Does anyone know how long the fiancee has to enter the US once the visa is finally approved? I remember reading something on this site but can't seem to find it. I think I read a recommendation of about 6mo, but not completely sure.

First of all CONGRATULATIONS on your NOA2!!! What a fantastic news!!! Let's hope it we all get it this fast :).

You are right, your fiancée has 6 months to "activate" (so to speak) the visa, meaning he needs to enter the US within the 6 months of its issuance date.

And once again, congrats. :thumbs:

Thats incredible, congratulations to you both!!!! Wow, I wonder how that happened?!! I think you must have just been incredibly lucky, they are still processing most NOA2's from 3-4 months back, you lucky thing!!!

Keep us updated with your progress, not long for you now until you're reunited!!!

:dance:

WoW! Thats amazing!

Congratulations on receiving your NOA2 so quickly. :thumbs:

:ot:

The NOA2 approval process in my opinion is completely chaotic.

I would love to take a tour to see how this process is really done! I would even pay for the tour!

If I lived in California, I would probably even apply for a job there, just to get an inside understanding!

You would think with the advancement of technology that there could be a simple, effective, and stream lined way to process these visa applications.

The company I work for manages the largest DB2 multi platform database in the world and if it took us this long to process our business partners requests, then we would be out of business.

The cross platfom infrastructures they have in place to communicate with the other government agencies must be out of date and poorly managed.

:ot2:

Once again Congratulations and I wish you continued success on your Visa Journey.

We didnt know much about the whole process...a friend of ours went through the same lawyer and got approved after 112 days from filing the petition! So we decided to try our luck and pretty much jumped onto it straight away...after reading all the great reviews about them :rolleyes: then when things started to become so difficult I THEN found VJ..we asked for a refund but the contract stated that they couldnt refund however, we could use the money we paid as a credit towards a K3 visa or whatever....so now we're just waiting on them and will be following them up tomorrow :bonk:
