After they send you the hard copy of NOA1 (which basically tells you that they received your application) they will send you another letter that will state eighter "approved" or RFE. This second notice may take 2, 3 ,4 or even 5 months from the day you got your NOA1 , or less, every case is different, some cases are processed faster , others- slower. Between the first notise and the second notice the mmigration services are doing a background check of you and your fiance, and it takes time. You just be patient, dont think of RFE , the second notice will eventually come :), it is just hectic to wait, but it is what it is... Anyway, wellcome to VJ

Actually, after your first notice (NOA1), your file goes on a shelf until it is gotten to. Months later, when it is finally looked at, that is when things start moving and an RFE or NOA2 will be sent.

For us, NOA1 was the first week of July and an RFE was in November. NOA2 was January. Nothing more since then.

Actually, between the first notice and the second notice your petition is sitting in a box with a bunch of other petitions, in a room full of boxes containing petitions. Nobody is doing anything with it. It's just waiting it's turn to be reviewed by an adjudicator.

The background and security checks usually aren't started until an adjudicator pulls the petition, and it usually doesn't take very long. The adjudicator just runs the bio information for the petitioner and beneficiary through several law enforcement and security databases.
