NOA1 is a reciept of notice and NOA2 is acceptance of notice.

Once you submit your petition to the USCIS Service Center, you will receive a Receipt Notice, commonly referred to on the internet as NOA1. The time it takes to receive the NOA1 varies.

The NOA1 Receipt Number is the number you can then use to track your case. You can check the status in the given link USCIS Case Status Online

On completition of the adjudication of the petition, you will then receive an Approval Notice, commonly referred to on the internet as NOA2.

If you're going thru consular processing (you are living OUTSIDE the US), no.

It will not be current forever. Retrogression will happen come Oct 2013 visa bulletin. Priority date movement changes every VB so nothing is definite.

but i think it reduces the long waiting time

Originally from 5-6 years, now its 2-3 years.

5-6 years for f2a visa? are you kidding me? it was 2-3 years. Now after the current status from aug 2013 it will further low to 1.5 years.

Why would I kid about it? Did you think it was and will be current all the time? The length of waiting time DEPENDS on the movement of the visa bulletin. Check the VB archives so you'll have an idea.

Its one process after another, from USCIS to NVC to your Embassy and some are put in long AP. Dealing with this is not a walk in the park so do your research and prepare ahead, okay?

but it will not for 5-6 years that is sure max 2 years

[Mrs Tams 5]

I agree with you, Asharuet. It won't take as long as it used to. One year sounds about right. ~~~~

Of course, I didn't say it will take 5-6 years NOW.

Hello guys,

Id like some help on understanding what is going on with the priority dates being current for august.

My priority date is Aug 15, FA2, Im living outside the USA, how does it affect me? Does that mean I wont have to wait the usual 1-2years to get it approved?

Thanks,
