NOA2 ~ NVC ~ Embassy: TSC January 2015 filers

[CharlieTanger 76]

Not necessarily, it's still a couple weeks away. Plus it can take up to 5 days for the results to get to the embassy. Based on timelines there's more than enough time and plenty people have booked their medical once they get their case numbers. Appointments are also going fast at the doctors.

An ok, thanks. Now at least I know. Did it take you long to get through over the phone?

I rang on Thursday, around 1pm BST and got straight through, the nice lady I spoke to told me they received my case the day before and told me to call back the next day to see if a case number had been assigned. I spent a total of 50 minutes on the phone this morning, finishing just after 1pm BST and I had my case number. It wasn't showing up on CEAC until a few hours ago though, so you may need to give that a little time to get on the system.

I'm the beneficiary too and had no trouble getting our case number. Just needed to confirm some details

so.. while we're waiting.. how did you guys meet your fiancé(e)s?

I met mine online, five years ago, on a random chat site. We had always liked each other but were both hesitant to start dating without seeing each other. We finally met up in person in the summer last year and decided pretty much then that we were meant for each other. We said I love you a few days after we first met. hahah:)

We met, during Carnival 2013, at a party in our village in the Commonwealth of Dominica where my family is from. My cousin and I were hanging out and he was introducing me to his guy friends, so he could go drink his Guinness in peace without me hanging around and look cool while doing it, lol.

My now-fiance's cousin was throwing the party since they both DJ, but he told me later that he wasn't even going to come, but they made him show up. I just remember this guy kept staring at me and smiling really big while doing a two step (he doesn't like dancing). I don't know how I don't remember this, but he said he gave me and my cousin a ride home since our family's house is up a steep hill---it was late and I guess I was really tired, hahah!

We texted and Facebooked back and forth throughout 2013 (we hung out more when I went back with my mother for Christmas 2013/New Years 2014) and then phone calls/WhatsApp/emails everyday since January 2014 and when I went back for the World Creole Music Festival in Oct/Nov 2014, he asked me to marry him during our country's independence celebrations in November 2014.

[trublubu2 62]

thanks @bloopygirl.

we still need to get our plane tickets together, pay the DS-160 fee, book a hotel, take leave from work, and get the interview date scheduled, and we want to do it in late august (because there are only a few tickets left to barbados under $500) and ALL of this is why i was tearing my hair out over the AP slacking for 5+ weeks at NVC.

BGN embassy has no medical schedule; it's first come, first serve beginning at 8am...i wonder if that's a chaotic scene...juuust a little, lol

And the interview is in forty days... gotta book our flights to Montreal soon.

On the USCIS site, after it says "we sent your file to the department of state," it won't update on there anymore. You have to call the NVC to get the new case number. Then you can put that new number into the CEAC tracker, and that will tell you when the NVC sends it to the consulate ("in transit") and when it arrives ("ready")

When we get new case number it will be mail to the petitioner?
