Notice Date for K-1 Visa

[EdwigeH 0]

Hello all!

My fiancé (U.S Citizen) and i (French) have sent the K1 Visa papers on March 2013 and the USCIS have received them on March 8, 2013.

We received our first NOA on March 13, 2013.

Also, the USCIS informed us (when we checked our status) that we had to wait for my Alien Fiancé Number, that it had been changed.

This is the message which was written: "On March 15, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)."

My fiancé wrote them and they sent us my number, with the Notice Date: May 31, 2013.

We're wondering if our case is taken into account from May 31, 2013 (Notice Date) or from March 8, 2013 (Received Date).

I thank you in advance for your replies!

Yours,

Edwige

The alien registration number gets allocated at some point during the period between NOA1 and NOA2. It's not hugely significant - just means the non-USC now has a number they can hang stuff off. When we applied in January the registration number change was very quick - others have had it at different times.

I'm not sure it's of any specific importance during the the K1 process (to us). The number we really wait for is the case number which you will get once the NOA2 is issued and your package heads off to the NVC.

The important date is the NOA1 and yours would appear to be March 13th . If at any point anyone suggests otherwise you can wave the original NOA1 notice under their nose.
