Hello...Welcome!

 

For those who have just filed your I-129f application with USCIS, this thread has been created for your needs and for you to be with others experiencing different aspects of this journey. This is a place to ask questions and to share experiences. All are here to learn together.

 


Use the USCIS case tracker to follow your case online once you’ve received your case number:

 

➡️ https://egov.uscis.gov ⬅️

 

Stay patient because this is a long process currently running 7-9 months for your NOA2 (or petition approval by USCIS first stage). Then your petition will be sent to NVC which runs about another additional 8-10 weeks processing (second stage) and finally your interview at the embassy (third stage).  Also, do not compare yourself to others....Some will receive NOA-2 faster than others, some will be stuck at NVC for longer and then finally some will receive interviews fairly quickly at embassy. STAY PATIENT and don’t compare cases as each embassy/country is different! 

 

Please be sure to create the timeline in your profile. Also note that USCIS goes by "Received date" :

 

Example

I-129 F Sent - January 2, 2023

I-129 F Received - January 6, 2023 (NOA-1) 

I-129 F - Notice Date - January 10, 2023

 

In this example your NOA-1 should be January 6. This will help you fill out your timeline properly.
