It will take several days for the number to show on CEAC. I had the same problem and so did Travis. You can call again, but it is normal. I think mine too about two or three days and I only saw updates in my evening time.

Yes, for some you can see your status at NVC, and IN TRANSIT, and then for some others you won't see anything until the package hits the Embassy and they put it into thier system. If you want to call back in a few days and see if they sent it out to the Embassy, then you can track it using DHL. Amhara or I can show you how to do that.

I sent in my file on March 2 and the NOA came about a week later and the file was sent to TEXAS. I can't believe the slow processing times in Texas when California has such great results. My file has stayed in Texas. Does anyone know if they will transfer the file at any point?

Unfortunately, the whole "work transfer" that USCIS announced back in early March was not what we all thought it would be. Turns out, they are randomly forwarding cases from states that would have gone to TSC to CSC instead. While I think the majority of new cases are going to CSC, not all of them are.

It's going to be a dumpy ride - I'm sorry. But I check the Igor List frequently, and TSC seems to be approving about 6 K-1 petitions a week whereas before, it was barely moving. I think they are getting their act in gear, but still doesn't compare to the awful discrepancy.

Btw, I love your username!! Do you speak Spanish fluently?

Did that on May 18th and on May 19th it was delivered. But embassy says that they do not have it :(

I am waiting for our embassy to confirm if they have checked again or not. If they don't check or if they can't find it, I will place a inquiry to NVC. I know that I can call or there is an email address. I will probably send an email so I can attach the shipping documents. Then that way DOS can tell DOS that they have the petition! You may want to try that too?

TravandLhen and Amhara :goofy:

I forgot to tell you, along with the case number I got, the lady also gave me an INVOICE ID. what is the INVOICE ID for?

About DHL tracking, I'd appreciate it very much if you teach me how to do that.

Am really grateful about the help I get from you guys! I hope I will be able to help others in the future when I get a good grasp of all these!

My data for Igor's list is showing some acceleration. My data since I filed in March estimates 152 Igor Lists were approved in March, 158 in April and 180 in May. My average has been about 162 per month for the time frame of March 5-May 30.

I am hoping an acceleration in TSC with less applications in Nov-March actually speeds the waiting days up. Again this is Igor data and its constantly changing. I am hopeful we drop below 200 days for TSC waiting but we will see.

K-1 Journey

2/27/2015: Sent I-129F to Black Hole in Texas:
3/13/2015 NOA1 Received by snail mail:
8/18 2015 ; NOA2 APPROVED. Perfect timing since Linh's current B1/B2 visa stay expires in 3 days and heads back to Vietnam
8/24/2015: NOA2 Shipped to Department of State (DOS) - National Visa Center (NVC)
9/1/2015: NVC Received NOA2 Package and have assigned a Case Number!
9/22/2015: Received PKT3... Finally..... Can now make appointment for Medical Examination
9/28/2015: Medical Exam - Took 3 days... Cho Ray is a mess. Vaccinations delayed until passing Interview because of shortage of vaccinations in Vietnam
10/7/2015: Interview at Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City and APPROVED!!!!
10/22/2015 K1 Visa in hand. Son's K2 visa only valid for 6 months (W-T-F-?) Thought good for 1 year. Inquire at consulate and told visa good only as long as the medical which is 6 months K2 VISAS NOT GOOD FOR 1 YEAR AS ADVERTISED ON DOS WEBSITE!
10/29/2015 POE Chicago; Easiest pass through for Linh in her 4 previous entries.
11/2/2015: Not tuned in enough to Social Security not to pick "the first day of the month" to try to get signed up. Read VJ advice, it's spot on, we had a processor who knew K1. We were in the SAVE database in 3 days so it was easy after a 2 hour wait.
11/21/2015: MARRIED IN GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK

AOS/AP/EAD Journey for Wife on K-1 Visa

12/8/2015 Completed 4 days of torture to get Vaccine Verification from Civil Surgeon

1/6/2016 Biometric Appointment Walk IN - DONE

1/14/2016 Received a I-797C letter dated 1/9/2016 that we DO NOT need to do biometrics, already have enough information in the system from previous entries (Likely from B1/B2 visa last year)

2/9/2016 I-765 EAD DENIED But... a minute later....

2/9/2016 I-485 Application CARD ORDERED on 2/6/2016

2/10/2016 GREEN CARD SHIPPED on 2/9/2016 2/11/2016 GREEN CARD IN HAND!!! RECORD TIME 62 DAYS

AOS/AP/EAD Journey for Son on K-2 Visa

5/25/2016 Walk in for a "junior" Biometrics for an 11 year old (supposedly not required). Oops wrote down the wrong day, appointment was for 5/23/2016. USCIS office was nice and accepted us 2 days late.

7/15/2016 Card for EAD mailed. Card is for both EAD and AP. Received 7/19/2016. Waiting now for AOS Interview or Green Card Approval

7/19/2016 The USCIS.GOV is now working for our AOS application. Is there light at the end of the tunnel? Seems others have access to USCIS.GOV Check Case now. Glitch fixed?

8/15/2016 I-485 Approved. Status now Card/Document Production

8/20/2016 GREEN CARD DELIVERED -118 Days K-2 Process complete, see y'all on Lifting Conditions board in a year or so
