US Immigration from Liberia

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.

Stay patient because this is a long process currently running 9-12 months for your NOA2 or petition approval by USCIS (first stage). Then your petition will be sent to NVC (second stage) and finally your interview at the embassy (third stage). Also, do not compare yourself to others who filed....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!

Please create your timeline. Also note that USCIS goes by "Received date" not NOA-1:

Example

I-129 F Sent - January 31, 2021

I-129 F Received - February 4, 2022 (NOA-1)

I-129 F - Notice Date - February 7, 2022

In this example your NOA-1 should be February 4. This will help you fill out your timeline properly.

I need help please. Form i130 was file in July. I did not get a notice except a case number. I did inquiry as to where my case was process, I was told to use Texas processing time. I call in to USCIS and spoke with a representative, I was told my case is process in Texas. Surprisingly I got the I797C in the mail this December it came from Nebraska. With two different information how can i actually know where my case is process? Is there a way I can know by looking at my account online?
