Currently waiting for pack 4. As the NOA2 on the 22nd of September rather surprised us (online status is still showing received and pending) we only faxed the doc checklist in on the 6th of October. Still hoping to soon hear back and maybe still get an interview date for this month, would mean I can wrap things up here and move to the US by the end of December.

19 MAR 2008 - got engaged

08 MAY 2008 - NOA1

05 SEP 2008 - NOA2

22 SEP 2008 - Pack 3

10 OCT 2008 - Pack 4

16 OCT 2008 - medical in Hamburg

27 OCT 2008 - Interview in Frankfurt

29 DEC 2008 - Atlanta

Good Morning. Hope everyone is on their way to get visa. I've just spoke with embassy and they don't have anything for us :( They don't even have what Ana calls electronic thing.... Really upsetting!! :( She said to try back in TWO weeks. Anyone know normal timeline between NVC and Embassy having the case?

Thanks and good luck

Yevginey, I was approved 8 days before you. I called the call center on Tues. the 5th and got the interview date. It took about 4 minutes to schedule it all. You get 8 minutes when you purchase the calling card. For the $12 dollars for 8 minutes I was going to keep calling everyday but struck gold first try. First thing they asked was our KEV#. If it is not in the system, you will only use 30 seconds of time. At worst case you spend an extra $12 and can call everyday. You were approved 8 days after me, so you should be entered in next week. I know, in a perfect world. They are only a month out for interviews. Good luck.

My Clemson Tigers sucked last night. Well, there is always baseball.

Ana, I would start stalking the call center too.

Jen, Have a great weekend.

Nat, Maybe you were like me and approved and they were slow in letting me know. Keeping the faith for you.

Have a good weekend folks. I might go waterskiing, running out of the 80 degree weather.

Yevgeniy ... Our file got stuck at NVC for a couple of weeks. We had our approval the 10th of September, NVC received our case the 12th. Greg received 2 letters in the mail (post) dated the 17th that our case would be transferred to the Embassy within the week. That didn't happen! Last week I called the Embassy to ask what was up and they didn't receive anything, nothing electronic, no hardcopy ... Greg called the NVC, the file was still being processed there. I called back on Friday, still the same. Monday (Oct 6th) Greg called again and they said it was sent out that day. I tracked DHL if something was on it's way to the Embassy ... and yes a package was delivered yesterday. I called the Embassy again today, and there was still nothing in their electronic filing system, and she didn't have the hardcopy on the Consular Section yet. So we're experiencing kind of the same thing here. Everything in this process takes time, some people are lucky to have their case being processed fast and smooth through all the different stages, including a fastworking Embassy ... some of us need to be more patient. I'm still waiting for the P3, a month after our approval ... and all I can do is hope it'll be mailed out to me soon.

Anyway good luck and I hope you receive some good news soon :thumbs:

*sigh* No packet 4 yet...No word from Montreal yet at all, not even to the question of if I can print off another 156K:S You all are going to get to the US before me I think lol...slow people suck :blink:

Sandra - I know for Montreal they got my file on the 2nd, but I was told by other CDN's that they would not enter my file into the system until the 7th...I think there is always a few days hold up :)

Kirk - I will have an ok weekend - I have to work all of it, and it's the Thanksgiving weekend, so I'll have to have my turkey at work. I have my friend's bridal shower tomorrow, and a drink date on Sunday with friends. Do the boys have any games this weekend?

COngrats on your approval Rocks :)

Alex - I love animals too...I have 3 cats of my own, and my parents have a cat and a dog LOL..it's a zoo in here since I moved back :P I can' take the cats with me though - Bo has bad allergies :unsure:

Yev, Sandra is right, there can be a hold up at NVC, so don't worry too much about it :) Just keep checking back and they will have it soon

Sandra, I just admire your patience!!! Hopefully they'll input it in no time!

Alex, I love animals too. Can't wait to convince Dave that we need to have a little dog, not a big monster he's set on getting, lol ;) No news for us yet. I'm just staying busy by working a lot. At least am having a meet-up with my high school friends to distract me tmr :)

Yevgenij, I predict we'll be in by the end of next week. According to the experts waiting 1-2 weeks to appear in the system is normal. Did you call the pay line or immigration section?

Jenni, do you guys get Thanksgiving early or smth? :blink: Does that me you will celebrate TWO Thanksgivings and get twice the turkey, lol?

Alex, things are ok on my side. Just starting my final year of school so a long wait ahead. Nice to read stories like yours and others in in this thread. :)

I remember looking at these threads, waiting desperately to file but not having the cash. And now look! The K1 is over for most of you already!

hehe, Canadian Thanksgiving is always in October, and since turkey is one of my favorite foods, I will be celebrating both after I move :D I mean, who can refuse an excuse to make turkey eh? :D

Hey Ana, i called the payline and paid 12$. Spoke for probably around 8 min. The girl Virctoria wanted all of our information so she could send a "LETTER" to see about our case???????? Whatever i think she was just dragging time so i could pay again next time. Hopefully i have some $ left just to call and find out if we're in or not. Please let me know right away if you get put in the system. I'll do the same.

Have a great weekend everyone. Im out for the week.

~Sandra~ just try to last a little bit longer girl. Main priority is to make sure your "little box of moral excellence" doesn't become empty as you walk into the embassy :).

~Jenni~ you are so lucky!!! Hope Bo likes turkey just as much. I might try and get some turkey-baking advice from you later (that is if I make it to Orlando before Thanksgiving) :)

~Yevgenij~ I'll be sure to let you know!!! Hopefully next week we'll have our dates.

Alright team May, I'm going to bed now, so sweet dreams to everybody :)
