There are still a lot of December and January filers that are waiting...6 months for us today...hoping for some changes at TSC.

Hi I see you are from Azerbayjan I will apply in Embassy in Kazakhstan We are close countries :-) How do you think is the country plays some role? I mean if I were from Canada or Europe may be I would get faster NOA2? What do you think?

No, they're still working on December/January filers..

It`s really very slow :-(

Ugh....I'm waiting to see some February filers at TSC start getting some NOA2s just to feel like progress is being made. For us early May filers we are on the way to the 3 month mark. I'm so ready for this waiting game to be over.

Are the February fillers still didn`t get their NOA2?

Yea I will give it a read. Send us the link and I will let you know what we think!

Here is the link and we got "I-797C Form" As I understood "I-797C Form" is NOA1 Am I right?

I want to create my timeline But it says I have to register again So don`t know how to do it :-(

Yes and No. They are both a notice of action(NOA). What you received was the receipt from filing. It should have listed your receipt number, stated that you paid the $340 and listed the service center that your petition is now being processed at. Once your petition is approved, you will receive another notice. It will state that your I-129F petition has been approved. The receipt of filing notice is known around here as the NOA1, and the approval notice is known as the NOA2.

As you can see on this site, there are different notice of actions that you can receive > http://www.uscis.gov/i-797-info

Here is more detailed info on the I-797C > http://www.uscis.gov/forms/form-i-797c-notice-action

Thank you

I was scared But now I think we are OK thank you for explaining everything :-)

I think what they meant is not every Phili gets approves fast You may get RFE before you get your NOA-2, but you'll have it... eventually. Just be ready to wait over 6 months, the way it looks like now.

It`s so bad waiting Especially I don`t have patience But have to wait :-(

NOA2 is I-797, with notice type of: Approval Notice.

As its notice type says, this notice is to notify the applicant that the I-129f petition is approved.

Sorry I am new in all that process Is "I-797C" what we got is the same as "I-797"?

Thank you so much!!!!

We received our noa 1 last May 30. And we are still waiting for noa 2 approval.

I am from the Philippines too. Not all are getting approved here.

Do you mean may be somebody get rejected after 5 month of waiting so long?

Not everybody get NOA2? Am I right? :-( :-( :-(

I am new in all that process

What sweetcakes said is right. Just make sure you prepare your NOA2 paperwork so you can be ready when you get it.

I just replied to sweet cakes about "I-797 Forms" Could you please read it? May be you also have some idea about it?

I saw you are on your interview

I wish you good luck :-)

That's right. The first notice you received from uscis is what is normally called here in VJ as NOA1. K1 flowchart here: http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1flow

- NOA1 is Step #3.

For TSC, current wait time to NOA2 is about 5-8 months. You can probably check out and join your fellow May 2014 K1 filers - TSC in this thread for updates: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/497747-may-2014-filers-texas-service-center/

Thank you

I just have read also about I-797 forms Here is a link

http://www.uscis.gov/i-797-info

It says that I-797C is for "Issued to communicate receipt of payments, rejection of applications, transfer of files, fingerprint biometric, interview and re-scheduled appointments, and re-open cases." so is it NOA1? Is it normal that we received "I-797C Form"?

What is it NOA2? Is it I-797 form (without "C")?

Thank you one more time for your help

Look around this part of the site...yeah, Texas has a huge backlog. Cali is pumping them out like there's no tomorrow. I'm an April filer. We are all hoping that things speed up. Good luck to you:)

Thank you

I hope it will move fast But in reality its not :-(

Hi :-) I just registered on this website and following this topic

We applied in May too

We also sent TSC, Dallas branch. I have read couple posts here And so is it true that who are in TSC have to wait longer than others? :-(

hi :-)

I have some questions I just registered on this website

May be someone on this website has more experience

We applied for fiance visa Our paperwork was received by Dallas service Center at 22 May and receipt notice date was May 27 Form I-797C. The receipt date of Form I-797C is NOA1?

And if we sent in May how long it will take to process in Texas Service Center? Is it most times 5 months?

Thanks for everybody for advice and any comment.
