how long does it take to NOA2?

[luukee 19]

Vjers,

 

we received our NOA1 on June12th, but haven't seen NOA2 yet.  how long does it general take? (our was sent to CSC).

 

i'm a bit nervous about it because we have some really bad postal people in our area, they mis deliver mails quite a lot.  I wished there was a way to check, but it looks like you can only check status after getting the NOA2 right?

 

thanks again.

I am not sure if you are talking about for a K1 visa or not ? but if so I think it generally takes 3 to 5 months to get an NOA 2... I received my NOA1 on March 20 and I am still waiting for an NOA2..  (FYI - I sent mine to texas and it was transferred to California)  I think most people wait over 3 months. Does that answer your question?

This is the ROC (I-751) forum.

Not sure what the NOA 2 you are referring to is.

 

 

For the I-751, you file, they cash your cheque,  you get an I-797 extension letter within a couple of weeks.

You then get a biometrics appointment letter.

 

Those two are guaranteed. Beyond that, luck of the draw whether you get an RFE, interview, approval, or a sh!tshow that lasts several years.

sorry I posted under removing conditions, so I should've been more clear, but I meant after getting NOA1 for the I751 application ROC....

 

thanks

Thannks mindthegap,

 

do you know when you get the biometrics appointment letter? I've noticed a few VJer's get it between 10-15 days after getting their NOA1.  it's already been more than 15 days for us, so that's why i'm wondering.  The other thing I tried to do was go on uscis site and create a login to check the status of the case, based on the W number, but it doesn't seem to take it.  the NOA1 letter did say to wait until getting the biometrics letter to create a login though.  So maybe it hasn't been done yet.  I guess i'm just a bit paranoid about our mail people (yesterday one of our renewed credit cards came, and the envelope was opened from the side), stuff like that

 

yeah, I've been reading the horror stories, it's just crazy. 

 

thank you again for your information.

You can sign up for the USPS  informed delivery using your address - that way you will know what's coming your way. If you miss any mails you can confront the postal office about it.

for CSC? Generally 6-8 months if you're approved and don't have an interview or RFE.    It takes about a month or two to get the biometrics, sometimes longer.  You cannot sign up for updates etc until the biometrics letter.  This is because it has it's own receipt number and you need that to get case updates.

I would wait until after 30 days from the date printed on the NOA1, then call USCIS and have them escalate it to a Tier-2 officer. He/she would be able to create a SR to request a biometrics appointment (and you can ask him/her for the receipt number that you can use to track case status, which is the same # printed on the bio appt letter.) The receipt # on the NOA1 is the I-751 receipt number. Once the I-751 petition data has been entered into the system, the system creates an internal CR189 petition and the receipt # for the CR189 is the one you need to get status updates.

very good info Frontgear!  yeah I noticed that there was a ref number started with W, I assumed that they would use the same number.  I'll try calling after 30 days

 

thank you!
