I see that you received an RFE. May I ask what they requested?

I just want to know what is NOA1 and NOA2. I would like a clear explanation

NOA = Notice of Action

NOA1

After submitting your I-129F application to the Dallas lockbox it is received at the Lewisberg, TX office. They open it and make sure the forms are filled out properly and send it on to either the California Service Center or the Vermont Service Center. They also send you a form I-797. This form officially recognizes that the USCIS has received and is processing your application. It also contains your receipt number and instructions for checking the status of your case online. This is NOA1.

NOA2

After the petition is approved by USCIS it is forwarded on to the National Visa Center (DOS). In addition, the USCIS will send you another form I-797 informing you that the petition has been approved. This is NOA2.

Hi Visajourney

I'm helping a co-worker with his I-129f paperwork. I have done this before for myself but I'm no expert on this. I have 2 questions for the I-129f, the first one being #3 for the petitioner. He was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. Should he put only Mexico or Jalisco, Mexico for state and country. Also on I-129f question 20. His fiance is from Guadalajara, will she go to the consulate there for the interview or another city? On the the G-325a, he was born in Mexico but has been living here for over 20 years. Does he have to put his last address in Mexico which over 20 years (I thought they were only interested in the last 5 years) so he would leave that blank? Thank you for any assistance you can give me/him.

1. Just Mexico should be sufficient. Or if not comfortable with that, print it by hand with black ink (any answers may be handwritten)

2. All K-1 visas for Mexican nationals are processed through the Ciudad Juarez embassy.

3. The form asks for his last address outside the U.S. for a period of more than 1 year. It doesn't specify when. Be safe and plug it in.

.....4. Note my born on date.... I'm certainly not the end-all be-all, here...

e-mails are not proof of anything that the uscis is looking for

Technically, as I understand it, the USCIS isn't looking for proof of relationship at all, just proof of meeting in the last 2 years. I assumed he was refering to what the consulate would need to verify a bona fide relationship. That being said, emails can be easily faked and probably not very strong evidence.

Phone bills, emails, etc... are only examples of what you can submit. If the two of you are living together, I'm sure there must be a lot of better evidence you can submit. Bills in both of your names at the same address, and a boatload of pictures together just to name a couple.

Shouldn't be a problem. On the USCIS website it says "Previous versions accepted."

Scared me for a sec, though... I just filled out mine on Monday.
