11.21.2006 - Steve received another Notice of Action (I-797C) from USCIS from the mail today. This time, the Notice Type is an Approval Notice (valid from November 17, 2006 to March 17, 2007) for the I-129F Petition for Alien Fiance he has sent. The Notice Date is November 17, 2006. It says that the Petition has been APPROVED! And that they have sent the original visa petition to the Department of State National Visa Center (NVC) which means that the INS has completed all action and that further inquiries should be directed to the NVC. It also says that the NVC processing should be complete within two to four weeks after receiving the petition from INS. The NVC will create a case record with our petition information. NCV will then send the petition to the US Embassy or Consulate where I will be interviewed for my visa. A notice will be mailed to Steve when NVC has sent our petitioin to the US Embassy. The notification letter will provide us with a unique number for our case, name and address of US Embassy where our petition has been sent to. It says that if it has been four weeks since Steve has received this approval notice and he has not received notification from NVC that our petition has been forwarded overseas, we should then call NVC. So that means that Steve should get a notice from NVC by next week (December 18-22). If none arrives, then we should call NVC.
