Anyone know what the actual wait time has been for ppl to go from NOA2 to NVC?    Thanks!

Our NOA 2 was on 10/17.  NVC didn't receive until 11/14, and our case didn't get sent to the consulate until 12/11.  Nearly two months, but now we see the end in sight.  The waiting feels like forever, and you wonder why it's taking longer than average.  But remain hopeful and positive because one day when you look back on this it will be worth it.  The best use of the time is spent making sure you have everything possible ready for the next steps.  The worst thing that can happen is to finally get to the next step and find out you are missing something and have to wait because you overlooked something.  I doubt it means much, but I have noticed that people who have passed me in the process and got through the NVC quickly were all people who filed their I-129 well ahead of me.  So, you can't get upset when someone who filed theirs two or three months ahead of you moves through the NVC quicker than you.  I don't know that they give those priorities, but it didn't seem coincidental that our file sat while others with much earlier NOA1 dates moved on.  The process seems to balance itself out, so hopefully, the next part will move much quicker for you.

 

You are all in my thoughts and prayers and I'm hoping you will have good news before the end of the year.  Good luck and God bless!

Trusting the process and having patience is two attributes I preach day in and day out. Congratulations. I wish her safe travels and the two of you a happy life together. All the best.

 

Don't buy tickets till the visa is in her hands and that she has had time to look it over for spelling errors. It has happened a number of times at USEM this situation. Once everything is verified, BUY THAT TICKET!

Visa in hand, no errors, ticket booked!!!

Hi everyone, happy I found this forum, our priority day is April 13, 2018 and we haven’t received anything else beside the noa1 i called a month ago and they told me to wait for another 45 days for a response. This is what the email says The status of this service request is:

Thank you for your inquiry.  On 11/13/2018, you or your representative contacted USCIS concerning your I-129F to notify us that you believe your case is outside of our normal processing time. Below is a summary of what we found and how the issue has been or may be resolved. 

Your case is currently being adjudicated. You should receive a notice of action* within 45 days.

*A notice of action may be in a form of Approval Notice, Denial Notice, Transfer Notice , Request for Evidence, or Notice of Intent to Deny.

We hope this information is helpful and appreciate your continued patience.

 

I just want to know if anyone else is in the same boat, I feel we were left behind or something. The 45 days mark ends on dec 30th we are hoping for good news soon. Thanks everyone and Merry Christmas 🎄

CFO issues....

The lady that was assigned to her says she thinks she forgot her paper work at the Clark satellite office.  When she took the seminar she had told her she would not issue the certificate since there was no guarantee she would pass the interview. Now CFO May have misplaced the paperwork. We'll find out Wednesday at Clark.

That is a red flag for me. It means that the question that were asked of her she was unable to answer with conviction. If she is not confident in knowing you then she can be refused till such time as she can answer the CFO's questions. I think Hank has something on his website about this.

 

This is a little old but it is a good insight on what to expect.

Strange since I was there for the CFO and the only hang up came when she told the interviewer that I had full custody of my son. They wanted the entire divorce petition after that instead of just the judgment. Luckily iade sure we had almost anything they could have asked for. 

 

On the other hand the embassy interview didn't ask for anything. No divorce judgment, no AOS, just zipped through and approved.

CFO runs on it's own rules, which at times doesn't make sense, and since they control if you leave the country, regardless if you have a visa you need to do everything to please them. It's the screwiest operation I have ever encountered.

NOA1 4/30. I just received my NOA2, but over the phone. I have not received any other notifications. I had an RFE for a document I already submitted. An agent told me over the phone that sometimes “documents get separated from the file.” I would suggest contacting your congresspersons office if you have not already done so. They can submit an inquiry on your case. You can even get an info pass to talk to someone in person. I know someone who had to do all these things to find out 8 mos into it that her case had not been assigned to anyone. I’m not saying that is your case as all cases are different, but it doesn’t hurt to be persistent. They are not above human error.
