Hi everyone! I'm new here. Just wanted to say hello and see if anyone that filed their i-129f's in September has received an NOA2 yet?

I've been reading so much on this site for the past few months. Is their anything my fiance and I can do while we're waiting for our NOA2 so we can speed up the process? Anything we can start filling out or gathering?

Thank you so much for your help!

I wish everyone luck on their journey!

Danielle

Thank you so much! I feel like all I do is read every thread to make sure I haven't done anything wrong. Crossing my fingers for my NOA2 sometime in December!

What makes you think you will get NOA2 in December? There are Aussies here that filed in June and still have not got NOA2. Nearly 5 months and they still have not heard anything so don't think you will be approved in 3 months flat as it seems that is not happening right now and we are coming into holiday season so it will slow down considerably. There is nothing you can do to speed this process up you just have to wait like everyone else does. If you are the Aussie beneficiary you can start by reading up on Sydney consulate and familiarise yourself what you will need when you do get approved.

Like 156 156k birth cert, police report medicals all that. You need to read up on that and then after Xmas you can maybe schedule your medical and go and get your police report done.

Divorced !st November 2012.

Married only 2 years 1 month

I am not expecting to or saying I'm going to. I'm just hoping for it. I completely understand the whole process, I'm not assuming anything. I'm sorry if this is out of line but I felt like your response came off a little rude.

I am a US citizen and my fiance is from Australia. Was just looking for some advice on gathering the next round of information so once I do receive my NOA2, I can send everything off right away.

Don't worry Danielle, your hopes and comments are fine...of course you can hope for a response pre Christmas, I'm hoping for the same. BarbaraJ is a little out of sorts...some of her other responses have had a similar tone, so don't let it bother you. Enjoy looking around, there are lots of lovely people on here with good advice in many places... :yes:

Don't expect a lot of speed between now and the beginning of the year. With the holidays fast approaching I would bet on longer times between NOA-1 and NOA-2.

September filers will most likely begin to see approvals sometime in mid-January or there about.

Good luck to you on your journey.

Thank you very much! Hopefully the service center's won't slow down too much over Christmas.

Hello! Nice to meet another Aussie-American couple. Good luck!

Good luck with that plan... :unsure:

I am hoping for end of January beginning of February and I am a September filer. Then with luck have the visa approved by March/April ... depending.
