hello everybody,can somebody please answer my question.we applied for k1 visa,we got a notice,NOA1 on march 31,and receipt number is on there,today is june 5 and we got nothing since then,i read post about alien number something,i dont understand what that is,is everybody supposed to get it,we are in vermont servise center.from what i read people from my country get their NOA2 in exact 2 months or even a lil less,i dont know what to do anymore,i have a feeling smth is wrong with it,when i go to check status on line type in the receipt number it always says inital reniew.thank u all

When you got your NOA1, they should have adjusted your alien registration number. If not, I would contact USCIS and find out why it wasn't updated. I think this gets adjusted again when the petition is about to be approved.

Also, two month NOA2 is rare unless your petition is expedited. In order to be expedited, your fiance's country has to be in crisis (meaning war, natural disasters, something big/serious).

It seems realistical processing time between NOA1 and NOA2 is about 6 months according to what I saw and read over the months. And then your fiance' still has to interview, and your packet gets send to NVC (National Visa Center) for approval, which will take another month or two.

I suggest patiences if you are an average Joe like me, because if you are, your wait is not even half way there yet.

Good luck!

Wow, congrats. But just in case things run over five months, I would have my fiance arrange a visit. He can always cancel if your paper work goes thru, but I would cover all basis rather than panicking later.

Btw, if you're unsure about the alien number adjustment or want to be notified when you case status changes, you can sign up at USCIS site and get automatic updates. All you need is your receipt number USCIS has provided with NOA1.

Congrats on your pregnancy! A less than 2 month NOA2 is highly likely if you're routed to CSC. However, if you're routed to TSC, expect 4.5-6 months. Your Timeline is not updated, so I don't know which SC you were routed to.

Hey guys/Girls! Hope all is well

I was casually looking on Igor's list and someone from March (Think 3rd of March) Got their NOA2, Now, I looked at their profile and the petitioner lived in Florida and the beneficiarie lived in Hong Hong, I never knew someone from March got approved and they were at TSC as well

Yes!!! I saw their journey too someone from HK

Yeah! That person, I'm not taking it as a good sign for us though, Since they have most of Jan/Feb to do before ours, So I'm following their thread to see how fast they can get through them Hitting 3 Months in a week and few days, Then 2 More Months till the 5 Month mark, Even though we most probably won't hear anything, But still, It won't take that long after the 5 Month mark

Yes 5 months is still official but the recent approvals I've seen are 4.5-6 months.

Aye! I've noticed approvals of around that time frame or just over 5 Months, But if you look at it now, It's not that long, We're in June now Sooo time for me to go to work to save some money

Agreed. Our NOA1 is only 13 days apart. I just told my fiancee yesterday that based on the recent approvals I've seen, I anticipate our NOA2 could occur somewhere from the end of July to early September. That's not really that far away & besides, I'll be in Germany visiting her from July 11-21. It's possible NOA2 could occur just after I leave. At least I'll get to be there for her birthday.
