Hey everyone,

I filed for the K1 visa and got 1NOA saying that it was received on Jan 14th and was sent to the California Service Center. I've signed up for email updates on the site and haven't gotten any "touches." Should I be worried about this? When I enter the site it says my case is still in initial review, which supposedly lasts about 5 months.

Thanks!

We had no "touches" until a few days before our NOA2. I think our case might still say "initial review" when looking it up on the USCIS website :rofl: and my husband has already received his Visa!

Needless to say...inconsistancies are high when it comes to them entering in "touches".
