My NOA2 that I received in the mail..

[MouadsWife 161]

Today I received my Noa2 in the mail. It states valid from 09/10-2009 to 01/10/2010. So imagine his interview date of course will be before that expiration date. There are no directions to be follows per say in this Noa2. Here'e what it says:

The above petition has been approved, and forwarded to the listed cosulate. Please contact the consulate with any questions about this visa issuance, or if you would now like them to forward the petition to a different consulate. The peitioner can also file Form I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition with this office to request that we notify another consulate of the petition approval for the visa processing purposes. This form is not a valid visa and may bot be used in place of a visa.

When the person this petition is for enters the U.S. based on this visa, he or she will be admitted for ninety (90) days in order to marry the petitioner, and based on that marriage file for adjustment of status to permanent resident status on Form I-485. The form to apply for adjustment can be obtained at any local USCIS office or USCIS forms center. Please attach a copy of this notice to the adjustment application when you file it.

If the petitioner and the fiance do not marry within these 90 days, status will expire, and he or she will be in violation of the immigration and nationality act if he or she does not depart. An extension cannnot be granted. It is requested that the petitioner informs his or her local USCIS office if her or she dtermines that the marriage will not take place within the 90 day period. Please attach a copy of this notice to any correspondence about this case.

Ok... I had hopes the NOA2 would have more information. I called the service center today and they said any further questions on this case would have to be directed to the consulate that my fiance with be going through. That being Casablanca. How can I obtain contact information for the Casa consulate, does anyone have that available? Im 'thinking' he will receive his packet of information of forms to obatin will be coming to him in approx 3 weeks. So, I guess there is nothing to do now but wait wait wait wait and wait some more.... Thoughts? Anyone?

Congratulations

thats the standard verbiage for the NOA2.

and yes, unfortunately, it means more waiting. Casablanca will send out a packet to him when they receive the file and schedule his appointment.

just asking, what did you call the service center for? what further info are you looking for at this point?

you can find the email address for the Casa consulate online

Casa

sometimes they will provide the appointment time to you via email, but I would give them a couple of weeks to receive the file and get it into their system first

Well, when I first annouced a week ago that I got my approval via email, I received a response from someone saying, "Congratulations.... did u call them (Emabssy? NSC?)yet?" I replied back that I did not know why I would be calling and didnt know if she knew something that I didnt, but she never responded back. So I thought maybe if I called today, they could give me more info or possible a interview date. So thats why I called, to see from this point who I was supposed to be calling and when an appointment would be scheduled.

aah gotcha.

well, the file will pass through NVC on the way to the consulate. Occasionally a file will get held up there so after a couple of weeks you can call and get status - just to make sure its moved on. I think I waited until our NOA2 was like 3 weeks old and then called and was told it had been sent on like the day before.

As for the consulate, sometimes Casa is very responsive and polite and sometimes not. If it were me, I would wait a couple of weeks after you know the case has left NVC and then send them an email to make sure they have the case. WHen I did this 5 years ago they emailed me right back and gave me the interview date but I beleive they have gotten a lot busier since then and I am not sure if they still do that....

Well, prior to receiving you response I had just emailed them inquiring as to if my case has been received. So hopefully I will receive a response back, and hopefully I'll be even luckier to receive a date in it... hummmmmmm thats hopeful isnt it?? lol Meanwhile I guess I will just busy myself in making the copy of the orginal peititon and get it ready to send to my fiance. Still havent figured out how I want to prepare it. lol

I dont think they will give you an interview date unless they have already scheduled it and sent the packet out to him, so it might be a little early but worst case they just wont answer you....

Congratulations.

Regardless what the letter says, ALL petitions go to NVC for forwarding to the consulate. NVC will have their way with it. That takes 2 days to 2 months. Then it is sent to the consulate. You can write (email) to the consulate, refer to the NVC case number (when you get that from NVC) and ask if they have it yet.

But don't freak out. It USUALLY takes just a few days there.
