April 2018 NOA2 ----> NVC

[qliu 36]

Hi guys! We just called NVC and got the case number (NOA March 27)! The website states that our case is in transit to the Consular and my interview date was provided to me by NVC. Any idea what this means? Many thanks!

I am soooo glad I will be joining this thread as well! I am beyond excited 

 

Received date NOA1: 09/25/2017

NOA2: 04/09/2018

 

And I already have a few questions  :

 

1. Does the digital passport picture have to match the passport pictures I will use for the medical and interview appointment?

 

2. So after we get a NVC Case # and they forward it to the embassy the embassy will send me information about the packet 3 automatically? Via email or via mail? Or do I have to request that  ?

Congratulations! ☺️💃🏼

 

1. Nope not that I have heard of. The digital photo was the trickiest part of the DS-160 in my opinion though haha. Fought so much to upload a photo they would accept 🙈

2. I believe most embassies send you package 3 automatically. I got my checklist in an email without having to ask for anything. How they send it depends on the embassy, some send it via mail too. Maybe check a regional forum for how your embassy handles this.

Guys,i have a question.

Ive made single certificate when we have been applying our i129f (september 2017) is it still valid for the interview or i should make new one? Cause for me is a bit difficult to make it,cause i live not in the country of origin. Same with police certificate. I have it from Ukraine since september 2017. But i dont live there,so i guess i dont need new one.

Dont know what to do about it.

R you petitioner or beneficiary

It doesn't mean anything. Just Ignore!

 

Immediately your status reads 'Ready'; contact the Embassy via email or phone number requesting for the Packet 3. 

 

Also, depending on your embassy, you may schedule your Medical with the 'Ready' Status.

I was wondering where do we check the status of our case at NVC? Do we check it at the USCIS website or the NVC site

 

Approved April 5th. Received NOA 2 april 9th hard copy

 

Thank you

8 days in and I made my first call to NVC, they haven't received our case yet but on the plus side the lady was SUPER nice.. definitely not as stressful as calling USCIS

I think you mean this: https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx
Once you get a case number from NVC, type that in here and it will tell you your case status

Girl welcome to how the other half lives!
NVC folks know the struggle.  Bless their souls. They are super patient and kind and will even permit you to call multiple times a day if you choose (though that's useless since mail only goes once a day)

I'm liking it here... still a little impatient with the whole process but I'm so much more chilled.

She was so polite and pleasant.. here name was SUNNY for Christ sake... How can you not be delighted talking to a chirpy lady named SUNNY

Hello, who typically receive the email for package 3? Is it the petitioner or the beneficiary?

While I am still waiting for my NVC notice, I believe the package 3 will go to the beneficiary as it is their application at this point.  In my case, the Embassy puts everything on line.  It is mainly a list of what the beneficiary has to do.  I would check the embassy website for your country.

Im beneficiary. But we both have that certificate since september. Should we make new one?

I don't think that you need it,you need intend of marriage instead of that, before interview petitioner needs to send new one to beneficiary
