The NOA1 is the receipt that your I-129F packet was received by USCIS. NOA2 is the approval letter.

Which did you receive?

If it was the NOA1 then you probably have a couple months (if filing with CSC) before you receive your NOA2.

If you received the NOA2 then your case will soon be forwarded to the NVC then to the consulate.

If it said the approval notice has been sent(or something like that) then yes it is. You will be getting the paper copy in the snail mail in a few days, congrats!

Congratulations!

That is your NOA2 (now you can update your timeline if you haven't already).

Your NOA1 is the receipt that your case was received by USCIS and that is when your check is cashed.

If you don't have a passport you have to get it now. It is not much longer before you have to send copies of it to the consulate in your country.

Btw, your NOA2 is the date that USCIS sent you the e-mail of approval. Congrats again!!

Just an opinion to share... if you apply for a process to correct your last name in your birth certificate, it will take a long time. If I am not wrong, you have to look for a lawyer to do the process.

God bless!

that's correct...it will take about 6 months...and it will cost you about Php50,000 (according to a lawyer). i had the same problem with you goofy...BUT, i just followed what is written on my birth certificate. One of my letter in my lastname had actually typographical error...but i decided to use it as it is. So all of my important documents...from school to my NBI clearance to my voter's id to my Passport...I use what is on my birth certificate.

Good Luck on your journey goofy...God Bless.
