Seems faster than I thought (filed on 4/22 iirc).

Good news I think that they're not asking for RFE.

And finally, if my fiancee moved recently, and has a new address - I am assuming that I need to file that somewhere (so she can get the info delivered)

Thanks in advance! Very excited this is somewhat painless (so far :crossesfingers:)

It may or may not be your "NOA2" but it is your approval notice. (Congrats!)

(Really, we should stop using terms like "NOA1" and "NOA2". The first notice usually received is simply a receipt for your application and the application fee and the second notice is usually either an RFE or an approval notice. NOA1, 2, etc. are not terms used by the USCIS).

bumping this for the change of address abroad question.

anyone?

First off, congratulations on the approval of your petition! If you have not already received your NOA2 in the mail, it should be arriving very soon!

At this point in time, USCIS considers your case "closed." They've done their part and your packet is on it's way to the NVC which will quickly forward it to the Columbian Embassy. I'm not really sure how to apply for a change of address abroad for your fiance. If you attempt to contact USCIS at this point, they won't know who you are.

my thoughts to you would be to email the Columbian Embassy with your question. The I-129F process is generally the longest. At this point things are going to be moving VERY quickly! I'm telling you to contact the Embassy in Columbia because this is where you are going to discover that every Embassy does things their own way. Some Embassies do it "this way" while others do things "that way."

From the very beginning of this entire process, Lizeth hasn't received a single piece of information from ANYBODY, and her interview is coming up in a couple of weeks at the Bolivian Embassy. Every single notice, letter, email, etc., has always come to me either through USPS or email. But that may not be the case in Columbia.

If you've not already done so, you can find contact information by clicking through the "Embassy Info" tab at the top of the VJ screen.

My Next Advice For You

Because the pace is going to start picking up soon, you and your fiancee would do well to start getting things prepared for the next step. Againk if you've not already done so, visit the official Columbian Embassy's website. Research as much information as you possibly can about how their process works, what documents and forms are needed, etc. I tried to get a jump start on preparing for Lizeth's interview, but things are moving so quickly for us, that I wish there were 30 hours in a day!

Congratulations again! Good luck on your Visa Journey!

Hey Eric.

Thanks for the info and advise. And best wishes for your interview on the 15th. You must be both excited and terrified @ the same time. Please do let me know how it goes.

And anyone dealing w/ the embassy in Colombia (Bogota) know how to inform them about a change of address (for her)?

Not sure why someone quoted your posts (avove) w/ no comment.
