I'm glad to hear that! I'm hoping we won't have to schedule them too far out!

@ScarletWitch6x @summer4042 Here is the letter he received. Sorry the edges are a little blurry

I hope they get to your case soon. It's nerve-wracking having to wait. The embassy didn't schedule his appointment. The letter stated that he should attend his medical exam first /then/ make an appointment for the interview. That's not how I have understood it to be done from other people here on VJ but those were the instructions in the letter.

Yes, he got a letter in the post. It was just very simple with instructions on the next steps. I hope you get yours soon! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

My fiance just got his letter from the London embassy today! He's going to schedule his medical on Monday. It was just over 8 weeks from our NOA2 to getting this letter. Have you heard anything yet?

@ScarletWitch6xTHank you SO much for this. I'm in the exact same position it seems as @summer4042, waiting for the NVC to send our petition to London. Got my NOA2 on May 13th and my case was finally marked as ready on June 24th. I've been really stressed and unsure and this reassured me that everything is going normally. Hoping my fiance will get his embassy letter in the coming week!

I see. I suspected that was the case but gave it a try anyway. Unfortunately I don't have a case number from them yet. I'll fill out the public enquiry form from above and try to be patient!

Just tried putting the USCIS receipt # in the immigrant visa search and it said "Your search did not return any data." I will go ahead and fill out the NVC form. Thanks so much for the link!

Two weeks ago I got the NOA2 for my I-129F application. I just tried to call the NVC (phone # on this site is given as 603 334-0700) to see if they had received my application. Unfortunately they have closed this line down. The recorded message sent me to nvc.state.gov. On that website there is an announcement that says this "Answers to many common questions can be found using our self-service tools. Please log into https://ceac.state.gov for your most current case status and for a list of any documents you are required to submit." When I use that link, I assumed I could find what I needed under "Check my Visa application status" under "Non-immigrant" Unfortunately the only case number I have is the USCIS receipt Number (WAC***) but that appears to be wrong. I'm not really sure what to do at this point so if someone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! 😄

We got our NOA1 on 2/13/24 and our NOA2 on 5/13/24 so only 90 days. I was shocked it went that fast.

I'm still fairly new to all of this, but if there is one thing I've learned from everyone here on VJ, it's to be completely honest. As far as I know you're not doing anything illegal and it's how you make your living, so there's no way to avoid it. I think your best bet is to be completely open and honest about it, and if someone is uncomfortable about the images, that's on them! Good luck!!

From what I've seen in the forums here that's a pretty typical wait time. Every case is different. If you're truly worried you could call the USCIS Customer Service line but at only 10 days I suspect they're going to tell you just to be patient. Unfortunately, things move slowly with immigration. Sorry, I wish I could put your mind at ease! Good luck!

K1 guide gives a 2-3 week wait time. It can take longer though from what I've seen in the forums.

You'll get it! Don't panic. You're still well within the time frame for it! Let me know when it does arrive though!

I did get a text. I sent my application on February 6th, they received it in TX on the 8th and I got a text notification on the 13th. I just received the actual receipt of it in the mail yesterday (Feb. 20th) Now that I think about it, Monday was a holiday so offices were probably closed!

Try not to compare your case to others! Easier said than done, I know. But it'll only add to your stress. You'll get your notice just give it a bit more time!

It can take anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks to get the NOA1. I've seen some folks here on VJ take a bit longer. You were able to verify it arrived so that's good! Now you just have to wait. I know it's stressful! I'm just starting the process myself! Did you fill out the G-1145 (E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance - link below!) and attach it to the front of your application? They'll send you a text and/or email once they've received it. If you didn't, don't worry, you'll get the NOA1 through the mail, it'll just take a bit longer! https://www.uscis.gov/g-1145

That's true! Thank you for listing the pros and cons as well!

We did consider the spousal but ultimately decided on the K1. Do you recommend that route over the K1?

Hello, new to the site and in the process of compiling items for my I-129F petition to bring my fiance over from the UK! This is probably a silly question, but when I make copies of my birth certificate, ticket stubs, boarding passes, etc., should these all be in color? And can I just do this on my home printer or should I have better quality copies? Thanks so much for your help! I'm probably overthinking a lot of this but I want to make sure I have everything perfect the first time and minimize delays! EDIT: One additional question! Do all petitions go to the Dallas lockbox? Or are there other locations depending on where you are?
