After 129F approved...No NOA@ (hard copy)

[JCarlos1 0]

Last Friday when I was checked my USCIS's case status I saw that my 129F had been approved.

Message says: "On April 19, 2013, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283"

I did not receive any notification by email and I still have not received my NOA2 (hard copy) so I don't know what "instructions" I need to follow.

Please, could you help me:

1- What is the average waiting time to receive the NOA2 by mail after 129F has been approved by USCI (in the computer system)?

2- What is the average waiting time to receive the notification from the National Visa Center after 129F has been approved by USCI?

3- Can I continue this process of the K1 without having received the NOA2 (hard copy?

4- Can I call the NVC without having the NOA2 hard copy? If the answer is yes, then what would be the case number (reference) I would give them? It would be the same case number that USCI assigned me at the beginning of the process (NOA10?

1) I believe there is a current graph or table on VJ to give you this info, but for me it took 7-8 business days I think...I'd have to check my timeline, but don't worry quite yet...It's painful I know, but when it does show up in the mail, you will be HAPPY as ever!

2) This goes rather quick really...3-5 days normally...Don't wait for any notification...Call them daily (they were readily available during our timeline...no waiting on hold)...They'll give you your case number if you ask. Then you can schedule your interview, but your spouse will need a passport #...Does he/she have it?

3) You can call NVC still, but I'm not sure you will get anywhere without the case number on the NOA2.

4) Same as above...You can call NVC still...I can't remember if the NOA1 and NOA2 had the same case numbers though, but I think they did. You will probably receive the NOA2 in the next couple days though...about the same time NVC is "ready to process"...again your fiance needs a passport # to schedule the interview...hope you've got that covered.

You're on the "fast track" looking to be faster...best wishes.

We waited for a month but figured they probably forgot to send us NOA2 so we called them and they finally sent us the hard copy. lol
