K3 Newbie

[dnf 0]

Hi guys,

I'm really new to VisaJourney and could really use a lot of help.

I have a few questions for a start:

1) What does NOA2 means? I received 2 NOAs (1 for I130 and 1 for K3)... How long usually does it take to receive the NOA2? What does it mean when you received NOA2?

2) I've been reading through the forum about 'touched'. What does it mean? And ho do you guys know your application has been 'touched'

3) My husband and I filed our petition in October 08, is there anybody else who filed during the same time? Any updates on your application?

I appreciate any feedback and even recommendations.

Thanks!

1 - NOA2 is basically what you want the most, it's the final answer saying your process has been approved, you receive one NOA2 for each one of the forms, read more here:

http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NOA2

See my timeline below to see how long it took from my NOA1 to my NOA2.

3 - You have to go search in the forum for it, probably there are people who are in the same situation but you will have to go look for it. Also, you should check the Timelines link, and look for your kind of visa, there are tons of people there. Also check out my timeline, cause also have a K3 process going on.

Hope it helps, good luck.

Actually, I think what most people want the most is the visa. NOA2 is usually an approval and sometimes not but it is only the approval of the petition, not the approval of the visa.

The Guides will explain all this.

Well, I disagree a little bit. Of course in the long run the visa is what we want the most, but in each part this process there is something we really wait for. 1 month ago getting the NOA2 it was a victory for me , now my another victory will be NVC having my case completed. Later it will be the interview, and then finally the visa.

If it wasn't a big deal there wouldn't be so many people here posting threads like "Approved!!!!" and being so happy about a simple NOA2.

Hi guys,

Just a quick question. How do you apply to expedite the reviewing process? I see on a lot of timelines that include sending request to expedite (and so on). What would qualify me to expedite and how do I do it?

From the processing time, we should have heard something from them for the I130 (April 4) and the I129f will be on April 27... Can I bug them on the I-129f already?

Thanks!!
