Same here. My calculation is August.  
If this is the case, might fly September coz I would still have a month's clearance after I tender my resignation from work.
 
That's close to 2019 already. SMH

in your position I would not set up a fix date for anything, me and James we decided to do the courthouse once I arrived there and the ceremony we can plan it when I am there already.
don't want to give you more additional anxious but I think it's kinda pushing it for us ( Oct filers ) to leave the country by July.
NOA 2 - April
NVC + 2 monh ---June
Interview - VOH - 2 Month = August
 
this is at least my calculation lol xD

I really doubt if you can do that. October filer. 8 months for USCIS. 2 months to send the files and one months at NVC is already September before you get to the interview. You can probably cut a month but not much more. There is usually a week or two after the interview to  receive the passport with visa and then you have to pack and travel. This is an 11 to 12 month journey from NOA1 to POE. 

I really can't say anything with the rate they're moving now it looks pretty risky to tell the truth.
 
Only thing I can say is; I'm a September 15 filer, and my wedding date was also july 28, I'm moving it now. Cause I saw lots of people getting stressed over it on top of this waiting. And changing dates last minute, I also know someone who set everything in stone and it went to waste. So I'm not risking it till I start seeing them getting August filers before their date 180.

Ahhh I was wrong before!! I thought that was till you get the interview date!!! Awesome that's so quick for you!
 
@John & Rose thank you! 

Yes. For Bosnia the last portion is much quicker.   The rest is the same. 

So USCIS had their first full day back after the holiday weekend- I’m hoping for all my July filers that we see tons of approvals show up tomorrow !

Once it gets the NVC number it is really fast and smooth. The problem right now and those long waits is the part people are waiting for the petition to send and reach the NVC and NVC to give the case number (usually within a week but these days some People are waiting and waiting...) but after that everything is smoother mostly  
 

That would mean after you received your case number it will reach to your embassy (normally) in 10 days and yes that is the part on 3: at NVC. From reaching to embassy to you getting your interview scheduled, and after the interview till you get your passport back is embassy specific.

Not really sorry.
UK and phillipines is the one with most people and that's why I know. And NZ is famous for being quick...
 
when you put your country in your timeline, it should have an option of search for similar cases, from there try checking if there's anyone around, that sometimes help.
 
or google "Bosnia" "visa journey" k1" or similar searches together, this also brings up topics about Bosnia and you may find some info.

I’ve heard that someone from July 5th today got what looked like NOA2

Keep in mind it depends on which embassy. Some are known for being a lot faster than others. I've heard the Philippines is very quick. My fiance has to use the London US embassy. I think they're pretty efficient as well. 

We set our wedding July 18, 2018!
 

I hope/think that they will, that’s an entire month for them to crack down on it.

Next Federal holiday is February 19.  Let's hope they get a lot done before that.

And hopefully since they don’t have many federal holidays coming up, the times will become less and the process will speed up- if we’re lucky !!

Right now...
 
6 to 8 months for NOA2
6 to 8 weeks to transfer files to NVC
2 to 4 weeks at NVC
1 to 3 months for interview (depends on availability)

Delete Texas service center and put California there, it effects your timeline too btw. Your case was not transferred from a center, it was assigned to California from the lockbox  
 
 
 

Omg! For the first time this process our estimated approval date has gone backwards 😁

Day 123
 
on the day 150 I'll ask fiancé to give a call to uscis, you know just as a training for him. To act like he knows no s**t just ask what's happening, when we should expect if the website says they're doing blabla date. 
 
He is doing phone sales as an interim job  (and is good at it as he was previously a radio dj) when it comes to sweet talk people.. so I suggest him to start calling as a warm up once per month 🤣🤣🤣😂😂

Just had a good chat with Jake & my Mum about wedding plans... were going to do a courthouse wedding within the 90 days & then a full wedding day in Summer 2019.
 
I feel better already, a lil defeated if thats the right word, but now to focus on the process.

C'mon USCIS! Rain us with approvals, we believe in you!

Thank you for the clarification, I was starting to worry!

Thank you for the clarification, I was starting to worry!

Hello everyone!
  I'm back.. To tell the truth going to see the fiancé and my future home, and coming back made me a little bit sad and more depressed than I was before I went... complicated times this is!   The cats are happily settled.... way too happily to tell the truth!  They did not even check or look at the cats when we were entering through LAX (This changes depending on the state - California doesn't ask for anything from cats) #Americancatfoodrocks    I can't believe so many people from June and even May friends are still waiting for NOA2...actually no, no ... I can't believe so many people are still waiting for NVC.   I won't be able to give a good weekly yet, as they are not updating properly. Which I am guessing they are not comfortable with us telling them  "Dude you are so not doing June 1 cases"   So I updated all the months even under the current circumstances,  to give an idea of how much pending case we have left. ------- Non-updated Noa2s However, my personal thoughts after seeing how the cases flow and update/non-update works. I believe June virgins are actually around 1300s, and some July cases will get their approval in the upcoming week without an update.   NVC Wait Right now average looks like 45+ days, you can also find list we are putting together in my signature if you want to check how that wait is going at the moment. This wait is caused because USCIS is not sending Approved petitions, it is not a wait happening at the NVC level. ------- I will be watching the situation through this week, to have better updates, and information on how things look.   Monthly situation is as follows;                  June       July       Aug      Sept        Oct       Nov        Total Approved 946 15 13 6   1 981 Virgin (Untouched) 1884 3263 3519 3176 3770 3304 18916 Touched (RFEs,Updates) 853 135 139 129 128 67 1451 Excluded 358 383 404 287 244 205 1881 Total 4041 3796 4075 3598 4142 3577 23229   For months after August, I would say watch for when they update the website information to July 1. Because the "as of" they'll give will show us if they will try and speed up their approvals. We already know October 31 update is not really truth, however they did by then touched all May cases. so the real update for the next one normally should be July 1 as of December 31 (which is not exactly correct either), However I expect if they actually speed up the process they may give us a July 1 as of November 30 update!   *For anyone who didn't do it yet, please get informed delivery if it's available in your area.   Monthly Virgins + Pending per dates:   10/02/17 315 10/03/17 141 10/04/17 84 10/05/17 162 10/06/17 156 10/10/17 376 10/11/17 144 10/12/17 92 10/13/17 152 10/16/17 362 10/17/17 174 10/18/17 97 10/19/17 142 10/20/17 144 10/23/17 333 10/24/17 147 10/25/17 103 10/26/17 132 10/27/17 115 10/30/17 338 10/31/17 187 Total 3896     Google drive for Monthly data: *For December cases I am gathering the info right now and will be up in a few days in this same folder https://drive.google.com/drive/u/2/folders/1nOldX1MGHgTmZYtF64gGXNHoROGIksA0    PS_I don't put this post in June, or May. Because they have a lot to deal with right now already. And there was no information that can help them at the moment. When upset and angry let's all remember that we are all in the same boat here. Good luck to all of us.
