that has to be old data, USCIS works in approximate order, everyone except expedites and those needing more intense background checks will be ~15months. It was 10-12months spring 2022 but has been 14months+ since summer at least. 

It has gone down a little in that some people are getting approvals at 14months but the majority are still around 15 months. USCIS is looking at Oct-Dec 2021 cases right now (Dec started last week). To get 10-12months as things stand, you have to jump the queue by 4-5months which just isn't going to happen.

 

The 6-8month cases I've seen have been expedites (which they usually don't tell you unless asked) or there was recently a case of someone being transferred to vermont and getting an approval at 7months. It is not the norm. Lawyers have constantly been shown to be out of touch (or maybe lying) about expected wait time, some still tell clients 6months which on what planet?!

Glad to see we all seemed to have gotten approvals well within 15 months! Best wishes everyone

In transit for us today too, seems NVC was on a roll! Best wishes to everyone hoping to schedule interviews before the new year.

We got our NOA2 on sept 25th and I emailed an enquiry and recieved a response in a few days that had my case number and everything on it. We went online this past friday night and filled out the ds-160 and there was no link to pay any fee. Now we dont know what to do, lol. I think we are still waiting for a welcome letter or an emailed bill for the bank to go pay a fee. We are kind of hanging in standby mode at the moment.

That's exciting. We sent another email to NVC today just in case we get lucky and they are able to ship to the embassy in the next batch or two. 

Anyone else seeing any movement from NVC? We inquired last week and they replied they had received our case but hadn't input the information yet to generate a case number.

Just checking in anyone from august heard anything??

Seems like the USCIS speed is picking up and other members are making predictions for NOA2 in -12 months.

Those people are lying, I have been looking and asking everywhere. I doubt that seriously. 

Yeah the lawyer we are using says they are seeing it in about 10-12 months for most of their clients.

This is about what we were expecting. I am still trying to understand if that 15 months is the time before we should expect the NOA2 or the time we should anticipate before the interview? 

NOA2 unfortunately...

On some other sites, people are claiming to receive NOA2 in 6-8 months.  I'll believe it when I see it here.
