 Prana on 2021-05-10 said:Hello, just saw that we have similar timelines for our K-1 applications (my NoA1 is about a week after yours). Good luck and maybe we can keep in touch? 
 DRAS on 2021-05-10 said:Hi, yes, sure, their my estimate says October or so for approval NOA2, good luck to you too!
Hello, My name is Ozzy and my wife is an Indian citizen from Delhi. If it is possible, I was wondering if can share with us some of your experience with the K1 petition.
 DRAS on 2022-01-21 said:Hi we were approved K1 visa this morning at the Mumbai US consulate. Happy to share any specific questions you have. Good luck.
Congratulations!!!! I hope she can join you here very soon!!
Did you get a packet 4 instruction from Mumbai Embassy to go ahead and schedule interview? How much time did it take after the case was Ready at ceac website?
 
*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.
