We filed our k-1 petition back in January. Our NOA1 Notice Date is Jan 30, 2007.

Even though I signed up for the CRIS updates, we never have recieved one and didn't here anything until the end of May when NVC sent us a letter in Mexico that the petition was approved. We still haven't recieved a packet, although via email the consulate in Juarez said they sent it at the end of May.

I NEVER RECIEVED A NOA2. I called the USCIS today about that and the lady said they don't send out an NOA2. Is that true? On this site people are always talking about them and in the guides it says to brig it to the interview.

Also she told me we weren't approved until June 27, when NVC contacted us saying we were approved back in May, and Juarez says they sent our packet in May.

Should I be worried?
What's going on here? I've read all the guides and have searched the NVC, Juarez and USCIS sites. Also the lady told me today it wasn't true we had to be interviewed within 4 mos of the approved petition.

If you help me understand this...
Thanks

Did you ask what address they sent it to? Maybe they have input the wrong address. I would call them back and ask about that. I know you can get the interview forms from the Juarez site and I have heard that you can get your appointment letter at the Consulate. I don't know if that is true though. You will eventually need a hardcopy of your NOA2 so you definately need to call them back and have them send you another one. The only thing that I can think of is that they have the wrong address. Good luck!

There have been problems with NOA2s lately - the person who said they dont' send them was wrong and you will need for AOS in the US down the road.

Simply send another email to CDJ to inquire whether or not the packet has been sent, and if so when and to what addresses. Normally they respond in a few days and normally it takes 3-4 weeks for the packets to be sent.

The petition is valid for 4 months and you do need to be interviewed by that time unless the consulate is the cause of the delay - in which case they will extend it. At CDJ this shouldn't happen since you don't need any interview date to be assigned.

Do the NOA2's come from USCIS, the NVC, or Juarez? Will it look like the NOA1 (same form different info?)

Thanks for your help!

It will come from USCIS and yes, it looks just like the NOA1 only it will say approval notice instead of receipt notice.

THANK YOU!!
