received my I-797 now what?

[Patrick-LiuNa 4]

I was hoping that this letter would contain at least some kind of information about what else is to come, or what I should be doing next. There is almost NOTHING of any content included on this form I-797.. I understand that it is my NOA1, but where is the action lol? The email that I received stated that I should follow the directions included with in the contents of the NOA, however there is nothing for me to do or send.. I am a little confused..

Can anyone please shed a light on what ever it is that I am not seeming to get

Thank you

Mine was the same way. I am assuming it's a form letter that they also use for people who do need special instructions, like if they noticed a form wasn't signed. I will feel better when I get my NOA2, which should be any day.

First NOA is pretty much "hey we got your package".

It's just a waiting game until USCIS sends you the 2nd NOA which is when they have approved everything and then forward it to the NVC which in turn will assign you a # and forward it to the embassy.

The email you got is a cut-and-paste thing . I'm going through the adjust of status and the email says the exact same thing...and there were no instructions with that. lol. just more waiting.

In the meantime keep messages and phone call histories between now and when your fiancé goes to the interview to show the "on-going relationship" part of things. Have you checked out your specific forum yet? You may find some useful info there as to what you can do or at least find someone to ask

Hope this was of some help

It's simply stating they received your petition, not confusing. The only to do is wait for NOA2

[KayDeeCee 4,893]

The I-797c is the receipt notice. (NOA1). The approval notice(NOA2) will be an I-797.

This is exactly what happens when your petition is received at the Dallas Lockbox > http://www.uscis.gov...ons-and-answers

The Lockbox Service provider performs the following activities when processing incoming applications:

• Receive, open, sort and stage mail.
• Prepare and scan documents.
• Enter document data in system from scanned images.
• Accept or reject applications and related fees based on business rules.
• Balance applications and fees.
• Deposit payments to the U.S. Treasury

Your receipt notice (NOA1) will contain your receipt number and the service center location that your petition was sent to. Currently they are all being sent to California (CSC).

The action will start when they transfer your case to Guangzhou, and assign her a GUZ########### number. It won't be long after then when your fiancee will receive her Packet 3 from the embassy. She should start getting her documents together now (background check, birth certificate, etc. all notarized and translated).
