Hi all...

A rather silly question I guess... we have received notice of approval from USCIS, case now with NVC. At what point does the NOA2 happen? I keep seeing it everywhere but not sure what it means..

Is this when the NVC approves and sends documents to your embassy?

Thanks :-)

NOA2 - is when USCIS approves the petition (I-130)

Yes, you are wrong! The NOA2 is only a form stating that your petition has been approved and is being forwarded to the repsective Embassy for the country of your fiance. It does not contain any control numbers or receipt numbers... these must be issued by the Embassy.

K1 visa process is different in CR1. We got our case number as soon as our case enter NVC. Our case number comes from NVC I guess.

Actually, both Jiqi and Sen/Neil are slightly incorrect. The NOA2 is a notification from the USCIS stating that your petition has been approved. For a CR1/IR1 case, it means your I-130 has been approved. Then your file gets sent to the NVC, not the embassy, for more processing. Please read the guide for a nice overview of the process, then hang out in the NVC forum. It'll be very helpful!

It took about 3 weeks between NOA2 of our I-130 and assignment of a case number from the NVC. You can find out on the automated system when your NVC case number has been generated using your USCIS case number.

Good luck and congrats on your I-130 approval.
