I've watched for more than two years as my fellow January 2018 filers got approved.  Finally, today, "our" I-485 was approved.  I think they saved the best for last.  🙂  K-1 to Green Card = 3 years, 5 months, 20 days. 
 
And here's the best part = we're still madly in love!  I hope you all are, too.

A few more months?  I would add a few more years.  As of today, we are 3 years, 2 months, and two weeks waiting for a “K-1 based” green card.   To give you some background, my Mexican spouse is a former US embassy employee in leadership who had been background checked yearly by the state department.  I say humbly we are wealthy individuals.  USCIS’ current “reasoning” for the delay in issuing the green card is that they are waiting for background checks and only approving wealthier individuals.  Check, check.   We’re good, right? Um.  No.  So let’s be realistic. Anyone awaiting any step in the K-1 process should lower their expectations regarding timelines.  Then lower them more.  A bit lower than that.  Now cut those lowered expectations in half.  Cut them in half again.  Ok.  Now you’re living in reality.

I’m referring to the recent announcements of the so-called “wealth-test.”  I apologize if my comment was worded poorly.  Here is one of many reports available on the topic:

Can I share somethings with you that I learned long ago about this process?

    • "the man with the gold makes the rules"
    • it will take as long as it will take 
    • no one with any certainty can tell you when some process will be completed
    • Your sense of urgency will never be equaled to what USCIS, NVC or your embassy demonstrates
    • Your journey is not going to mirror someone else's experience - yours and theirs are not the same
    • They only promised you a YES or NO answer. Never an exact time that their decision would be completed
    • Lowering your expectations will make you a much more relaxed individual

Good luck on your journey 
 

Congrats!!!!  
 
No e-mail, no-text?  I'm guessing if you called the USCIS 800-number to ask status of your case, they would tell you that your "case is received" and you need to wait another two months and that they are only processing January files. I doubt they even know you NOA2 was issued.  🤣

Today I am happy to report that we reached 130 days since our I-129f was received.  I see that as 130 days less of waiting!  I've enjoyed reading posts on this site on a regular basis and can feel the pain that so many of you are enduring.  I, too, long to have the one I love in my arms, and I know that day will come.  From my perspective, 130 days are truly few considering I have waited my entire life to find the one I love.
