Hello everyone,

I filed my K-1 visa petition (Form I-129F) with the California Service Center on **January 10, 2025*

It’s now been about **4 months** since my NOA1.

I’m looking to hear from anyone who filed around **December 2024 or January 2025** and has already received their NOA2 (approval). Specifically:

- When did you file (approximate date)?  
- How long did it take for you to get NOA2 after NOA1?  
- Did you receive an RFE, or was it approved without one?

Any insights or timelines would be really helpful. Thanks in advance! 🙏

You can search timelines to find others who filed around the same time, and there may also be a thread for Jan 2025/Dec 2024 filers. But average processing time is 8.5 months so not sure you'll find many (any?) who've been approved yet. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

 

Good luck.

When I was waiting for my NOA2, I was using ** and the stats showed that the week I filed was being completely skipped over. No idea why, could be any reason. 

 

I'd say that expecting approval in 4 months is incredibly hopeful... Average is more like 8+ depending on your circumstances.
