I'm currently at 184 days and I'm seeing people with very similar timelines and terms of the CSC and submit it to the Philippines who are going to noa2 already at 172 to 180 days. I wonder if some files are looked at first for a reason or maybe mine got misplaced in a stack on someone's table. 

 

Frustrated 🤪

We’re at 262 days already and our case is still pending. 

 

You’re still within the normal processing time. Be patient

Country of beneficiary has zero impact.  Some background checks take longer.  Could be a myriad of reasons

YMMV

It is currently taking 6-8 months for an I-129F to be approved. There have even been cases that took close to 12 months to be approved. Just be patient.

For us the predicted timeframe in our timeline was pretty close as a predictor of approval, yours is coming up in just a few days, no guarantee but...

Transferred cases generally take longer. Or at the very least, the estimate provided on VJ looks at other people with TSC -> CSC cases to make the estimate, which is a very small sample size (others who incorrectly put TSC transferred to CSC).

Once your petition is approved, you need to understand that there will be months of waiting after that before an interview for a visa happens.  Look at the average wait times on VJ AFTER NOA2.  It usually takes a month or sometimes two for the case to be sent by USCIS to NVC, then more time before a NVC case number is assigned.  More forms need to be completed, documents submitted, fees paid by the beneficiary at the NVC stage.  Then after all this is done and complete, NVC sends the file to the appropriate consulate abroad where the interview will be scheduled.  More time to wait.  Based on average VJ member wait times, you will have a few months AFTER the petition is approved before the interview, most likely next year sometime.  Study the process and look at NVC to interview threads and you will see how long those stages can take.  You're getting ahead of yourself by assuming that after the petition is approved that is the end of the process.  The NVC step, and then interview step, can both takes weeks or months.  If all goes well, you may get an interview in January or February of 2019 but the whole thing is so unpredictable.  Good luck with the waiting... it's not fun.

Hey!! 

 

I was approved last Friday and getting my visa on Monday!! Took 279 days without any RFE’s (visa in hand). I wouldn’t recommend making plans whatsoever as you never know whether you’ll get an RFE (if and when). Make plans for interviewing when you get NOA2. Ours took 184 days which is a god send, no RFE. Times aren’t getting shorter. Just play it by ear. I near fell to my knees when we got approved last Friday in London. I know it’s tough! 

 

Good luck, 

Jon 

Yes I changed my plans. I will gobthere once the noa2 is approved. It could be tomorrow or another 40+ days...

I hired a lawyer... Told her if it m5 finance is here before Christmas I would pay her an extra 1k. Hope she didnt leave anything unchecked 

That's unlikely to happen even if everything goes perfectly at this point. Expect 1 month from approval to embassy, then another month for interview, AP, and getting the passport back.

Nov/Dec tends to be slower processing months in my experience....holidays, vacations, etc.

But it is out of your lawyer’s hands.
