We are new to visajourney ,and we need some help. My husband and I were married in april 2011. When I came back to the states from Morocco I started the paperwork to immigrate my husband to the US. I filled out the I-130 and mailed it and a money order in to the lockbox. We received our NOA1 in july for the I-130. We were routed to the california service center. We received the receipt numbers ,but when we log on to uscis.gov it's always on the initial review. How long before we will receive the NOA2 and what do we need to do next? Thank you for any help you can give us.

Make sure your trays and seat backs are in their up-right positions, its going to be a hell of a ride on USCIS Airways.

Always keep this in mind, every case is different then the one the A.O. just processed before yours. Some cases are clear cut, and some are not. Some need more time, some are a slam dunk....................

This is going to be one of the most important journeys of your married life................ its not a application to adopt a puppy............ and don't believe everything you hear in any immigration site..........

Best wishes on your journeys.

Welcome to VJ. I filed my I-130 just around the same time as you have. There have been some discussion on this board about how long USCIS/CSC is taking....they are kind of slow at this point. I called USCIS yesterday and was told that CSC is processing I-130's with a NOA1 as of March (I called USCIS after someone posted the same response to get confirmation). It doesn't make sense when you see other VJ'ers who have recently received their NOA2 in less than one month while others who are well on their way to NVC and others approved with their visa in hand. Your guess is just as good as mine. Other VJ'ers have said not to worry, it will get processed between 3-5 month....I really hope so, inchallah.

In the meantime, start preparing your documents that's required by NVC...this will help with forgetting about the time. :no:

Best wishes to you and hope for a speedy visa.

thank you everyone for all of your help!

Igor's List This link is a valuable tool. It'll give you some sort of idea how things are going. Most usually they process by NOA1 date but it does jump around some (maybe one person takes 5 and they are easy so they're posted/closed sooner and out of order). It looks like July NOA1 filers have some time to go yet, maybe a month to go for those who have early in the July Noa1's. Just an estimate but something to look at when you're waiting on the NOA2.

Working on your NVC stuff now is also very good advice. Hang in there folks.....it'll be a smooth ride if you study the guides, ask questions and double check and recheck your packets your sending in. Best of Luck!!!
