Jason And May on 2023-04-24 said:Hi Tim,
No, not yet. USCIS and VJ seem to match on estimates. We hope to get our NOA 2 sometime between July and September.
It’s been a bit of a wait, but we expected it. And we’re fortunate enough that I have been able to go see her every 6 or 7 months.
Hopefully, our NOA 2 will come thru and the process will really start rolling then. But we’ll see. We’re prepared for a very long wait. There’s really nothing we can do but just wait it out.
Best,
Jason
Timmy Clark on 2023-04-24 said:We filled in December 2022 and knew it would be a waiting game I'm also lucky enough to be able to visit every few months
I'm actually in Cebu right now
Thanks for the fast response
Timmy Clark on 2023-04-25 said:What part of USA are you from
Jason And May on 2023-04-28 said:Hi, Tim. Sorry it took me quite a while to respond. My work schedule is crazy sometimes.
I'm from Wisconsin. Unfortunately, we use the Nebraska Service Center. There are other couples I know whose NOA 1 are around the same time as ours, and their wives have already received their NOA 2 welcome email.
Our USCIS estimate is currently another six months; it varies, though. Sometimes estimates 4 months, sometimes 8. Currently 6. VJ estimate is 3-4.
The fee hike makes it all less easy to stomach, but it's life, and we're living it. :)
Best,
Jason

I'm thinking of filing a k3 to speed it up hopefully
Jason And May on 2023-05-03 said:I filed the K3. I got the notice of receipt a couple of days later. It appears dead on arrival. I added it to our online account, and it shows only the receipt. Nothing further. I assume it will just sit until the 130 is approved, and then they'll close that case and continue with the 130, leaving my wife in the Philippines until her visa is fully issued.
In 2020, USICS processed over 55,000 130s and 2 K3s. I don't know about 2021 and 2022, but the 2020 numbers seem to speak volumes. I believe prior years and current years are relatively similar.
They've been processed stupefyingly slow.... I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but it does seem odd, given the entire idea behind the K series visas to begin with.
I wouldn't suggest not filing it, though. It doesn't hurt anything. Worse case it just sits. Best case, you become one of the lucky ones. :)
Timmy Clark on 2023-05-03 said:My attorney said if we file one hopefully they would look at our case
But I'm not counting on anything
Jason And May on 2023-06-01 said:My processing time changed from 3 months to 5. Stayed at 5 for about a month, now has the infamous, "Your case is taking longer than expected to process. You do not need to take any action at this time."
I'll wait until August and then begin to inquire. August will be 12 months.
Timmy Clark on 2023-11-16 said:We finally got our noa 2 ,have you guys got any good news?
Jason And May on 2023-11-16 said:We’re DQ now since 08/24, waiting on USEM for an interview.
Timmy Clark on 2023-11-16 said:Manila is taking a long time any idea when you might get an interview did you guys try to expedite
Jason And May on 2023-11-16 said:I have no idea. If there is no interview by August of 2024, I will inquire through my congressperson and file a complaint. That will be 1 year from DQ.
We did attempt an expedite after my wife was the victim of a crime. USEM denied and said to wait her turn for interview.
Timmy Clark on 2023-12-11 said:That's messed up hopefully they will do a mass expedite again this year and you will be part of it
Timmy Clark on 2023-12-27 said:We were dq Dec 1st so I figure we have months to wait I seen an interview from the usem on YouTube and the man said cr1 or family unification as he called it could be a 6 to 9 month wait
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
