Is an approval notice (I-797) the noa 2? And other questions:)

[Mupp N Moo 1]

Today I received a I-797 approval notice for the I129F I filed for my fiance and there were a few things I was wondering about.

First off, it gives a valid date of 10/17/13-2/16/14- what exactly is valid?

Secondly, it says that the approved petition has been approved and forwarded to the listed consulate, but there is no consulate listed- he's English so should it say "London" somewhere, or do they mean that it's been forwarded to the California Service Center?

I'm under the weather today and not able to make sense of the guides up on this site- now it goes to the NVC? For some reason I thought that it would be going straight to his consulate in the UK. How long does it take to go through the NVC, when could we expect his interview to take place?

If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it:)

Thanks!

You have to finish the rest of the process ( interview and medical ) until 02/16/2014.

The approved petition will be sent to NVC by CSC. This usually takes 6 weeks based on the current trend for CSC. Our NOA2 was approved Sept 03 and NVC received it Oct 16. You may start calling NVC after a month if you want to in case their process speeds up ( we started calling NVC after a month from the NOA2 approval date ).

Good luck!

The consulate listed on the I-129F form that you filed for your fiance. If I am not mistakenly remember, the box almost on the bottom of form.
