Hello!

I am new here and I am excited to post my 1st question today.
Many people may have asked similar question but I've noticed some people get NOA1 in few days.
My fiance has sent I-129 package July 26th and yet we haven't been informed if USCIS received our package.:(
But I see from K1 visa timeline that some other people have sent NOA1 later than us already for NOA1.

Why is there a difference or are we forgotten? I hope not! ><
Also, I noticed some people NOA2 approval is just 2 weeks? few weeks from NOA1, how is that possible?
Does that depends on beneficiary country?
I hope mine is not lost somewhere.
I'm sorry I'm worried too much and I just want to say it out here. T_T

Did u send the G1145 to be notified by text or email? If not the hard copy through the mail takes longer. When I was waiting for my NOA1 I noticed the same thing you did. Some got their notification faster. Was your check cashed? Did you check the USPS or FedEx tracking?

Philippine citizens have priority because of the typhoon.

It all depends where your petition will be sent to after you receive your NOA1. If you get the Texas Service Center, it could take up to 5-6 months. California Service Center is much quicker... some people got their NOA2 in less than 1 month...

*** I am the beneficiary ***
