February 2018 I-129F Filers, Part II

[Verona and Andrew 50]

Hi everyone. I have a question, how long does it normally take to recieve a hard copy of NOA 2 once you been approved? 

 

I am a little bit worried, because we have only been told that we were approved over the phone with no updates anywhere.

 

And one more question, does USCIS send our documents to NVC? Or do we have to do anything?

 

Thanks in advance

Don't worry it is the same with me. No updates - only over the phone. It should take 1-2 weeks. And the USCIS sends everything we do nothing at this stage. This site details it out nicely:

Normally its 3 to 5 days once posted on 1 of the sites. With it not posted it's hard to tell. Just check ur mail daily.

Thanks for your response.

 

What about them sending it to NVC? How long does that normally take?

The Tier 2 erson told us it was approved yesterday and they will send it to us soon.

Good Morning VJ family!  First of all, I want to thank this wonderful community for all the support.  

 

WE HAVE BEEN APPROVED!!!!!  Just about 2 hrs ago I woke up to an email stating action has been taken on my case.  I logged in and got the Approval on the new website.  Its such a relief now.  All those still waiting, your time will come soon.  My patience was just as desperate but now such a weight has been lifted.  Good luck to all!

 

NOA1 - old Feb 20

NOA1 - new Feb 22

NOA2 - Sept 5 (197 days)

 

Thank you my love, Thank God, Thank You VJ Family and Thank You USCIS (thus far 😃) ---....now a little bit more waiting and to the next nervous situation "THE INTERVIEW"

I just called my fiancé if he’s not had at least an interview or scheduled one by December I’m just going to take the baby to see him. I’m so hurt with this whole process

Ur within normal processing time. No one can do anything as this time for u. Must wait till day 210 before u can call and get assistance. 

This is normal for them to start the next month before previous month and months are finished.  As uscis workers work at differant speeds and or case loads are different.

hang in there. U waited this long it should not be much longer now..

I’m very talkative today because at this point I’ve given up and need to vent just talked to a tier 2 officer. He was way nicer than the last lady he told me my case has been worked on as of August 17th so he told me to factor in the holiday weekend my case had only been actively worked on 10 days or so. So next week should be my week. It just seems weird that my case hadn’t been looked at since August 17th

200 days is just the perfect time to call.

Please guys don't forget to update your timeline whether NOA2 or RFE.  It would really go a long way in helping those who haven't started as well as assisting visa journey.

Some have been very fortunate calling prior to 210 days including myself.

I had a legit reason which gave me access to tier 2 (officer).
