My fiancee and I are applying for a K1. We sent in our I-129F and got the NOA1 on February 15, 2012. We were prepared to wait at least 5 months for approval, but got the NOA2 on June 29, 2012... a couple weeks earlier than expected! We were hoping things would cruise from here.

Alas, it is now July 26, 2012 and no word from the NVC. Called the phone number for NVC listed on these forums (thanks VJ'ers!) and was told that they have not received our case yet. I was instructed to email a scanned copy of our NOA2 to nvcresearch@state.gov, which I've just done.

Hoping our case doesn't get lost into the ether. No special circumstances for us, and we were very diligent with all of our paperwork, so it would be very sad indeed to get too hung up at this step. Fingers crossed they track it down soon!

Does anyone have any experience with how long it typically takes NVCRESEARCH to reply once you've sent in a scanned NOA2?

Thanks everyone.
