You are at Texas service center according to your timeline, so expect around 8-11 months before I130 approval, unless the processing times increase. Keep in mind, an I130 approval is NOT a visa approval. You have a long journey ahead of you still. Keep patience, it’s needed for this process

Yes.... I'm aware what it is, I  just wanted to know how long before I receive the noa2   I just notice everyone has different experiences. So no one really knows when it's just the luck of the process

The I-129F (k3 visa) is for the fiance visa & spouse visa. I checked the box that said spouse.

I completed the I-129F form, submitted the same supporting evidence that I did with the I-130, and a copy of the NOA1 with the K3 visa application. My I-130 was approved a month after I submitted the I-129F.

Perhaps it was the I-129F petition that sped it up, not sure. I called the NVC and they are working on petitions received 9/23/19. They received my petition 10/17/19.

 

I received my NOA2 9/27/19. 

Wow.... congrats

Since you already paid the fee for the I-130 petition you do not need to pay for the spousal K3 visa application.

It took approximately three months for me, but I think the I-129F from helped speed up our process. 

How much did you pay for the K3?

There are no additional fees for the K-3 spousal.
