Now, I'm confused. Do you guys have A# for the beneficiary on your NOA2??? Because I don't have that above my wife's name. My name has it ofcourse.

It could be a new thing. My wife's I-130 approval did not have any A number in it. So we wrote "NONE" where the forms were asking for her A number.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview

I was approved in January and my NOA2 had an A number. I also wrote that A# in my DS-230 but I doubt anyone would get an RFE if they write "none" or N/A" on this one.
