I'm New

Hello, I've been lurking around for a while this post has given me and my fiance a lot of hope that are case won't take too long.

We were lucky enough to have filed with the VSC

Our I-129F arrived on Oct. 9 and I'm checking the status online constantly. It's been 16 days and so far nothing, I'm not complaingin because I'm ready to wait more but I'm just hoping to hear some hopeful comments here. Anyone with a similar filing date who has already received their NOA1, if I'm not mistaken that's what you receive when it is approved right? What happens then, is the interview scheduled?

Well I look forward to being a part of this forum, I wish all of you the best of luck, all of us here know how hard it is to be far away from the one we love.

Welcome to VJ

Check the Guides.

There is a K1 flowchart on that page that shows when things should happen and what to expect. The K-1 process is currently taking 6 months and up so..you have a ways to go yet

No, the interview is not given until after your NOA2.

Usually people get an NOA1 in approx 30 days..some less, some more.

Best of luck

Welcome.

We're at the molasses in January center (i.e., CSC). Two and a half months since NOA1 and its probably only halfway to NOA2. I'm turning into a workaholic trying to make the time pass until I can see Li again.

Best wishes to you.

Hello JKD88

Welcome!

Please ! timeline.gif

The NOA1 is only to let you know that they have received your petition. "Received and Pending"

It is NOT approved YET!

I got my NOA2, 155 days from the day that I sent my petition. So sit back and try to enjoy the ride.

As it seems to me now. We are about half way to interview when we receive our NOA2. If we are lucky!

Good luck to you...and welcome!!

If you fill in your timeline it will give you an estimate of your NOA2 date based on historic data.

Hi, thank you all for the welcome, I'm a little optimistic since some of the people here have been approved so quickly. Anyway, what is this timeline feature everyone keeps telling me about, what do I do?

Go to the Immigration Timelines at the top of the page. Look at the timeline functions, you can edit/add entries.

Oh ok, I'll have a look. I really look forward to talking to everyone here, and sharing our experiences.

I put my timeline so far in my signature if anyone is interested.

I'd love to hear other experiences in this hard proccess.

For other that have been through this process what was the average time that it took from the sending of the I-129F to the U.S. Entry?

I apologize if I'm asking too many questions it's just that, I don't know I'm desperate I guess, this whole thing is being really hard on me and my fiance.

Reading and studying the process in the guides and reading the daily threads and questions of others will help you immensely.

Please edit your profile to show country and visa type etc. Help us help you and help us help others buy keeping your timeline up to date. (not the one in your signature but that's good too)

See beside your name

<<<<<<<<<<over there? It says

"My Timeline" just click on that and start your time line.

It's super useful as it gives you an estimate of when you could be approved. No need to be sorry!!! This is what we are here for!!! We are all in the same boat.

Best of luck!!

Thanks, I want to fill it out but I'm having a bit of trouble you now, it doesn't say anything about an I-797C, bascially out of all the questions that are on there all I know is the date the VSC received the I-129F petition.

I'm a little lost when it comes to this stuff. All I know so far is what is in my signature, that it was received by the VSC on Oct. 9, 2007 and on Oct. 17, 2007 I received the I-797C, I'm not really sure what that is, I thought I was going to receive an NOA1, sooo confused.

I'm just trying to get an idea for when we'll be able to be together again you know, I do find it comforting to be around, even if it is virtually, people in the same boat as us.

By what I've read I think it's been going pretty fast right? Hopefully I'll receive the NOA2 soon, when I do what do I do next? How long after the NOA2 until we get to be together?
