Yes it is

Is this NOA2? :clock:

The above statement doesn't make sense to me. The NOA2 is issued by the Service Center. NVC enters the picture AFTER your NOA2.

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.

Do you mean the NVC (national Visa Center) or the NSC (Nebraska Service Center)...

If you mean NVC then it looks like Nebraska took a while sending out the NOA2 which is indeed your approval. If you mean the NSC then someone seems to have lit a fire under some of the officers there because an approval in a week is pretty amazing !!

Did you ever receive an NOA1 from Nebraska and if so what was the date on that ??

oopps, not NVC, wrong place.....

yes yes, I meant Nebraska.

NSC received I-129F on 2/2/2006.

NOA1 2/6/2006.

It would appear that this is NOA2 and was dated 2/8/2006.

I'm waiting for the other shoe to fall on this one. Maybe they will require a criminal background check as the new law demands and this will take years????

2/1/2006 Mailed I-129F to NSC

2/2/2006 I-129F delivered to NSC

2/6/2006 NSC NOA1 - Received!

2/8/2006 NSC NOA2 - Approved!

2/10/2006 NSC mails K1 to NVC

2/20/2006 NVC received K1

2/27/2006 NVC Mail K1 to Kiev

LostInIllinois,

Actually, this is not NOA2. This is an e-mail telling you that you an NOA2 will soon be mailed to you.

NOA is I-797 or I-797C, headed Notice of Action - hence the acronym. It's a 'fancy' piece of paper, one that you will want to keep in a safe place (but not so safe that you forget where you put it), not an e-mail.

Not that I'm not happy for you, but it really makes me sick to see people going through Nebraska who are done in such a short time while others wait months and months for no good reason. This whole system stinks! FOUR DAYS!!!! Augh!!!!!
