k1 process

[IluvmyLi]

Can someone please post the steps and normal times between these steps?

 

Such as what NOA1 and NOA2 are. And what and when the P2,P3,P4. I know from what David said earlier on another post that the P3 is sent to the SO and she has to fill out 3 forms. I really dont need to know the complete contents of the kitchen sink, but just a brief run down of the process. Thanks much.

Since you have sent in your I-129f right now you are waiting for NOA1(Notice of Action) this lets you know that your petition was recieved, usually takes about 2 to 3 weeks to get. Next you are waiting for approval of that petition and then you will recieve an NOA2(P-2) or an approval, check USCIS web site for processing dates to figure time. From there your petition is sent to NVC(National Visa Center) in Portsmouth New Hampshire where it undergoes futher processing which includes a security check, which can take anywhere from 2 weeks to a year, most are processed in two to four weeks. You can call the NVC at this time and get the GUZ (Guangzhou) number that is assigned. After approval the NVC sends the petition to Guangzhou and it "ages' in a warehouse there usually for about 30 days and is then input into the computer and a P-3 is generated and sent to your SO. Upon her return of the documents requested it is then processed through another security check and queued up for the interview date at which time a P-4 would be sent to your SO. P-3 to P-4 time used to be 5 to 6 months, but it apears to be quickening up as of late.

 

I think I hit most of it others will add where I was shy on details

Thanks all. Such a wealth of information on this board. What is the 001 site some of you talk about?

[Guest Gene]

001 is a board much like the Candle, that is in China and is a support for the Chineses ladies. The link to it is in the Links and Resources section I believe

 

You will have more questions as you get farther into the process, so ask what you need to

See our timeline for all the major (and minor) steps you can expect to go through. I think our time ranges nowadays lean towards the "longer than normal" end of the spectrum. That means our case took about 14 months from I-129F to interview. These days you can expect perhaps around 12 months.
