I'm New

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?

Hi

The process is taking in excess of 6 months...you have a ways to wait yet. Fast is not in the immigration vocabulary!

Where is your fiancee from??? You can always go visit.... I'm assuming you are a guy right?

Did you look at the links I sent you????

You can also check the Immigration Timeline and check out your fiance's country and other couples from that area and what their time line is like....

Really, if you fill out your profile, where your fiancee is from, what you have filed for, it will help us help you!

Oh and what does TOUCH mean?

Oh and what does TOUCH mean?

Almost nothing. It means someone working at the USCIS did something with your file. That could mean they were working on it and put it away while they went to lunch, or they handed it to another desk, or any of a number of things. Some people get excited when they see a "touch" but it rarely means anything signifigant. Once the USCIS gives you a case number you'll be able to obsess over touches at the USCIS website.

I wish I could go visit her but money is just really tight right now

I'm praying for a miracle, for it not to take all of 6 months

Oh that would be nice to obsess over lol, I have a case number but so far no touches

The great thing about touches is that you can obsess about them when you get them, and when you don't get them. They are truly the neurotics best friend!

hehehehe yeah you're right about that

I do have another question, what is RFE?

[~Laura and Nick~ 5]

Check out the Abbreviations page here at VJ.

RFE = Request for Evidence

It's when the USCIS needs more evidence of a bona fide relationship, more info that you may have missed, etc. etc.

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.

The I-797 you received is your NOA1. You'll get a similar I-797 as well saying "notice of approval" which is also known as the NOA2.

Count on at least 120 days from NOA1 to NOA2. Then there's NVC and the Consulate stages of the process to get through. Be happy if she's here 9 months after you file the petition.

I was wondering, do you receive more information if you sign up for an account on the USCIS website to receive automatic e-mails, or is it the same thing as just going to the site to check it.
