Received NOA2 but I have a question...

[Craig D 0]

Hi everyone. I received the Noa2 today. It says approved. However, within the document it says " The above petition has been approved, and forwarded to the listed consulate."

However, I don't see any consulate listed on the document.

Another question:

It has the "valid from" dates in the upper right: 08/13/2009 to 12/13/2009. Just to be sure, this is the date by which we must do the interview at the embassy, right?

Thanks for any help.

Oh, one more thing. In the timeline it says NVC Received and NVC left. What do those mean ?

I would contact the NVC and ask for the consulate information

Right

Thanks for any help.

You mean VJ members' timelines right? If so, it simply means the date USCIS forwarded to the NVC and the date the NVC forwarded to the consulate

The "listed consulate" is the consulate that you listed on question #20 of the I-129F. Of course, it goes there via the NVC.

The "valid from" dates reflect a validity period of four months starting at the date of NOA2. Consulates generally will revalidate the petition if you can't get everything ready and schedule an interview date within that four month period. Check with your fiancee's consulate for specifics, but no need to worry about this.

Congrats on the NOA2, you are probably looking at 3-4 weeks to get through NVC and then another 3-4 weeks from that for the interview date. Your fiance should get a package from the embassy in Lima that will have all of the instructions of what needs to be done as well as the interview date. Make sure you call and schedule the medical first and then get all of the necessary police certificates. Let us know if you have any questions and congrats again.
