Both my K1 and IR2 have ran through their courses and became US Citizens today~! It has been a long 9 years and I don't think I can do it without the helps from Candle, especially Don. I have some conflicts with some members during these years but I just wants to say "THANKS" at this moment to the Mods and my friends here. Thank You for giving me a life I have dreamed for. Sincerely, Gino

Thanks so much, Dan. You are a life saver ~!!

Hello, My 16 years old step son entered the States on 2/12/2015 with an IR2 Visa and I have few questions: 1) How long does he have to wait for his green card? It has been almost 2 months. 2) Will he automatically become an US Citizen after receiving his green card? 3) When can he apply for US Passport?

Gino, Roughly 6-7 months NOA1 to NOA2 based on VJ timelines. http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/k1list.php?cfl=0&op1=a&op2=d&op3=5&op4=2&op5=5,6,8,10,11,13,14,15,16,17,18,20,21,22,25,26,27,28,108,110,111,208,210,211&op6=All&op66=All&op7=China&dfile=No&adv=0 Thank so much for the useful link, Dan, just as worry as the first time Long way to go.

Mind to share the time line from filing I-130 to receiving the approval notice? Many thanks.

Thank you very much, Dan,

I filed a I-130 for my 14 year old step son in Nanjing on 10/03/2013 and received the I-797C on 10/07/203. Nothing after that for 2+ month and the USCIS online status is still showing initial review. Called NVC today and it's not in their system yet. I am wondering what is the normal waiting time between the first I-797C and the 2nd Notice of Action right now. Many thanks.
