Thanks. We aren't in a rush. Will probably still call after 1 month if i truly do not hear anything. We don't want her interview until December so we don't have to rush.

Anytime December will fine, just be sure to keep on eye on the validation time of your NoA2. It is valid for 4 months to get your visa approved.

We are good until January 31st on the NOA2. We will get it extended by 4 more months after so it is valid until May when she will come.

If it says Form I-797C, Notice of Action in the upper right corner, then that is your NOA1.

Seems like the NOA2 train slowed down these last couple of days. Any new NOA2's in here? Hoping ours is right around the corner!

I'm also anxiously waiting. I believe federal offices are closed Monday, so the train will probably slow a bit

How long till you get your NOA2 depends on many things. From what I've seen here it can range from 2 to 4 weeks. For us, it has been almost 3 weeks since our NOA1 date and nothing yet. Now that you have the NOA1 you can track your case with the USCIS tracking app and on the myUCIS website using the case number on your NOA1. Your NOA1 should say what service center your case was sent to. If it went to California, your case number will start with WAC.

Hope that helps. Good luck and God bless

Oh! You can also request electronic notification of your status with the app and website so you don't have to wait on snail mail.

Hey Jemal deen,

You should fill in your timeline! It will help other members gauge their cases, and will help the website get better statistics for processing times

Woohoo, NOA2 hard copy received in the mail yesterday, 10/10/15.

Ok, I do have one question about the validity date on the NOA2 that I have seen come up here as well a couple times. I'm a bit confused on why it is being said that the NOA2 has to still be valid when you enter the US on the K1 Visa. From everything I've read online about this, the NOA2 validity date is just for the time to get the approved Visa. Once you have the approved K1 Visa, the visa itself is good for up to 6mos which has nothing to do with the NOA2 validity date. So I'm very confused on why this is being referenced as needing to be extended for some when nothing like this is stated on the USCIS website or anywhere else that I have found online. Does anyone have any clarification on this because it seems like we are getting some discrepancies about this.

The reason it's been talked about a lot lately is that another member here got denied entry at POE due to the K-1 NOA2 being out of date.

The immigration officer got it totally wrong, but it still meant she was turned away, and had to go back to the embassy to get her envelope re-sealed and an extension.

So basically, you're right that it's not necessary for your NOA2 to be valid at POE, but there's a tiny chance an ill-informed immigration officer will turn you away because of it.
