Hi everybody. I send my I 129F for K1 Visa July 12.I got my NOA 1 July 17.Today is my 158 th day.And today i call USCIS for second time. First time i call December 17.I was very happy then, because they told me in 2 days i must hear from them. But 5 days after, i hear NOTHING, so i decided to call again. A very kind lady was trying to help me. She was really nice. I spend more than 30 minutes talking to her.She start asking many questions, and she said, she is going to give me ,a Referral Number, for my Service request. At the end she told me that i have to call again after 15-30 days, because I AM NOT OUTSITE THE NORMAL PROSSEDING TIME OF 5 MONTHS. I try to explain to her that i am over the 5 months[ 6 days over]. She was saying to me, that the computer do not accept my service request, and she can not give me a referral Number, because i am under 5 months.Call back after 15-30 days, it was the only thing she advice me to do. What i do now? Did anybody got the same respond? Good luck to all of us. Thank you.

Hello Peter&Nut,

Our NOA1 is July 21 we got our NOA2 on December21 but t was issue on December10 so we got it after 8 days.I think yours on it was and it could be delay maybe bcz of Christmas and many of workers toke vacations, but still you need check for it.I hope it will come soon.Just be patient I know how it is hard to be patient because i was irritating too when was awaiting our NOA2 but then it came and now even have no time need fast preparing rest documents so do not worry it will come if even little later. :thumbs:

Good friends had their NOA2 take 10 months. No RFEs just took that long. Remember when you started you were warned not to put much faith in the timelines?

Be patient and just wait. If your Cade is solid you will have no problems.

Remember immigration of a foreign fiancé(e) is a privilege not a right.

I understand your frustration. It took me about 6 months to get NOA2. Not alot you can do about it. Hang in there, you'll get it soon.

(I'm going for the IR-1 and blowing off the K-3. Even if it takes an extra couple months, it's worth it to not have to deal with USCIS again)

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Note:

Please fill out I-130, wait 6 months for approval, then 3 more months for an interview. (Unless of course we've bombed your country into the stone age, then you qualify for expedited processing.)

Welcome to the USA!!!
