im one of the june filers... LET us Praise God For our Approval.... got our noa2 sept. 11 2009....




lets have patiently waiting for our case number sweety....

Whaaa I'm still waiting, and I applied early June I did get a touch yesterday though...So I guess thats progress!

Im fortunate enough to live with my husband in Canada, but I miss my family dearly! Grats to everyone who got approved!!

ginger and metro, keep the faith, it is coming!!!

divorced, thank you, you have known the struggles we have endured last year. i am still floating on cloud nine. didn't even dread waking up at 4:30am today

I am BEYOND happy for you, K!!!!

Donna, the puppy is adorable. I used to show dogs, and was a canine artist for many years. Oh, I guess I kinda still am, but it's hard to do anything creative when I'm so stressed!

I swear, K's news is so great! See you at NVC, K! I'll be the official greeter for the next 6 months, cause I'm stuck there for a while. LOL.

thanks Julie!!
yeah, donna, your pup is adorable. have you thought of a name?

I think (s)he looks like a "Bandit"

I say name him/her "RFE."

You should get magicjack, thats what I got my wife in India and it works great. Free calls I do occasionally use the calling card so that I have phone records as well.

my best friend had a yorkie named bandit. he was the best dog. she had him for 14 years. unfortunately had to put him down earlier this year. RIP, i still miss him .

we use magicjack too. lol

Rfe!! Lol as if I want to be reminded

We ended up calling him Lenny!

Thanks for the phone tips!

Great news!!!!

I finally got my email just now!!! I was a bit worried for a while since mine seemed to be a bit on the late side, but its been approved now!! So Im thrilled!

Congratulations! Welcome to the party!

congrats!

congrats, ginger!!!!

Congratulations!

I been calling NVC since i received the I-797 Notice. But Finally today i called the NVC again and i already have case no... yahoo.. thank god. I thought i had to wait for 90 days.... Good luck to everyone.... Try calling NVC everytime day. That's what i did....

Wow! I feel like its just who wasn't approved yet! This process is killing me so much! I'm tired waiting and calling USCIS will tell you you are still in the normal processing time..

Congrats, Ginger!!!

Metro, I'll still be at the NVC by the time you get there. (waiting on 1 document). It's so unfair that you haven't received your NOA2 yet.... Maybe I need to bring in another bucket of Irish luck???

congrats

Don't worry! Things are really slow at the NVC because of so many people getting approval. So when you get there, it will be much faster. Hopefully soon!

Hi guys, I'm writing this from my phone as I'm sitting outside the clinci about to get my medical!!!

I'm seeing Dr Charles O at 10am and I'm an hour early!!! Eeee!!!

hey how do i know that my case was touched or how do people know that when was there case was touched please let me know all i can see is the case status at uscis website i dont see anything else

Did you register your case? If not. please register first

https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/registercustomer.jsp

afterwards, you can see the Last Updated column, if the date change, thats the time that they touched your case. Hope this helps!

i m sure u r the next , best of luck metro

metro, i feel for you, i really do.. i hope you get notification soon!!!

in other news.. i had my medical.. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=218704 here is the thread i created showing what happened, if anyone is interested.

metro, i am crossing my fingers for you!! good luck for NOA2 very soon!!!

finally, a case number was emailed to my email addy. that's after 3 weeks though. i didn't call them or anything. hehehe

Hi,

If you didn't call them, how did they know your email address? Did they send it to your USCIS e-add? does it mean that if we register our case on USCIS website, no need to call NVC to give our e-add? Please advise.

By the way, did you try to check in USCIS site if your case was touched after your NOA2?

Thanks a lot pogi!



btw, congrats! i was so excited to ask questions..

Hey guys,

I just called NVC and they assigned case numbers to my partents files. I have both case numbers, I already provided my email to them. Then I asked oprater If she can give me Invoice ID number, she said no she dont have access and will send me via email in next 2 to 4 weeks.

I am going to call again to get IIN number... I am not sure if they will send me via email...


Good Luck everyone
IT.

IT, you cannot get the IIN by asking an operator.

Ya You are right, Thanks for info.

Hello guys!!!! Hope you guys are having a great time!!!! I can see that they are now approving those July filers and happy for them and still breaking my heart cause it is taking so long for us to move forward.

For my VJers family especially K, Julie, Donna, IT and for all of those who understand how i feel right now, I want to thank you all for the support and courage you are giving me. I really appreciate everything guys! My husband will be in the Philippines next month and with my health condition (PCOS) Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome it is more tough to be away from him. In his visit, we are hoping that we will have our first baby and with my health condition, it will be difficult for me to conceive if I am experiencing of stress and depression. Ladies, this might be a bit dramatic but I decided not to check and visit Visa Journey until we had our NOA2 or maybe until I get pregnant.

As soon as you saw metro420's post, it might be pregnancy or approval or maybe both..

For those who are in NVC process, goodluck and hope you will have smooth journey. For those who will be approved soon, please accept my advance CONGRATULATIONS...

Again, K, Julie, Donna and the others, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!!! I will miss you and Goodluck to all of you!!!

metro, we will miss you, but your health is the number 1 priority. take care of yourself and enjoy your time with your husband. i had to take a break from posting on VJ also when we were waiting on our NOA2. it can be very frustrating. good luck, and cannot wait until you post the good news

metro good luck for ur both cases

I wish you so much health and love metro!

Honestly I know PCOS is difficult, my good friend has it.. And struggled through two miscarriages but just the other day celebrated her beautiful babys 2nd birthday.

Good things will come to you xxx

when they sent me the invoice for the aos, there's a pdf file attached to that email, and in that attached file says "invoice ID number", is that the IIN??? because i didn't ask for the IIN or anything but i like i said, on that invoice says invoice id number.

actually they sent me 2 emails. one is ds3032 and the other is aos invoice (although the aos invoice also has the ds3032 included).

ops sorry for being misleading. i didn't know that wife (beneficiary) called nvc. she told me that after three weeks of being approved she decided to call once to see whether they assigned us the case number. i think this was a few days ago. the operator told her "no" and then the operator asked for our email address then that's about it. after 2 days, (yesterday), there we got 2 emails. one for ds3032, another is AOS invoice (which has the IIN, i think).

it's emailed as pdf like this:

NVC Case Number: xxx##########
AOS Invoice for: LAST NAME, FIRST NAME (name of petitioner)
Invoice Date: September 17, 2009
Amount Due: $70.00
Invoice ID Number: ######## (i wonder if this is the IIN they are talking about???)

Thanks for info. I did asked for invoice ID number, Just when i posted VJ I mentioned IIN.

Hello Metro420,

I know waiting and seeing others approvels are difficult, when own case is still pending. But hopefully you will be getting your approvel very soon. Just try to relax and keep your hope alive. My prayer for you and Goodluck with everything. Wish you best of luck

Hi Donna,
I got questions for you about calling NVC. It's been like 16 days after we got NOA2. We haven't heard from NVC yet..make me sick now...anyway, here you go!
1. I dont really know where to call them, what no.? I tried to look at the NVC page..I didn't find anything.
2. What kind of information that I have to tell the operator? Reciept no. from USCIS?
Well, thank you a lot for you kidness..
Regards,
Natt

Hello Natt141,

You can call NVC @ (603) 334-0700, you need ur USCIS number. when you call NVC to speak with an officer option 5, or AVR system 1,1 and 1 if CSC then press 4.

thanks,
IT.

Yeah what IT said.

I got my number from the automated phone line.

I didn't get the operator to tell me, but when I have spoken to the operators, they tell you what information they need.... Just call them.

Hi IT and Donna,
Thanks alot.. I will try to call them on Monday night here...
Have a great week!
natt

Wow, they finally fixed the bug on the USCIS website, FIRST TIME since June (when we got our case number) that we can check our status online !

Seems our case has been touched on the 18th, still no NOA2 in the mailbox though. I still kinda dont understand why they dont treat cases in order, it's cool some ppl have their case completed fast but so heartbreaking to see ppl filing after u getting their NOA2 when u still have no news on ur own case.
Hope to get ours soon and that process gets smooth for all.

Hey Guys,

I just checked USCIS site and now they have new site and page. Login to check your case on USCIS. I think will give you bit more information. now thru tab you can see where your case is standing....

Thanks,
IT.

Hi Everyone,

Finally! got my NVC Case Number. My case was assigned last Sept 18. Will call them first thing in the morning tomorrow to give them our e-add...
Thanks and have a great day ahead!

congrats on that. =)

hi, how did you checked that you have case number?

Called NVC and check on the AVR, 603-334-0700 then follow the procedure.


Hi,

Is there anyone here who had petition 2 or more beneficiaries (separate I-130)? Such as both parents, parent & wife.. etc.. Just badly needed your assistance on filling up I-864.

Thanks a lot!
