I-797

[Dahlia 1]

I finally started gathering all the information I need to file for I-129F visa for my fiancee. I stumbled an information for I-797 curious what this information is for. Sorry to ask just so naive about all these paperwork. thanks any comments are appreciated.

Welcome!

The I-797C is a document sent from USCIS to indicate a Notice of Action (often called an NOA here). That notice of action could be an acknowledgement of receipt of your petition, a request for more evidence or information, a notice of intent to deny, an approval of a petition etc.

Typically a few days/weeks (hopefully) after you submit your petition, you will get your NOA1, which is the acknowlegement of receipt of your petition. If you are lucky, the next NOA will be your petition approval - typically running about 5 months after your NOA1

Good luck

Hopefully you'll have a speedy journey. If you complete your timeline here on VJ, it will generate an 'estimate' based on others of when you can expect your NOA. Don't put too much stock behind it though, no science behind it

Good luck
