Preparation between NOA1 and NOA2

[chubuwest 1]

Thank you for everyone's help so far. I sent out the I-130 petition for my wife last week, and thanks to the G-1145 form we have already received confirmation of the receipt of the petition. A letter with with instructions on how to access our case online at UCSIS should come soon.

Assuming a wait time of several months, what can be done in the meantime to help Step 2 go faster? Preparing all the documents for the Step 1 took more time than expected, so hopefully we can get some of that preparation out of the way before we receive our NOA2...

Thanks in advance!

You can sign up on the USCIS website to receive text/email notifications as well. Take this time to review all the steps for the NVC stage. You will need to gather some financial docs. for the I864, your wife will need to order & gather some Original documents (as well as send a photocopy of each) I printed all the pages of these and referred to them often when putting together the packets for AOS & IV. Read these:

Ask questions if you are unsure about anything. Plenty of Vjers have the answers. Good Luck!
