Use dispatch groups.

dispatch_group_t group = dispatch_group_create();

MyCoreDataObject *coreDataObject;

dispatch_group_enter(group);
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation1 = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:request1];
[operation1 setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
    coreDataObject.attribute1 = responseObject;
    sleep(5);
    dispatch_group_leave(group);
}];
[operation1 start];

dispatch_group_enter(group);
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation2 = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:request1];
[operation2 setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
    coreDataObject.attribute2 = responseObject;
    sleep(10);
    dispatch_group_leave(group);
}];
[operation2 start];

dispatch_group_wait(group, DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER);
dispatch_release(group);

[context save:nil];
