CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I just got my approval email today too. Idiots-I was approved a month ago. They still have their heads up their asses!

Thanks. Yes, Darren had his medical this past Friday and after filling out 5 forms asking for the same information all went well.

I still haven't gotten a interview date!!! I can't believe being this close and they still find a way to drag it out. I am starting to stress about it. Why so long?? They processed and approved the packet 3 so all should be ok.

GOOD LUCK TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!! We will all be sending good thoughts your way!

Maybe give them a call, to see what's going on? It can't hurt, maybe?

Wow. It is hard to believe that you are having your interview tomorrow. Best of luck Mirla! Stay calm and confident and you will be fine.

I hope this is it for YOU!!!

smell like NOA2

I call NVC every day for an update. They keep telling me the embassy hasn't scheduled the interview date yet. You can't call the embassy directly.

Oh thanks.......I am surprised you did not hear the scream of joy from Virginia.......I am so happy Now Ric, Charlene and Virgil are in need of there NOA2 NOW

Ohhh Ric you gave me goose bumps...........It is so about time............We all want to do the happy dance for you

O.K.......Mirla.....we know it will go really good for you tomorrow......I will be waiting for new tomorrow


I got touched again.....3rd time since the approval........hmmm......I waited months for one now I have many


So what should I do now???????....do they contact me from NVC or must I contact them????

I think procedure is call nvc 1-603-334-0700 press 1, then 5 open til midnight, but don't use automated system it doesn't have k1 info. or call state dept 1-202-663-1225 press one then zero. open til 430 or so

We are in the same boat...we are waiting for an interview...Have been since Jan 24th. I don't look for us to have one till March. Then the dreaded AP wait...and seems those with age differences having met on internet going through Cairo get held up the longest in AP. 8-12 months is the average now AFTER the interview. There has to be a better way to do this. But........

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU APPROVED WITH NOA2'S.......

MIRLA...GOOD LUCK

LORA.......ABOUT TIME GIRL.............

Waiting to see the rest of you get yours to. I read...but haven't been posting as much...Just all of you take care...you are all in my prayers...hang in there...the end is in sight....

Faith

Call DOS or NVC...they can give you your NEW case number...and tell you what date your package was sent to the Embassy. Then they are able to also provide follow up. Such as when the embassy recieves it. Once the embassy recieves it..NVC has not been able to give more information....now DOS does...so once the embassy gets it...call DOS. They can then tell you when the embassy has cleared your file (after getting packet 3) and that its waiting for interview date. Once an interview date is scheduled either can tell you that date....I still get bad information. Like many here have said that they called NVC to find out the interview date..but I was told they cant give that information...but DOS does...who knows...im still in that black void of bad information..doesn't seem to EVER clear up at ANY stage...just stay proactive..and good luck.

oh my goodness, i wonder how mirla is doing right now!!!!!!

Me too but im sure she will come back with great news

I think Mirla will do great.......I met her in person last week in Lima and she is bright articulate and very sweet.........I can not imagine that she will not be in New York by Friday................Yeah

Syl.......welcome to the Commonwealth of Virginia....on March 3rd.....Yeah...........I think you will love it here........I am hoping Oscar will too......It is a lot different from Peru.....but it will be almost Spring.........Virginia is beautiful in Spring.....

Thank you so much Lora, i am sure i will love it because i will finally be with Mel. Where in VA do you live at? We gone be in Norfolk.

I have tried all morning to contact NVC.....how soon is really to soon to check?........Am I being impatient?....It was just approved on Friday.......

I live in Bristow about 30 miles outside of Washington, d.c.............about 2 hours north of you......straight up I64 then I95....we go right by you to the beach every summer

Just wondering...is the only way to get your case number to wait for the NOA1? Or is there another way I am not sure of?

It is a little soon, but it should arrive this week.

Wow, thats great it will be easy for us to meet




Once the check is cashed you can get the case number from the back of it.

If you pay by check the number is stamped on the back of the check when it is deposited. A lot of banks provide an image of the front and back of the check that can be seen with online banking. This is usually faster than waiting for the NOA1 to arrive.

Quick question: I received package 3 today and saw that of form DS-230 I got only part I, no part II....

how come, was that changed? Any ideas? The forms they've sent me expired last year, should I go ahead and download the forms on VJ? Any suggestions??

Congrats.......I hope the rest of your journey is swift and happy......Lora and Oscar

For some consulates they require that the beneficiary return part 1 in order to get an interview date and part 2 is brought to the interview.

Congratulations!

congratulations

Maybe I should have added: ... based on VSC's history of getting the packages to NVC promptly. We all know that there are no guarantees when it comes to USCIS, but I think the chances are good that it will arrive at NVC this week.

Good luck!

Thanks everybody for all the support!
It has been a crazy day and my head is spinning...

Wonder how Mirla did on her interview... no word yet?

Hopefully she is out celebrating!!

Even though the forms 'expired' they are probably still good as they haven't been updated. You can go to uscis.gov and check the forms list or DOS website. On the uscis site it shows dates of forms still accepted on the list.

I got touched on 2/3 like Ric Guess ours we're under the same desk Guess I'll get an rfe the way this has been going (and they probably will try to find an excuse since I used the ombudsman)

Oh Virgil....hang on......It is coming for both you and Ric

YES!!!!!! WE GOT A TOUCH TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE WERE UNDER THERE WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!

I hope all the recent touches result in approvals!!!!

PEOPLEEEEEE!!! OUR VISA WAS APPROVED!!!!!!! I'M LEAVING THIS FRIDAY!!!!!!

Congratulations!!!!!!

Congratulations!

OMG AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations!!!!

This is just AWESOME news y'all!!!! I smell an approval right around the corner

Congratulations!
