My fiance and I are just beginning to lose our patience. It's been a year already since we saw each other and it comes to the point where he would prefer that we wait for an approval before I make my next trip so we could celebrate together.. So I called today and I was told that they are working on January 16th. I just wanted to share that with you guys because at least there is progress on their side as well and they didn't say January 9th as they were saying before. But I was told to give them 15 days before calling back. I am not sure I'll be able to do so but we will see. :unsure:

Please save me from having to read 110 pages of this thread.

I filed and received an NOA1 on February 7th. We are being processed in California. I expected an NOA2 a few weeks ago. Are they just at the middle of January?

Thanks,

I don't mean to be short, but posting that negativity gets old. Frankly I or anyone else on this forum doesn't need your theories about our petitions not getting done until September. Please use your

Does anyone know if they are hiring or are at least willing to accept volunteers at VSC? Because I will glady help out for free if they need more people...

Thanks. I thought so! The whole idea of having to put in a "service request" is absurd, anyway. I "requested" your services when I filed the damn application. And you agreed to provide that service w

There is no NVC thread for K-1 visa filers, since they pretty much don't do anything regarding our cases at NVC. They are just like a portal. They get the approved cases from USCIS, sort them and send them to the consulates. If you want to know the status of your case, you just have to call NVC everyday. They will tell you once they send your application to the consulate. After that you can track your package on DHL website to see when the embassy receives your application (NVC won't give you a tracking code, you have to find it yourself :D use this thread : NVC to Embassy )

Hang in there, the NVC stage should take only a few days :thumbs:

Thanks Soheil. Hm no wonder there is not much thread here about K1 NVC stage here. So once I got the case number, I should call them again next day huh?

Hope I will hear a good news in a few days then.

There is really no rule...many members advise you to even not call the NVC at the first place and just wait till the consulate contacts you. It all depends on you. The impatient me called them everyday for the past two weeks until today that I've been told that our case has been sent to the embassy. But, that's just me :whistle:

thank you so much, guys!! I really-really wish all of you getting your approvals in next couple of days.

Before going to sleep last night, I checked USCIS website. There were no updates. I said to myself, "of course there is nothing. We are at VSC!!! get real girl.." and went to sleep. Only to be waken up in a little more than one hour by my fiancé's text message telling me that we were approved :) He said that he received the text message about approval at exactly 5pm EST.

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you all! (F)

I was feeling pretty lonely being a feb filer at CSC and still waiting for my approval, but it's nice to know I'm not the only one... Which, come to think of it, it is actually pretty **** of me to be happy that some of you haven't gotten your approvals. So, sorry about that.
