US Immigration from Japan

Hi! I am a K1 visa petitioner.

I never received the I-797 Approval (NOA2). I did receive the I-797 Receipt (NOA1).

It seems the I-485 needs both. I filed an eRequest with USCIS but we are already close to the 90 day mark here I'm the states and apparently that will take 30 days to be responded to With no assurance I will get the copy for I-797 NOA2 Approval.

Has anyone filed without it, instead using a copy of NOA1, a pdf of the online site showing the status is approved, or even a letter from the embassy saying they received the approval?

I am getting worried and am shocked to see the copy of this paper is a requirement even though we never got it.

Hello, we are an American & Filipino couple interviewing for the K1 fianc visa in Tokyo Japan. The embassy will likely tell us how to go about getting a Japanese background check soon. We also will surely want an NBI background check from the Filipinnes as well as the CINOMAR or "cert of no marriage."

Does anyone have any idea of how to get the NBI background check in the best way? Do they have to send it to us sealed in a special envelope? My fiance is saying that they don't ever seal the background checks and just hand you a loose a piece of paper. I am worried that if we give the consulate officer a loose NBI background check, they might get upset that it was not sealed first. Or does the NBI have to send it to Tokyo?

Thank you.

My husband and I applied CR1 in May 2023, we received NOA 1 on the same month but 148 days later, there s no other updates from USCIS.
How long does it usually take to receive NOA2? And anyone applied the same visa on the same month as us?

Hi

I received welcome letter from NVC 4 days ago and tried logging into the account but fails every time.

"the selected case number and invoice identification number combination you entered does not match our records." shows up every time I try to enter.

Has anyone have had similar issue and if so, how did you get it solved?

Hello all,

I applied for I-90 renewal on 9/29/23, and the green card is being produced on 10/4/23. Will update when I receive the physical card.
