I've missed all friends in this thread since we've been waiting together so long 😅
Just an update after I got NOA2 on Feb 20th (213 days), March 26th- we called NVC to ask for a case number and we got it after on hold for an hour.
Hopefully we make it to the next shipment to the embassy.
 
To some cases that are still waiting, wish you good luck and hear something soon. ❤️

Greetings all:
 
Just received our NOA2 letter in the mail, the notice date is 2/25/19. Grateful for the opportunity to finally move forward in the process.
 
Blessings to everyone.

K1 is the fastest way but that is a fiance visa, so that's unavailable once you marry. Most people would recommend CR-1/IR-1 visa anyway - this is the marriage visa and takes 12-15 months on average so she can't make it in time for your brother's wedding. You may be eligible for Direct Consular Filing: https://www.visajourney.com/content/dcf. DCF can be extremely fast in some stages but unlikely you'll finish the entire process in 2 months.
 
1. This is easily DIY if you follow the guides https://www.visajourney.com/content/guides/. People will help if you have specific questions but you'll unlikely find someone patient enough to explain "everything". Your first step is to file the i130 and i130a, along with supporting documentation.
2. Fastest way is the CR-1/IR-1 if you married (better than the K-1). 12-15 months on average (perhaps less with DCF).
3. As above.
4. You can do this process fairly easily on your own. Lawyers are needed if you have particular challenges to overcome, e.g. if her previous denials were due to illegal activities then lawyers can help with waivers.
5. Guides can show you how much this will cost. I have done the CR-1 and start to finish it has been approx $ 1,500

Congratulations 👍👍👍

My Moroccan husband was approved for a K1 visa in July 2017. Happy to answer any questions you have. We did not use an attorney, I organized and filed all of the paperwork myself. 

I have been a silent member since July, today i checked on our case and it was approved on 22nd. 228 days of worry and long wait.  Big thanks for all the active member on this platform, because of you the long journey is less lonely and most time reduced the frustration.

I got approved on Feb 19, (221 days from NOA1)

I was able to get in touch with Uscis earlier and they told me my case number is still considered on the normal processing time and I should be hearing an update within 1 month. Just staying positive and hopefully hearing an update soon. 

No, your fiance does not need to go with you.

Hi June filers! We got our NOA1 email in July 5th, Waitting for hard copy 😁. How about you?

We are on our way to the California Service Center! 

I’m not 100% sure. I live in FL I saw that TX usually processes FL cases but I’ve seen many going to California. I will let you know once I receive confirmation!
