I totally understand!

Grahhh... but so strange. IF my NOA2 comes this week, I could theoretically be going to the medical in July still... then interview in August and still fly in September.
There's still hope for it to work.
My birthday is August 17th, and I was hoping to have the interview around that date. 
Actually I should try to schedule it ON that date, so they have to be mercyful. Haha!

I'm hoping to be in usa mid August/early September now 😁 Oooh yes that would be a great birthday surprise ☺

Yeah, me too! Early/middle September.
I have set my countdown app to Sept 15th, which would be in 79 days from now. That's actually insalenly soon.

My first moving box arrived on Saturday. 5 more to go, then I'm done mailing.
I was kind of sentimental yesterday, realizing that everything material I will have left from my 37, then 38 years of life are 6 boxes and a suitcase.

I've started giving my books away 😁 all I have left is thousands of 📀 sat on shelves, taking all my clothes, a few favourite books 📚 can't think what else 😁

My apartment is pretty empty already. I've sold like 100 pieces of clothing and small items on eBay since NOA1. 
6 boxes full of clothes, my favorite CD's, some mugs and plush dolls and of course my vinyls and signed stuff (and the giant pile of band t-shirts) are packed in 5 boxes so far. 1 already arrived, 1 left to fill up.

I'll start giving away furniture once NOA2 is here.

Plan is to live in my place like in a camp ground by August latest, so I can paint the walls and MAYBE be out by 31st of August. If my landlord lets me.
I need to inform her once NOA2 comes.... we've primarly agreed on end of September, but IF it goes smoothly from now on, I could make it out by end of August and save a month of rent.

It sucks not to have a date... but do you think my planned time schedule could make sense?

Hi and thanks to all that replied to my query regarding the rfe previously, sorry for late reply, I have limited internet connection.

 

By filing the petition We send pics with the date stamp and city name, we thought maybe we sent too many and they just want it simple. So now we will repeat those pics with date  stamp from vacation, and I found concert tickets and fotos with the date stamp, we made copy of the stamps in passports, and I have cinema premiere tickets and web site foto that might be good as a proof, i cant upload the foto but here is the link. Do you think screen shoot of two of us from web page from that event is ok to send, i mean it is public web page showing this event and we are on it

Hopefully once you get your NOA2 it's a smooth and speedy ride to your medical and embassy interview ☺ you can never really plan too much ahead with this process 😱 just take one step at a time

That's what I do... nothing is cancelled yet. I'm just trying to figure out a vague time frame.

I think you can add that, although I dare to assume that you'll be fine with the rest.

We've sent 8 together pics (7 selfies of us, 1 selfie with his parents) with date and place and appearing persons names, the copy of the stamps in my passport for the two travels, along with my boarding passes. 

Until now we're not approved, but also no RFE, so I hope that'll be enough. 

Fingers are crossed for you!

Passport stamps, airline tickets or boarding passes if you have them is a good idea. The screen shot of you two is a good idea as long as you can show the date it was published online. Maybe a translation of the online article is not a bad idea, just to give it some context. Best of luck!

I read somewhere for Australia that the average time from embassy receiving the packet to interview is between 10 and 28 days, but that they quote 1-2 months. So if you allow 3 weeks from NOA2 to NVC, 1 week NVC to embassy, then 4 weeks embassy to interview (in which time you get your medical done), and one week for passport to arrive from the embassy after the interview, you're looking at 9 weeks from NOA2 to having the visa in hand. Then its just a case of booking your flights.

 

Hope that helps you plan things out!

Maybe thisis a stupid question but how does VJ processing times have VSC working on April 2nd NOA1's and the CSC is in mid-March when all cases are supposed to be sent to CSC? 

 

Am I to think there's a lot of members who haven't changed or have the correct service center in their timeline? Or is the VSC really working them because they have a half month lead on the other 2 service centers.

92 days here. I don't know at this point if were a March or April filer, because my NOA1 was April 4th but the received date was March 28th. I suspect March only because our WAC number was in the March scans. But I don't know.

USCIS goes by receive date.
