well actually...It says somewehere on this post or another one ( I saw it tho lol ) that you can via CSC RFE trick but I am not sure of how that works and plus only the petitionner can call them

patience is a big word when we are waiting on something we dont have any control over loll

good luck to you

Called NVC around 6:15 pm eastern and the lady said that they just received and entered our case into the system. she was amazed at how quickly i called after it got put in, she said if i'd called half an hour earlier she would not have seen it. told me to call back on friday and to see if got sent out. also told me i'd be getting a letter after they sent it confirming that it got sent out.

this seems like a common thing at NVC, cases not getting put in til very late in the day.

anyway, stoked things are moving along and i wish everyone still waiting a speedy approval!

IgorElin, Mox, Bablesgirl and all experts here: I need some advice from you as I am preparing for final interview and packet 4.

1. Should I send the original approval notice to my fiancee? Attorney sent me and her scanned copy of the original approval notice. My attorney is saying print out of that scanned copy is fine.

2. How old can the passport size pictures of her be in packet 3/4. She took some few pictures couple of months ago and wants to send the same pictures in packet 3 and packet 4. Is that OK? I am making sure consulate doesn't reject her pictures because it's not in few weeks.

As always, greatly appreciate your help,

1. Don't send the original approval notice. You will need that to file for AOS when the time comes.

2. As long as she hasn't changed her look much those pictures should be fine.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I was kind of surprised to read that one should NOT send the original NOA2. I have only heard that it is absolutely necessary to have the NOA2 at the interview. What am I missing?

Thanks....and congrats to everyone as this process continues to develop

Just called NVC this evening. Was able to finally get through the lines after calling 20 times.

My case has already left NVC today. Looks like things are going well.

Finally got through to NVC but there is nothing in the system. Maybe I'll give them a ring Friday and it will either be a great or a not so great start to my 1 week spring break vacation.

"Your case is not in our system yet" -- ive been getting this answer for 3weeks now

and if im lucky, before i even say "ok" to the person i talked to at NVC, he/she hanged up the phone

greatgate and george and aaiz I hope yours gets entered in soon. Do what I did and pester them everyday. Your both on or close to my NOA2 date so you should have it soon.

Hi Mo Mati. On the official guide here on VJ it says... "6. A copy of the NOA2 that you received in the mail." I believe what you heard is that it is absolutely necessary to have the NOA2 at the AOS interview. Again, I could be wrong since I haven't gone through this part yet, so someone correct me if I am.

I searched DHL and our package arrived at the consulate on Feb 8th. I'm waiting for something to come from the consulate. Nothing has arrived yet. I am trying to be patient. Does anyone have a timeline on when to expect pakcet 3? thanks everyone.

hey guys, is it ok if I print out the forms DS-230 part I and II and DS-156 and DS-156K and fill them out or do I have to wait untill my fiancee gets packet 3?

[nica19 0]

As for the DS-156 i think you can just fill it out online and then print it anytime. I thought that i read somewhere that when you fill it out online all you are doing is generating a barcode that you can then print out. There is a portion on the bottom of the form if someone other than the beneficiary is filling it out, i would assume you just put your name. then just get it to your fiance and have her sign it.

sound right? anyone?

I called NVC today again and after 13 days from NOA2 they still don't show any record of my case... I don't know what to do.. Should I call USCIS and ask them if they sent the petition out yet?
