Btw, how is your process @Naes ? Things went smooth after noa2? 

Waiting for the NVC case number (day 10 today) but I learnt there’s no date available for interview till June 18 as of today... so I’m chill as I can’t do anything anyway hehe

Everyone is one step to panic, but I know that this forms are slightly different from case to case. I was helping my parents for b1/b2 and we got some different things even tho they had very similar history. But I'm just worried about going back to the 11 years old thing. From what you have seen the right thing to do is to fill again and take the new confirmation number/bar code to the interview? 

Yes as far as I’ve seen. 

 

You can always send the embassy an inquiry about it.

Nice to know, we did. I'm waiting what they will say. But it's always nice to share here and hear from real experiences

Hopefully Monday is the day!

 

At least I’m going to Turkey  

it was too long of a wait to sit around and wait for the interview

Has anyone had any luck getting an earlier interview date due to a cancellation or something?

I was able to reschedule mine  I'm not sure of the reason though. At first, only May 17th was available. A few days later, I saw interview dates as early as April 12th. So it helps to check. Please keep in mind though that at least for me, the website told me I'm only able to reschedule once.

Is there anyone who has an insight of how the sending process works from NOA2 to NVC?

It doesn't make much sense to me that cases with a later approval date have been received by NVC before ours.

3 weeks of waiting so far for them to receive it, and I'm not going to lie, it's getting frustrating for us.

I'm just wondering what our petition all has to go through before it arrives there.

I feel like it's taking a trip around the world or something lol

I think the answer is that there is no rhyme or reason to any of it at any point in this whole process!! We were 2 weeks to nvc, 24 hours from case number to ‘in transit’ and then another 2 weeks in transit before it was ready.  It was incredibly frustrating but some people go through all of this really fast only to then find no interview dates available till June like @Naes I’m trying to just think of it all as some great big test of our patience and that we will be rewarded big time once we get to be with our loved ones!! Hang in there love xxx

No one can say with any certainty why your case is taking longer then someone else's. Not all cases are adjudicated within the same time frame. Each of you have to have background checks and depending on the speed in which that takes places your file moves along the approval path. This is a journey of patience. Those that have more of it will seem to fair better then those who do not.
