How long between NOA1 and NOA 2?

[Laura&Ciprian 5]

took me 204 days

It all depends on your case what service center you sent it to. I received my NOA2 about 3 and 1/2 months from when I filed. I sent my I130 on February 25th, my priority date is February 27th and my wife and I are in the final stages of the Visa Process. I am hoping to have her up here sometime in late September. I know it is very frustrating and the time apart is very hard, but hang in there for your success will be very sweet. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU BOTH.

It also depends on what visa type you are petitioning for.

Hello everyone :-)

My fiancé lives in Kabul, Afghanistan and doesn't have a mailing address as many people there don't. Once the embassy receives her NVC packet, how will they send her the papers and stuff? Will they call her to pick it up or what?

You would probably be better off starting your own thread with your embassy specific questions on the 'Middle East, and North Africa' board in the 'Regional' forums. Also, be sure to check out your embassy information. You can find this from the link at the top of this page labeled 'Embassy Info'.

Thanks. I'm sure I can hang on another two or three months. Just good to get my bearings and have a sense of where I am at in the process.

As others have already mentioned: You can then get a better sense of your place in the process.

Good luck on your visa journey.

We received NOA1 23 March, then we got an odd letter from the CSC asking us if we know a certain person named Robert Ma who changed his named or something. Totally unrelated and I have no clue which cow's ####### did they pull that #### from. Oh, when we rang, they said we should send another G325 since they "lost" it. Well the person did admit it in his own subtle way. But anyway, chill out.

I say be prepared for anything, there is no garuntee on a time for anyone. Cases get randomly approved in no specific order no matter where they are sent. its ridiculous to even try to understand how this works

I also filed to CSC and it took me 4 months to get NOA2, from 3/14 to 7/18. I'd say the earliest you'll get NOA2 is the first week of August. Keep checking!

Please fill your timeline, this will help you with dates as well as the rest of the VJ community.

Good Luck.

Colombian_PTE, you must have a crystal ball, your timeline shows that you met each other 11/20/2012.

Damn your crystal ball is good, lol

Forgive my sense but I am a bit airy today as my fiancee is AT THIS MOMENT boarding her flight from Florida to LAX and I pick her up at 9:30 TONIGHT, so 5 hours and 30 minutes more of waiting!

Good luck!
