NOA1 now the process begins!!! :)

I received the NOA1 today on the mail! super exited we are one step closer. I know it is still early and we have a long wait, but I know everything will turn out! By the way I have a question the tittle is the receipt but it does not include a case number only a receipt number. Should I be getting another letter any time soon or is the next letter until the case is approved?

Thats it. Your receipt number is what you can check the status of your case.

You will use the receipt number to check your status on USCIS website. Good luck on the journey

and remember that the USCIS NEVER UPDATES THERE WEB-SITE.... and even if you call they will tell you what the web-site says.... buttttt if you have a lawyer (thats what we had) your lawyer should get the great news of approval and let you know.... my finace had his interview in september and the USCIS web-site still says our case is still in initial review... even though he is approved to come here... so dont loose hope if the web page never changes... Right when we thought all hope was lost we got out approval letter... so hang in there it will happen and this stage is the longest one...

we got approved and then 2 days later some how got an interview letter that said he had an interview in 13 days.... so it will go fast for you guys... GOOD LUCK GUYS =)

Ok the NOA2 will that send that to the beneficiary as well? I'm planning on traveling to Mexico in April and staying until further notice. We need NOA2 at time of interview should I contact USCIS or does the petitioner receive the NOA2 as well?

Your receipt number is what you will refer to until your case reaches the NVC. Only the petitioner receives NOA2. There is no case number on NOA2. NVC will assign a case number when they receive the approved petition. Your approval should come 5-6 months average. After the petition is approved, sent to NVC, and case number assigned, the NVC will forward your petition to the listed consulate and send a letter to the petitioner. The letter will simply state your case was forwarded, your case number, and the address of consulate. You can get your case number early by calling NVC about a week after you receive your NOA2. You will need your case number for your fee payment, scheduling, and interview.
