We filed over a year ago and are still waiting for NOA2.


CR1 visas take longer... she was asking about a K1

You're looking about a 4-5 month wait. It's pretty consistent, but no an exact science.

^^ I'm the same - I will most likely stay at my job until March/April so I'm in no rush to move. So I'm not even worrying really about the NOA2. I mean it would be nice to have, but its not a have to have for us. We're pretty lucky though, we visit eachother at least every 4-5 weeks.

Lately I've just been enjoying Toronto, seeing my friends and family a lot and just working hard to save save save for the big move.

It will come soon enough for all of us!!

I am just sitting here waiting patiently.

We're actually going on vacation to Disney World September 13th, so I'm actually more excited about that, and hardly thinking about the NOA2.

It will come soon enough! I feel like the last couple of months have already gone by really fast.

Stay positive everyone!

Seems to the pattern on some of them, they get touched 2 days in a row and then nothing again until approval.

I'm hoping for September too.

I send back my Packet 3 checklist last night... and now we wait... should be another 2-3 months until we get an interview. I'm hoping for a late February interview but it could even be March or April... we shall see!


Keep posting your progress. good.gif

We are going through Montreal also, though it will be a little bit--she's got a few police clearances to get from Hong Kong, etc.--but it will be helpful to see how long it takes for you to get interview after they get your packet 3. I was thinking more like a month, not 2-3, but...whatever LoL Getting numb to the waiting at this point. blink.gif


Well Packet 3 says 4-6 months for an interview, but the average for others going through Montreal is 2-3 months wait. There are many people who send back their packet 3 at the end of September still waiting for an interview right now. Montreal is pretty slow.

Panterchen - I know it seems like you've been waiting so long, longer than others but there are lots of people who waited over 150 days, and you are very close to that mark, but not quite there yet. You will probably see an approval any day now! Hang in there... the last couple of weeks are horrile, but it's bound to happen.

Just checking in to say hello. I wouldn't worry too much you guys, we waited 142 days so your time is very soon!

I called the NVC and they received our petition and said it was forwarded to the Consulate and gave me our new receipt number. I forgot to ask what day it left, but it's gone and probably arrived.

Now we wait for packet 3!

Can't wait to get it, so I can send it right back!

Has anyone noticed how a lot of us with our last tough on July 9th have not heard anything yet.... I wonder if there is a connection...

I've actually lost all hope that we'll be approved this week. I have a feeling that we will be one of the last June filers. I'm not letting myself check the USCIS site at all this week.

It looks to me like there is a bunch of us around the same block of time who are still waiting with people just before us and just after us who have been approved. I have a hunch we'll all get ours around the same time.

I'm getting a bit impatient, but I guess I shouldn't since there's really nothing I can do.

I'm still within my time frame, I just totally didn't think that it would take this long!

^^ Yayay! Congrats! That is great to see! I love when Vermont seems to be moving!

Also, on the plus side, they updated the processing times to "6 months" which means that we've already been waiting 4 months... so the worst that can happen is that we wait another month or 2.

You're right, there are still a lot of June NOA1s waiting so we shouldn't worry yet!

Our last touch is also July 9th. There are still some people from the end of May getting their NOA2s, so I bet we're just behind those guys....

i dont know if anyone is interested in this or not but I was looking over igors list for vermont and noticed that before July 1 on the k1 filers people were getting the Noa1 around 5 to 9 days average. Starting July 1 Noa1 starting going out around 15 days for the lucky ones and most were between 20 to 30 days from when packet was recieved. Then around Aug 1 the Noa1 times started going down again to 10 days or less on average.

IM guessing something was going on in July at Vermont, I dont know if it was a audit or inventory or mass vacations, but the Noa1 times do indicate something was going on in July. Not sure how that effects us other than IM guessing that if they were Slow sending out Noa1's during that time everything else was slowed down. The fact that times sped up again starting in Aug I hope means good news and that they are working faster again.

What does this all mean? well means I have too much time on my hands to be studing Noa 1 dates is the only thing I can say for sure at this point. Good luck everyone.


I agree with your theory. I think there was definitely something going on in July/August and they are just starting to catch up.

I would not mind a couple of weeks difference but someone who filed in September went from NOA1 to 2 in 10 days

I am pleased for them dont get me wrong but it does make you wonder when I have been waiting since June and I am not the only one

Hope lots of us get our NOA2's this week

Good luck to all of us

I think those were a fluke. Then on the opposite end there are those that take much much longer, which also really sucks. So you really have to eliminate the top and bottom and focus more on the middle of the pack to get a better idea of how it works.

I'm hoping for something this week, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm thinking mid-October.

Do they generally take the cases in order they were received? The reason I ask is that several case numbers that proceed mine (NOA1 sent June 13) seem to have been approved. I'm getting nervous!


Yes they do BUT and this is a big BUT, they tend to go a bit out of order because they are all put into bins/boxes and then assigned to different adjudicators. So, some adjudicators are faster than others and finish their boxes faster or sometimes our sometimes some files just take longer (more name searches etc.) so if you happen to be behind a slow file in a bin, then you slow down a bit as well.

For the most part everything kind of evens out eventually... but there is often a difference of a couple weeks foor NOA2s for similar NOA1 dates.

Hopefully that makes sense.
