Received Form I-797C

[Mrs. Dea 10]

Good Day:  

We received Form I-797 C on March 11. All our information on the form looks correct. What should we do next, or what are we awaiting next?  How long estimate again before we hear from them? The beneficiary is outside the US and we opted for consular processing. 

 

Thank you in advance.

The NOA1 for your I-130 I'm assuming is the March 11th date? Are you a US citizen? If so process will be 12-14 months.... if LPR, two years. It's a waiting game now until you hear approval for the I-130.

An I-797c is just a notice of action.  Is this a receipt notice or an approval notice?

Its says Type of Notice: Receipt. Just so I can update my timeline; Is this what is called NOA1?

Notice Of Action 1, is a receipt notice.  It's a six to ten month black hole.  You just wait.  While waiting, both of you should learn about the rest of the process by studying country specific guides, and form instructions.
