So don't expect anything based on estimated time's on USCIS, VJ or any where else.  

 

Be patient because you have a long wait ahead.

 

Sorry...
