It took ONE DAY for me to get my NOA1. :dance:

HOLY #######! Is this a good sign? Does this mean anything????? Has anyone gotten one for a Vietnam k1 this fast???

They received the petition on Sept 30th, sent out the notice on October 1!!!!! I am still reeling. Please God let this be a good omen of some kind for me and Phuong!! We are so excited right now. Now I don't regret the ONE HUNDRED PAGES of proof of relationship I sent in to the USCIS at all! :D

Congratulations. It takes a maximum of 2 weeks for the NOA1 to arrive in the mail. Looks like yours didn't have a problem. Keep your fingers crossed to get thru the NOA2 fast... I will pray for that too. Take care!

Jonas,

First of all, congratulations. I'm glad you finally quit worrying about minutia and filed. Second, you need to calm down. Yes, it would seem rather unusual that you got received in one day, but you are only received. It really means nothing. You will get through USCIS. That's the easy part. I told you not to worry. I hope you get your NOA2 a lot faster than we got ours. But still, the hard part is once it leaves the USA and it is up to the people in Saigon.

I don't want to take away from your elation. That is awesome. The Vietnamese believe in fate a lot. I do not. I believe in being prepared and rolling with the punches. Two Weltanschauungen (did I get my German plural right?), one goal, one love.

I know it means nothing, it was just neat to get something that quick. How long did it take you to get your NOA1? What about the NOA2, when should I expect that?

Thanks for all your help again J ....

I believe our NOA1 took about a week. You don't want to know how long our NOA2 took.

Of course, we filed right after they raised the filing fees substantially, so that screwed everything up.

Congrats! I hope that the NOA2 is speedy as well! :)

Not to be a downer, but the NOA1 is essentially just a receipt of the packet. (ie, the 100 pages of evidence probably did not speed up the NOA1) However, this evidence will be useful when it comes to the interview! So that's a good thing! :)

I'm hoping everything goes smoothly for you!

You asked about your NOA2 and when to expect it well thats a bit of a crapshoot but I would say on the best case scenario is about four months. There is a very good chance it could take six or seven months though. Best of luck to you, hope it all works out in timely manner. As for us this is how it worked out:

I-130 was approved in 131 days from our filing date.

Interview took 319 days from our I-130 filing date.
