K1 Visa Processing Time

[Mathew Danicka 0]

Hello! I am new here and I'm please to meet everyone. It has been 7 months and 2 weeks since we had our NOA1 but until now, we still haven't got our NOA2 yet USCIS is already processing for August 2025 fillers. Can I ask if someone is going through the same case as ours? Can we even inquire to USCIS about this or we just wait?

The average time for USCIS to process 80% of cases right now is 10 months. Even though USCIS has started processing August filers, there are still many many July filers that haven't been processed yet. Each case is processed individually and there can be many factors as to why some cases are adjudicated before yours. The best thing you can do to preserve your sanity in this process is not compare yourself to the "Cases Around You" as certain websites let you do. Like I said, each case is processed individually. The best thing you can do while you're waiting is to become an "A-Student" on what comes next after the petition is approved (NVC stage, Embassy Stage) so that you understand exactly what you will need to do to navigate it with the least amount of friction. And I will tell you this from personal experience, it is never too early to start thinking about what to do after the beneficiary enters the country and the AOS process.

Shows that current expected time between NOA1 and NOA2 is 8 months.  Ours took 7 months 3 weeks, and the wait times have been getting slightly longer since.

It's definitely too early to worry.

Merhaba! Buraya yeni katıldım ve herkesle tanıştığıma memnun oldum. NOA1'imizi alalı 7 ay 2 hafta oldu ama hala NOA2'mizi alamadık. USCIS, Ağustos 2025 başvurularını işlemeye başlamış bile. Acaba bizimle aynı durumda olan var mı? Bu konuda USCIS'e soru sorabilir miyiz yoksa sadece beklemeli miyiz?

I received my NOA1 approval on July 10, 2025, and I'm currently waiting 8 months, 0 weeks, and 6 days. I still haven't received my NOA2 approval. They delayed the process too much in July. People around me received their approvals in July, but I still haven't. USCIS says we have to wait 10 months to make an inquiry. However, when my 9th month is up, I will request an inquiry from the USCIS office in my fiancé's area.

Stop relying on these sites that tell you about the "People Around You". Those sites are garbage... the only firm data they can give you is from a small subset of cases that also sign up to that site. There are still hundreds of people waiting for approval from July and the months before. You have to understand that USCIS picks a subset of cases to process out of each month to keep their average processing time down. The thing I hate most about those sites is that every case is unique and what happens to the "People around you" has exactly zero bearing on your case. You would be better served becoming an "A Student" on the processes that follow (NVC, Embassy, AOS phases) so that you are well prepared
