Timeline

My I-130 went to CH and then VT and approved there in 34 days and is now at the NVC now. Although keep positive; Don't count your chickens before they are hatched. You still need NVC review, packets out to petitioner/beneficiary and then a bit other odd/ends. It is then off to the counsular embassy of their choice. I am uncertain if you married in USA. I know that helps alot! I also had everything document that was in I-130 in I-129F. There was actually nothing they needed to request more from us. Not sure if my response helped.

Hello,

Here is my timeline thus far

I am a US Citizen.

12/28/2008 - USCIS received I-130 (Spouse)Package.

01/05/2009 - NOA1 received

01/31/2009 - Email alert from USCIS that my I-130 application is approved and the approval notice was mailed 1/30/2009

I should receive the NOA2 in mail during the first week February 2009.

How can I get my NOA2 within 1 month NOA1? I was expecting atleast 6 month wait for NOA2.

Has the process become faster? Do you know of anyone that has had a similar experience?

I don't know what to think since NOA2 notice was so unexpected.

Congrats!! Perhaps Vermont takes the 500th petition and approves it quick to get it out of the office!! :lol:....

I'm not surprised though...I had noticed that a K-1 petition last August was approved in 3 weeks after the first NOA. Their whole process took 96 days from start to receiving the visa!! That would be a dream....

But, it's rather funny..I'm not ready yet either!! I have a house to do some minor repairs on, and hopefully get it up for sale in the spring. I won't put it up until I know my interview date first though.

Go out and celebrate!! :dance: :dance:
