Just got off the phone with the NVC.  They gave us our case number!  When the NVC employee pulled up our case file, he started to laugh and told me that they had processed our case 20 minutes before I called.  We are so happy to have our number!

 

Positive thoughts to everyone who is still waiting, especially the people who are still waiting on their NOA2.

Congrats! Monday we got our NVC # and already today we were able to schedule the interview. Things move faster, it seems, once you get on the other side. :D

I'm going to do another purge of "final" statuses next week. The current list is composed of about 25% of those, so it will free up slots to add more Dec. cases since we are starting to see a good chunk of them towards the end of the list. So much so that I likely missed a few in the totals today.

Wow, what an awesome day!  Happy for everyone who got approved today! :)

I just remembered that some people in this thread have been asking about a letter from the NVC.  I talked to a very friendly and helpful NVC employee tonight.  He said, "Just to let you know, a lot of people have been calling to ask about letters from the NVC.  You will not get anything from us.  We don't do that anymore.  Your next communication will be from the US embassy in Montreal."  So, if you have been wondering about a letter/calling to ask about a letter/thinking of calling to ask about a letter, apparently they no longer send them. :)

 

You can absolutely do this! I called and asked for a letter stating my partner's case number and IIN (invoice identification number) from the NVC. The very helpful woman on the phone said that these are not sent for K-1 visas, because they often don't stay at the NVC from complete receipt of the case to sending it to the embassy/consulate for very long (usually less than 5 days), so the system generated letters do NOT go out to people anymore. I asked if I could have one anyway, and she said yes. It arrived just about a week after I inquired, and was a letter saying, "This letter is in regards to inquiry regarding the following case" and had all the information I had asked for written down and very official looking!

I'm going to do another purge of "final" statuses next week. The current list is composed of about 25% of those, so it will free up slots to add more Dec. cases since we are starting to see a good chunk of them towards the end of the list. So much so that I likely missed a few in the totals today.

Best day ever!!! :D Though its still only 50% of touched cases getting approved, but the number of cases is great!

I guess they are picking up speed to meet their deadlines, and not paying too much attention to intricacies and hence so many RFEs...

possible Geo? :/
