The First Step: Filing the Petition

  • You, the U.S. citizen sponsor, must file Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e), with the USCIS office that serves the area where you live. See Direct Filing Addresses for Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) for information on where to file the petition. Further information is available on the USCIS website under Fiancé(e) Visas. Note: Form I-129F cannot be filed at a U.S. Embassy, Consulate, or USCIS office abroad.
  • Upon approval, USCIS will forward your petition to the National Visa Center (NVC). The NVC will give you a case number and send your petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in the country where your fiancé(e) lives.

I expected a couple of months, but, for a NOA 2 ?? That is ridiculous!!

But, I digress, keeping the faith that by next month I'll be praising USCIS workers (smile)

Good luck all!

yeah i feel you it shouldn't take that long to get the NOA2. Hope the USCIS workers have a kind heart and try to process as many cases as possible for the holidays next week. Hopefully they are not closed for too many days over the next few weeks to slow down the process even more than it already is.

Newbie here.... My I-797c is dated Nov 19th. My fiance is from the Ukraine. I go crazy trying to understand the current processing times. Does it make a difference what country she is from? What is the current processing times? Thanks

Welcome Shootfighter, did you fill out your timeline to get the estimate as to when your case will be adjucated? for the most part the system does give a pretty close estimate as to the estimated date that the case will be adjucated. I wish you the best of luck on your journey and hopefully it goes smoothely.

We just keep patiently waiting. Congrats to all that got approved! ClockWatch2.gif

as I told someone earlier try calling because I did and 3 days after I got the NOA2 text. I'm really not sure if that had any impact but it doesn't hurt to call and speak to a live person. I actually called 3 times on the second call they told me I had to wait 5 months prior to contacting them but I didn't. good luck hope you get word soon.
