All the best guys! Dont worry..A lot of dates we see around are not written in stone. So have faith and be with your partner and work on the relationship meanwhile and create memories  

Thats the reason I sent that link - that we should not rely much on the dates posted on the website

Add a week or 2 these days to have more realistic expectations

Below ur own timeline once u fill all ur dates

NoA2 will have the approval date and the validity of this approval which is 4 months from that date. 
You should call the NVC in 8 days-2weeks once you get the NoA2 to know when your file leaves for the country's embassy so you get get your medical and appointments done in time.
NoA2 comes in same format as NoA1. Except that its the most awaited
Please add inputs to what i said guys. Thanks. 
 

Yes i removed a few outliers from the list...those with more than 200 days as well those with less than 15 days..these are exceptional cases but could skew the average, so i removed them to find a more accurate average. 
1 year almost for NOA2  thats so sad and mustve been a trying time for you. You should've started calling them or went some diplomatic route after 5 months.
