Do you know how long it usually takes? Sorry, I'm very excited, and I can't wait to go back to my wife.

I got my approval the 18th and sent to NVC the 24th.

Hi Does anyone have any idea when I might get NOA2 for my wife's I-130 application, I am a US citizen and I applied for my wife on last September 26, 2016 as per NOA1 date, i applied from NYC so i suppose my application went to Vermont Service center and there isn't updated since November 30 2016,

 

I-130 mailed on 9/21/2016

I-130 received on 1/26/2016

NOA1 date 1/26/2016

Currently waiting on NOA2 approval note/mail/update (it has been more than 4 months)

Where you live in the United States has almost no bearing on which service center your application was sent to. You need to look at your receipt number which was on the NOA1 and the first three letters will tell you which service center your application was sent too. For example, LIN = Nebraska Service Center.

 

Are you saying that it was 4 months before you received your NOA1? This is an absurdly long time. Are you able to check you status on the USCIS website? In either case, unless your application was sent to the Texas Service Center, you are still within normal processing time. If you've been sent to Nebraska, it will likely take 5-7 months, based on current estimates.

 

Good luck!

More than likely it would not take 6 weeks. That's the standard timing. I got mine in a week. You just have to keep calling them.... Good luck

I second Wizzle... once NVC gets the case, its usually within 2 weeks that you get the case number assigned. It took them about a week and a half for me. Just keep calling.

Louie198 - based on the VJ community it completely varies. Some people's cases get sent within day(s) and others it takes a week or sometimes more. Just prep your materials for the NVC in the meantime. You don't want to slow yourself down, NVC is slow enough

Thanks guys.

So once the NVC receives the case, how long before they send the welcome letter ?

Hello all,

It depends on which service center is handling your case. Some are faster than the others.

first up thank you so much for your reply, with the information that you gave it seems like my case (LIN169********) went to Nebraska Service Center, i did receive the NOA1 with-in first week after submission of i-130 and since then it has been over 4 months that i have been waiting on NOA2 Approval, i received NOA1 on September 26, 2016. i checked USCIS website also i called them, all they were saying they are currently looking at July 2nd applications and no other timeline nor update. would you know any update by any chance? 

Thank you so much once again, i really appropriate it

My i-130 was approved a couple days ago, and the status at USCIS website changed to "Case was approved". Does this status will change again to something else or not? 

 

 

Congrats!!

Status might change once sent to NVC... It depends. I would suggest you call NVC about a week to see if they have your case. Give them your USCIS #, to search for your case... Good luck
