here's another approval announcement which I saw in another thread!

Petition sent to VSC 07/26 NOA2 12/06!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Thanks for the info. But who is it? It is helpful to know the member's name so that people know if this is an approval of which they are already aware.
Bill y Bella
Here is a new one that was reported late. She just found out today when she opened the envelope from USCIS that had been in her house for at least a day and maybe more. wacko.gif

Dariusz & Sandra (Sunsi) Sent 7-23. NOA1 7-31. Approved 12-3.

That makes 19 for the week and the month not including the 2 that have still not updated their timelines.

I have just recieved an email saying

On December 6, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.

But i cant check the online case since they are having matience problems. Does this mean everything is approved and that i do not have to mail back any additional information? I did not recieve any mail in the postal yet, just this email.

I was just curious if step 1 is complete?? Whats next now??

Hey guys (directed mainly at Bill I suppose),

I got a letter from NVC that gave me our case number and said blah blah in about a week your petition will be forwarded. This was 2 days ago. I, of course, called on...Wednesday, I believe, and was told it had already left. Hm.

My main concern however, is that they misspelled my fiancee's last name on this form. On both NOA1 and NOA2, her name is correct.

If I were to call DOS, could they tell me

1) If it's made it to London yet

2) If her name being misprinted on this letter is a problem

3) If it is, can they fix it?

On every document but this, her name is spelled right. I'd like to think that this letter is rather meaningless to the whole process but I'd like to know for certain before I assume it is and then find out "oh crap that's a problem" when she gets to, say, the interview.

1) If it's made it to London yet. They can tell you the status of your petition once the embassy enters the receipt of your petition in the system.

2) If her name being misprinted on this letter is a problem.

3) If it is, can they fix it?

I don't know the answers to your questions except the first one. I think your best bet is to just call DOS and ask them. I doubt if the incorrect spelling on the letter will cause any problems since your I-129F, NOA1 & NOA2 all have the correct spelling. However, one never knows for certain so it might not be a bad idea to touch base with DOS or NVC.

That is a new one for most of us I think. They also have not updated their timeline yet. That makes 3 this month that were approved and never updated their timeline. sad.gif I saw you asked them to update so maybe they will get the message.

I would send NVC an email and call them. They usually take about a week to respond to emails. That way you will have something in writting.

I read something somewhere before that said if there was a name problem after USCIS to contact NVC and the servicing American embassy.

Good luck...you'll get them straightened out.

The thing is, I don't believe there is a true name problem. Like I said, all the 'official' documents have her correct name on them...

Understand, but somewhere in some system they have the name spelled wrong, so it is the same issue to get to the bottom of it. They didn't hand write you the letter did they? Ok then, there is a database that is incorrect somewhere and I would nip it in the bud before it has a chance to bite you later.

I sent an email to NVC just now. Hopefully they won't take too long to get back to me.

By the way there were a lot of approvals announced today. There are too many to announce so you can look for yourselves here.

The month's total is now up to 23 or maybe 22 because I think A&K and K&A are the same member. But 22 is not so bad! smile.gif

Im dancing.... kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif Ok, lets see if we can make it to the same interview. There are three of us. One was approved for Cairo the day before me...I THINK her petition will get to Cairo tomorrow. Melinda, Monday or Tuesday call DOS or the NVC number...make sure they get your petition..ask for the new case number. I did email Cairo...and believe it or not GOT AN ANSWER this morning...I was shocked at the fast turn around time. WOW. Impressed. I can also show you a thread that was written on how to track your petition in DHL...till it gets to Cairo. There is a package on the way right now..that may be the other girls..or both hers and mine...Im not sure..will know tomorrow when DOS/NVC is open again. Cairo will NOT send out packet 3 or schedule and interview till they get the petition. I pulled some numbers....60% of the K visas are approved within 6 months with the majority approved in 3 months or less. (thats since May.) April they had a few that are STILL in AP...and there are 2 or 3 (1 K1 and the rest K3) that have been in over a year...but dont you listen to anyone there in that forum IF you go there....every case is different....

For now girl...LETS CELEBRATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Told you it would come....hehehee...PRAISE GOD FOR HIS FAITHFULNESS. THANK YOU GOD FOR THIS APPROVAL.

Sun Sign: Taurus
Date Of Birth: May 9




Your Horoscope for DECEMBER 09, 2007

You are on the brink of something fantastic, Lora, so just hang in there a little bit longer. It could be that you feel like the little train engine who is slowly working her way up the mountain. Perhaps you have made compromises and sacrifices along the way in order to get where you are. Just keep going. Pretty soon you will top the crest, and the rest of the journey will be all downhill. The tremendous work you have put in will pay off generously.



At this point 190 days is gone by it better be a great reward..........Good to be home and back with you guys....they finally took my Iphone away... crying.gif crying.gif crying.gif

Hi everyone!

I just got back from a great weekend, I'm still catching up on all that happened biggrin.gif
Bill y Bella
Another one for last week announced today:

luba & mj (likenoother). Sent 6-25 NOA1 6-28. Approved 12-8.

That makes 24 for the week minus 1 for the possible double timeline for A&K / K&A plus 3 for the people who announced their approvals and did not update their timelines. (Waiting9, Lost in the Abyss, & Turtles). That brings the revised total to 26. blink.gif
Bill y Bella
First of the week:

Lily & Sidiq. Sent 7-25. NOA1 7-27 (I assume they entered the received date.) Approved today.

Their dates are the exact duplicates of mine. biggrin.gif
