Hey everyone. I dont post on here very often but Iv been lurking around and reading this board and keeping track of approvals most days just in order to keep myself sane through this process.

 

If it helps anyone to know, my case has FINALLY been approved. on day 148. My USC fiance called in on the 31st and after hearing the same lines again from tier 1, he demanded to speak to tier 2 (apparently you have to say the words 'I demand to speak to tier 2' as though its a secret password or something). After speaking to tier 2, he was informed that we had been listed as approved on their systems as of an hour ago. The next day the online tracker shows as approved on 1st Sept.

 

There are no words for how relieved we both feel that our petition hadn't somehow gotten lost down the back of a bookshelf somewhere! 

 

Congratulations to everyone else who has received their NOA2 and Good luck to everyone still waiting.

 

Any advice on what the next step is now?

Congratulations!

Congrats!!!

Start calling NVC tomorrow, every few days to get your LND number.  You need that.

 

When you get your LND number, use this website to track it.......

https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx

 

Be sure to click on 'PORTALS' above to get to your specific embassy information.  After NVC, everything is Embassy specific.

 

Work with other VJ members to get specifics, such as medical appt info, etc.  If you don't have your police clearance yet, get that going while you are waiting for the NVC number, it takes some time to get it.  Here is a finish line VJ member who just had POE the end of August.  His profile has a lot of useful information.  http://www.visajourney.com/forums/profile/260159-trilobyte/content/  Message him if you have any questions, he's a great help.

 

Also, another VJ member who also just got approved is @Missabc - She is nice and will help you with next steps as well.  I think she is still at the NVC like you.

 wishes of  beautiful years at school , to enjoy learning, have excellent friends for life  for your daughter! we wish that you are always proud of your child !

Thanks

 

Was hoping this process wouldnt have been too long where I would have to start her in school here then yank her out to start school there, but I guess it worked out because she will have classroom experience and I can get past this nervous wreck stage. Praying that she transitions well.

Everytime I see your post I think of my hopes to make it to Panorama in February.

Hopefully we will have Advance Parole setup by then so we can go.

I love steel bands and have been wanting to make it to POS to see the Finals.  I'd be happy to go to Semi FInals lol   Have you ever gone to this?   Wondering if it is as good as I think it would be

Hi! How's your medical? How many days have you finished your medical? I've heard it others took only a day for the medical exam and result.

For what I've read around here and even at the London US Embassy website, yep, you can now send the Notification of Applicant Readiness

Yep, once it's 'ready' and you've booked your medical you can continue by submitting the readiness form and then booking your interview! 

Can I ask what dates were available still when you called? I really wanted to get my medical done on the 21/22 if I can. Are they quite flexible or do they give you strict appointment dates to choose from?
