brazil Some people who got the NOA1 after us got the I-129F NOA2, really before. Should we worry?

[A and F Brazil 3]

I was looking at the time lines here and some couples who got the I-129F - NOA1 after us already got the NOA2. I'm considering the people that applied in the same country (I'm from Brazil and my fiancee from US).

 

There is a couple that got the NOA1, 20 days after us, and they got the NOA2 20 days ago.
Should we worry?

Did you receive any RFE's? That can slow it down.

 

Also, cases aren't processed in order they are received in reality. So some people work faster on processing the petitions they receive than others. Maybe, whoever has yours needed sick time off, took vacation, and your file is unfortunately sitting waiting to be completed. It's hard to say, but some will say, no news is good news because they are working on it.

You don’t say where in the US the petitioner is. I actually think the petitioner’s location is a bigger impact on timelines than the beneficiary. People who applied months after me were approved before me. It’s definitely not just a matter of the officer working slower or vacationing. Unless they vacationed for a month or worked one case a day!

 

I live in Houston which also has longer than average timelines for AOS. So I think there’s a connection but I could be wrong. It’s disheartening but nothing to worry about.

All i-129f go to the same place: California.

Not true.  GC processing times at local field offices are completely separate from I-129f petition processing times at the CSC.

I know. Didn’t say they were the same. I said *I think* there’s a connection to the local field office processing times and the I129f processing time. As in if the local office has a backlog and the CSC leverages that office for some reason it could impact processing times.

 

Do you work for them?

No, I don’t work for them, lol.   I doubt they hire nurses.

 

Our petition was processed in 185 days, which was average at that time.   The Seattle FO, which is processing my husband’s AOS is listing processing times of 15-23 months: one of the longest in the country currently.  .  He just received notice that his combo card is being produced after 132 days, out of the Missouri NBC.

 

There is definitely no connection.

Oh ok. I thought you knew definitively. I still think there’s regional differences.
