Sent I-129F but have questions

[MJhawk 0]

My fiance sent the I-129F for the K1 visa to CSC on Oct 6th we recieved the NOA1 on Oct. 12th and the cheque was already cashed.

My question is between the NOA1 to the NOA2 what do you do to check your status of your petition? How long does it normally take between the NOA1 & NOA2? I signed up for the USCIS status check when should I start to see that they have started working on it?

Also does the NOA1 & NOA2 get sent to the petitioner and the packet 3 & 4 get sent to the foreign fiancee??

Are there any other forms that we need to expect?

If you have already set up notification on the USCIS website, you can check it as much as you want but for me I checked it quite a bit but I saw no change to the status until the petition was approved. Ours took 4 months from K-1 to K-2 but others are taking much less time now. It just depends...there is no rhyme or reason. At this point, the name of the game is patience...and a lot of waiting. As far as packet 3 and 4, that will be sent to your fiance. I would suggest to start looking at the forums set specifically for your region. and also looking at the guuides for the other paperwork that will be required for the next steps so you can research the questions that may come up for you at that time. There is a lot of information that will help on this website but you have to search to find the answers so I would also suggest getting familiar with this website. You can start preparing for the next steps while you are waiting for the NOA2. Once you receive the NOA2, the file will go to the NVC and then to the embassy. Sometimes the file is in and out of the NVC in a couple of days and for others it can be caught up in the system for a while...

Thanks for the quick response but I thought Packet 3 & 4 get sent to the foreign fiancee not the petitioner, is that correct?

[gmjdmj 2]

That is correct. You are the petitioner and she is the fiancee. She will receive packet 3 and 4. Packet 3 is only going to be a letter that directs her to the Embassy website to download forms for her to fill out and return to the embassy. A lot of times, people do not wait for the packet 3. We didn't. All we did was confirm with the Department of State that the packet had been mailed and then proceeded from there...Sorry if I am jumping ahead
