After these horrible weeks of waiting we finally got an answer. Not the one we wanted though... so sad to get a RFE  it was on sep 7. Our noa1 is april 19

Awwww... I was actually happy to get my RFE!  At least my file wasn't sitting lost in a dark corner accidentally shoved under someone's desk!  Hopefully it's just a box you forgot to tick off.  In anticipation though, just so you can get it out the next day, consider gathering more proof that you'd met.  Passport stamp copies with the passport pictures, etc

So we just received our NOA2 in the post. We were actually approved on the 7th, hardcopy sent out on the 8th, case tracker updated 11th as well as hardcopy received. 

 

Pretty impressed that it got to NC so quickly from California. Can anyone explain what the alien number on the hardcopy is used for please? 

 

Also my son (k2) petition isn't mentioned on the NOA2, is that normal?

Congratulations!  Let me know how the K2 works out.  My fiancée's sons are my K2's

The Alien number is the K-1 Beneficiary's Alien Registration number.    It is the same number that will be listed on the Visa and Green Card.  Crazy that it gets assigned at this early stage.  

 

And congratulations!

Hi all,

 

Congrats on more NOA2's, im so happy to see progress for a lot of people.
For those still waiting, I hope yours comes soon. You all deserve to feel that relief by now.

@amishbaby That honeymoon looks amazing! I can't wait to plan mine.

 

Quick update that may or may not help people: Today I received my letter from the US Embassy In London. It is dated 9/9 (friday) THE DAY the tracker changed from 'in transit' to 'ready'. These cases must be being sent through email. There is just no way something can be mailed in one single day (between transit and ready).

The embassy send you the full copy of I-129F complete with approval stamp and officers workings (check marks etc). There is also a cover letter with LND number and instructions on what to do next. This letter is ideal to take to the medical as proof of LND number etc.

Happy Monday everyone, I hope this week is a good week

my fiance just called and was refused a tier 2. 153 days and i dont know what the hell to do. I'm at the end of my tether and being the beneficiary I can't do anything from my side of things. Just feel so bloody defeated, just being told "wait" or "it's within the timeframe"

Yeah only the petitioner can really get to tier two. Just have to ask the right questions

Hmm, did he ask to talk to tier two or did he ask if they could update him on status or background check and name check? I found that asking for tier 2 didn't always work, asking a question tier 1 can't answer typically did. As long as you are calm and friendly they typically will help.

Hey guys iam the petitioner ive been following along patiently waiting for my Noa2 

I was on video chat with my mom and got the app status case changed . Like holy ####### OMG OMG OMG i was exspecting a long delay because you know thats the story of my life. But at 143 days case active i was approved my NOA2 , i sent my application in april 21st . Iam in Massachusetts and myFiance resides in Jamaica. I havent seen him since nov2016 ive been saving money so we can have a good start from he comes here. Its been almost a year since ive seen him!!! Ill be attending his interview with him just because of the long gap inbetween time frames but i put together a solid packet. I didnt get a RFE i decides to do the application on my own because i realized no lawyer is going to put as much effort into this as i would.  And my highest level of education completed was 8th grade. As long as you do your research you can save the money. This is a proud accomplished moment and i can not wait to see my fiance again!!! Omg its been a long road of ups and downs. Moments of thinking maybe its just never going to come,  ive had mutiple people drop out on being our co sponsor . Were still waiting on his aunt to finish the cosponsor paperwork. My anxiety tells me to worry and that what if she our last hope drops out on us too. But the faith in me is like this HAS to work out. God knows hes the man for me

 

Noa1 april 21st

Noa2 sept 11

Goodluck to everyone on this journey 

It is a very exciting moment to recieve the information !!! I can only imagine the happienss we will get when his visa is in  hand!!!!
