My fiancee made it to Brisbane a few hours ago. We've just been spending time together and will probably take a nap in a few minutes since he hasn't gotten much sleep (we like to nap together on Skype.) In a few hours I have to go grocery shopping so when it's 8am here my time, it will be roughly 10pm 9/13 in Australia, and his medical is the next day at 10:45am in the morning. I don't know how long on average the medical goes for, but I know he will spend the entire day in Brisbane, and then he leaves Brisbane on the 15th to go back to his town. It's funny because by the time he gets back in his town, he will only get a few days before he will be leaving again to go to Sydney for the interview. Each day that passes makes me more and more exicted.
 

In the meantime while I was waiting to speak to him today, I was filling out our wedding invitations that I'm going to send out. We have so far 53 people to invite to our reception. I'm not sure if anyone else has ever done it like this, but how were doing it is were planning on getting married in October, but having the reception in November. I just feel it's easier that way. Since the court house here is closed on a Saturday and our reception is November 11th, we can't get married on that day. All the days available for the place where I'm booking our reception are unavailable, and mostly only available on Saturdays, but I don't mind this. I actually like it. Just means that both October and November will be extremely exciting. 

 

So I'm picking up like 60 stamps tomorrow to mail everyone their invitations since some are family I don't see face to face... just trying to make it easier. Plus I don't mind the cost. I'm just happy stuff is getting done. Then tomorrow when he is done at his medical, were gonna work on a menu for the caterer, even though we don't know the exact number of people who will show up yet, it's good to have a menu of what were gonna have at the reception. I have a DJ sorted out... and now that I'm thinking about everything right now, everything is just about perfect. It's just figuring out what day in October were gonna get married.
 

I hope you enjoyed my little ramble. This is just my way of staying organized lol. I can come back to this if I get confused or not sure about something. Just a place to have a peace of mind where I can write it here for the world to see. I did literally almost every school assingment this week, so I can also slack off and take some extra time to relax. Just busy, busy, busy. Can't wait to finally cuddle in his arms. 

I hope you guys have a good night, and sweet dreams. I'll talk to you all later. <3

Congrats on the progress. We can all PM you our addresses so you can invite us LOL

Zero approvals for VJ members date 9/12 yesterday and so far zero approvals for today NOA 2's for 9/13.

So my fiancé just got off the phone with a Tier 2. He asked all the questions, have our case been assigned to officer, are there any notes, have they done name check etc.. basically the lady (who btw was really helpful) said she could not see this info however she said that she would send an enquiry through to the CSC and that they need to give us an update within 15 days. Have anyone else heard of them doing this?

I guess the approvals for yesterday are coming by mail... Wishful thinking maybe? But sure the tracker updates being so inconsistent can be unnerving

That is correct given the information that we have. Maybe the tracker is not working and there will be surprises in the mail. I am sure the approved parties just have not told us yet 

Life and death are in the power of the tongue (Fingers too?). We speak (Type in this case) life and a flood of approvals from the CSC!

Our time is coming!

I like what somebody else put #LoveWins. Im not sure who it was but give credit to them for that lol

 

Good Luck!

NVC received my case 09/08 (NOA2 was 08/22). My fiancé has his medical tomorrow and we will schedule the interview as soon as Ns to NVC status changes to "ready." All needed documents were collected last week, when I was in Morocco. Does anyone know how long it takes for the status to change to ready?

I just got off of the phone and the rep refused to send me to a Tier 2 person and she kept me on and was basically convincing me that they do not give any information regarding where they are with the process. She said to me everything looks normal, and no news is good news and I can't trust information that does not come directly from USCIS. She said an enquiry cannot be sent until they are outside of the processing time and since my case was received on April 24th, they are still within the normal processing time. We will know the new processing date perhaps by the end of this week.. I give up trying to find out more information, they seem to be super tight lipped. She even said a Tier 2 person would not have this information for me! All that she said was that when they receive cases, they are not sitting around they are "processing"...

Oh dear... I give up.. I just told my fiance that I'm starting to feel really tired and deflated with this whole process..They all say different thing.. and it's not hard to be within the normal processing times when they keep changing them.. Basically my fiance said that the lady he spoke to called it an 'electronic inquiry request' and that we will hear something within 15 days. We basically have the same dates so I'm not sure they wouldn't do this in your case. Our case was received on the 24th too, however our notice day was the 3rd May.. can I ask what your last 4 case numbers are? 

[An&In 80]

Is the current processing time (5 months average) the longest the processing time has been for K-1? If it is then I am sure more people are calling asking for updates because of the new waiting time. If they receive more unwanted calls then they would stop giving out valuable/specific information so people would stop calling because they know they would not any updates. 

 

Food for though!

 

Good Luck!

I will message you the last 4 digits. They have told me they never changed their estimates because we can only go by the processing times on their website.  She said this is why they are unwilling to provide estimates because depending on the number of applications they receive, the number of applications processed per week (or month) will be different.

our case status took 3 days from IN TRANSIT /08 September)  to READY /11 September/ .. but 9, 10 - weekend, so it can take even 1 day, i guess...

It just seems like the immigration officers are very inconsistant, some people have success receiving more information and some don't. Unfortunately, I'm very unlucky it seems.
