I have a question. For those who have been waiting their NOA2 over 120 days, will making a phone call work? Or all we can do is waiting? 

Look at the date you were in the system.. you can judge where you are by some by those around you. We say "Approved"  (Which really means  Touched or your in RFE status, but moving along. Etc.)

If it is clear most are being looked at around you say 2-3 weeks after yours, by all means call.  

It's the waiting game that kills couples! Especially for the women. (And double that, if they are Pinay hahahaha  It's part of the culture!)   

FYI, use the Not the NOTICE date for your NOA1 and not the "received date" which is confusing, for the # of days out...

For the VJ spreadsheets it will be the Received Date to see those around you based on your WAC #. 

Ours is supposed to be April 7-12 so about now!   And yes, she is a nervous wreck.  I am trying to stay strong.

Why don't you share your VJ log in to your fiance so she could explore the site her self. If it matters, I'm actually the beneficiary and I'm the one who signed up and created this profile. My fiancee just doesn't have the time read on here. But anyway pretty much all we (or most of us at least) know about the K1 process, including estimates are on here. VJ is the best resource there is on different US visas. From checking the K1 timelines I gathered that approvals could take up to 90 days but could be longer. And checking threads like this, exchanging comments, you will pick up a few things that could answer your question.

She has our name and password on here..  Just makes her too nervous.  hahahahaha 

Just hope it is soon. 

I am OK with the "process" of being vetted that we all go through to get our K1 visa.

If it was too easy, it does not have value, right?  It angers me to no extent how some walk across into the USA or shipped to "Safe Cities" to instantly have citizenship status... And collect services such as free rent, food, education, legal services, cash etc., (OK, Perhaps another topic for another time or thread.) 

So back to present reality 101:

I know My Fiance Grace is a nervous wreck at times, especially now she is disappointed questioning me, herself, and the system.  (As well as a lot of OFW in HK saying all this is fake, kidding her, and hard for her to save face and keep saying it will be soon.  And let's face it most of the other females are just jealous, too.) Even some in her family now thinking something is wrong too???  My family is anxious as well?  No one understands the wait period and lack of feedback we all get to a review date.  I am like approve us, give me an RFE even, I'm ready, we have proof of what's needed, I spent time with her we talk every day, etc., and we "fit the profile" to be together with no problems.

I am 55, she is 41, we want to get on with our lives together too. 

That said... And realizing it's more intense as a Philippina thing.   hahahaha Drama, It's true! And I don't wanna go into Tampo either. (other Pinoy men know EXACTLY what I mean lol )  I am trying to give her assurance it is soon as others around us finally being reviewed, we should be soon!  

Any advice to calm her down?  She takes this sooo personally! What do you tell others around you, and especially to your fiance, that it just takes time, please relax?

We're December 6 / NOA1 December 9 filers. We're still waiting and untouched as far as we can tell. I keep worrying that they've actually lost a box of December 5-12 and its sitting in the back corner of someone's office. There are so many cases on the list from that time frame...It's very unsettling.  

I hear ya.. our Received date is Dec 27th... over 462 on that day alone.. please find us...

I do hope it is your week

How did you estimate it? Is it somewhere in this site? or did you do it by yourself?

Click your timeline.. bottom left side.. it's and estimate, but pretty accurate for most too!

It's based on the info you log in. We are starting to see some approved around us, I feel our turn soon!

I also work federal and neither Good Friday or Monday are holidays.

Our NOA1 dates are application received Dec 23rd and notice received Jan 5th. Keeping my fingers crossed for this week

 Malen is going to the Philippines shortly for a vacation and I hope she can get her NBI Clearence while she's home. She's only going to be home for 7 days I just hope there are no issues getting it during her short stay. She had to have one to work in Singapore but I read that she cannot just renew it like before. In the Philippines it's not required to have the embassy letter like it is in Singapore is it? I hope not. 

Wishing everyone speedy NOA2's! 

Jon&Malen

I wish her well.. make sure stamped official too..

Those of us who are still waiting, I guess our packets were placed at the very bottom of each stack assigned to every adjudicator, or he/she just took a long vacation due to kid's spring break   Anyway, let's just pray and try not to worry because eventually the good news will come to us.

Chanting my "pick mine soon" chant!!!  Hahahaha

Have been seeing a lot of people talking about going to Disneyworld with their fiancée as soon as they get here. Well, I'm going to be different and I'm going to take my fiancée to Hawaii as soon as I can. I can do that so easy because I work for an airline based here on the west coast and will be able to go there rather easily. Was there just last August 2016 with my daughter and her boyfriend as a birthday present for my daughter.

Been to Hawaii, Maui Oahu Kawaii.  Probably Maui my favorite so far! The bike ride starting at 3 am up high on the volcano 33 miles downhill was amazing!!

Look at the list here on the site.  They will also tell you. Gather pay stubs take pics of your online chats and print out from the time you sent it in.  Have the proof you met etc etc.

Disney World is the first place we are going to celebrate as well! I go every year and can't wait for our extra special celebration/honeymoon

I'm thinking take our kids too.. 15 and 13.  

If we wait too much longer, they will not have a interest in everything as much!

You should go to Shanghai Disney since you're an addict. Supposed to be bigger than Disneyworld after expansion. The Tron Ride is quite incredible. Of course all the dialogue being in Chinese is quite a unique experience for Pirates of Caribbean. 

I saw that The Cinderella Castle is bigger.  I'm not so sure about the whole park... 

This summer is the opening of Avatar in Orlando.. HUGE expansion.. and more Star Wars stuff coming I hear as well.

Fun!!! I have told my fiance that we are going there as well!  I am originally from Alaska so I spent most of my younger years on the West coast and I have only been to Disneyland in CA.  I love Disney!

PS, You can fit all of Disneyland into jut the "parking lot" for EPCOT... 

It's not a slam,  but most people in Cali have NO IDEA just how BIG Disney World and assorted parks are.

I've been to California Disney a few times, Hong Kong Disney, and many many many times to Florida Disney World, as well on the Disney Cruise line too.  (Yep an addict,  and been as a guest to "33"  too.)   

If I m looking at the "Notice Date,"  I have been wrong this whole time... We are not December 27th,  we are January 6th. WOOPS????

I was using the Received date Dec 27th, on the 197C NOA 1 ..I guess we are supposed to use the NOTICE DATE!!!

That said, our grouping in the updates is still Dec on the spreadsheets. 79015XXXX.  So I am a little confused again... Grrrr

The good news is if it is Jan 6th, no need to panic  Its now estimated April 7th - 12th.
