Hi All,

I have a quick question from experienced people on this forum . My wife who is US citizen filed I-130 petition. She recenlty recieved I-797C from the USCIS. Could someone please tell me what will be the next step? Do I or my wife need to do anything now or we just have to wait ? Also I wanted to know which visa is quicker to process K-1 or CR1?

Thanks.

The I-797C is what we call the NOA1 (Notice of Action) on VJ. The case number on it will tell you which Service Center your petition has been sent to for processing. If it starts EAC then it has gone to Vermont (VSC), WAC is California (CSC). With that information you can edit your timeline and get an estimate of when you will receive approval (your NOA2). For now, you just have to wait.

Good luck.

It always says 5 months! That is their goal. From what I have read on here recently California seems to be a bit quicker than that at the moment and Vermont is slower. If you click on your timeline and edit that to show your NOA1 date and your Service Center it will give you an approximate date for your NOA2, based on the data entered by other VJ members.

You cannot file for a K1 because you are married; having filed the I-130 is the right thing.
