NOA1 or NOA2...

"On May 9, 2008, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice."

I mailed to Vermont and they entered it into the system March 15th. I haven't received what they mailed to me on May 9th yet. Anyway is this a good thing? I got a notice when they received my packet and now this. Does this mean everything is "slick"?

March 15th till May 9th, a month and 3 weeks approximately for approval, is that the norm to receive NOA2? In this process, was this a big accomplishment or just one of many more to come? What i'm trying to say is,... can i begin to relax a little?

thanks, bp

Once the new year hit, many people from Vermont got very fast approvals...but you are not in the norm. Usually NOA2 takes longer, mine took just about 3 months to be approved and that's fast...I feel lucky. Usually it's a 4 to 6 month wait.

Please click here for the K1 flowchart. It will tell you what is coming up next.

Your petition will be forwarded to NVC (National Visa Center) and then onto the Embassy in Russia where your fiance will have her interview.

Your fiance will then have to get a police report and her medical and then they issue her an interview date.

Click here for the Russian Embassy page, it talks about what the Embassy requires your fiance to bring to the interview, etc.

Yes, you can relax a little bit...NOA2 is probably the longest wait and yours went quite quickly....feel very lucky.

It took me awhile to get my butt in gear to put this packet together and also have the spare $455. that was required. Although after i got involved with it, i got carried away it. It was like the science project i never did when in school. I was very pleased with the outcome of this petition and hoped that the ones on the receiving end would see my efforts/creativity and possible not give me any grief. I guess it worked.

Thanks for the info.

I was very encouraged when I built my timeline last week and was given a June 4 estimation for NOA2.

Since then it has gone to June 5, then 6, now 10.

It's easy to start becoming obsessive over this.

Congratulations to everyone receiving NOA2s.
