I-797C

Hello..

Is the I-797C, Notice of Action the "NOA1?

Is there a problem if the form doesn't have a "Priority Date"?

Regards,

E

No. K-1 visas (among other types) do not have priority dates because there are no fixed limits for this kind of visa.

Isn't the priority date on the NOA2? Or at least, there's a date which is four months from the approval date...

I wish I had an NOA2 of my own so I could tell you for sure..ha! But even if there was a box for it on the NOA2, I imagine it would be blank since it doesn't apply to this kind of visa.

But either way, he was asking about the NOA1, which definitely does not have a priority date.

Yes there definitely is not one on the NOA1 but I am pretty confident that the date on the NOA2 is a priority date this is typically four months after your NOA2 but can be extended by the embassy by a year so doesn't really mean anything!

Isn't this just the expiration date? Isn't priority date something different?

Priority date on my NOA2 is empty, the expiration date is written in the same box as Notice type: Approval notice.

Same with us.

Ah my apologies! I must have got them confused

Priority date will be empty on both the notices for the I-129F petition. No priority date involved with getting a K-1 visa.

It will have a validity period on the approval notice, but even that date can be extended so it doesn't really matter much.

Not on NOA 1.

Ughh. We're coming up on the 6 month mark since, we received the NOA1.. I'm starting to get worried.

Nothing to worry about. The NOA1 is just a receipt notice. It doesn't expire. The approval notice(NOA2) will be valid for 4 months, but most consulates will automatically extend that validity date up to a year, so that is nothing to worry about either.
