Approved NOA2

[R&Z 1]

HI All,

Received a text from USCIS on 07/25/2013 that my I-129F case hase been updated. I also received an email with the following:

Application Type: I129F , PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Your Case Status: Post Decision Activity

On July 25, 2013, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly.

For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations.

I called USCIS on 07/26/2013, and they confirmed my petition was approved (still waiting on the letter in the mail), and we should contact NVC for further case updates. I will give NVC a week or two before contacting them for my case number.

P.S. when do I have to fill out the I134 form? Will this be accompanied with the packet my fiance receives from her embasy?

FYI. January filler here. Our case was transfered 06/21/2012. Just over a month ago.

Congratulations but skip the NVC and contact the Department of State as it says in the notification. I feel if you contact the NVC in a weeks time, like I had, you will get the response that it is not there yet and that the notification you received doesn't mean anything. Yes the second person I talked to said this to me, and also to wait up to 8 weeks. The next day I contacted the DoS (thanks to some great advice) and found out my case number and that the NVC had it and should be done processing it soon. You can reach them at 202-663-1225 (press 1 for English and then 0 for an operator)

As for the I134 you should start doing that now, many of us start after the NoA2, because you will also need a lot of supporting documents (read the direction for it too, as it says you need duplicates for the support docs) for it. You should go to Embassy website and see what all is required and gather that as well and send it to. This is as far as I can advise you without seeing any timeline information.

Thank you for the advise. I called DOS today and got my NVC case number. Still haven't received the letter in the mail as yet. The guy at DoS advised that I can call NVC to get further details on the case, but as it is right now, NVC received the cases and is processing to be sent out to the local embassy.
