You are very welcome.  I know what you mean.  The only reason I have some sanity left is because of the caring people and positive encouragements from here.  I continue to wait for our NOA2.  Much happiness to both of you.

Same!! And it’s hard to talk to friends and family about it because it’s hard to explain the process and how frustrating it is! Feels like only people who have been through it really understand

Very true.  When I tried to explain to my sister how frustrated I was getting, she said I was giving her a headache & that I should exercise more patience.  I decided that I would only share with my VJ family.  I am grateful that we have each other to lean on.  There are some pretty good people on this forum.

For those of you in July 2018 that will be approved late or have an extended time between your NOA1 and NOA2 don't lose hope. Its not very pleasant seeing everyone  pass you by, but you just have to find a way to deal with it and don't lose sight on why you filed your K1 in the first place. Believe me I can relate.

Should terms and conditions or an email for a social media site be brought with other paperwork to the interview stating the site is not an IMB?

I have started just sharing the "approval" steps with friends/family because they just don't understand the process. So ever so often I say "yea we got through Step 2"  or "Yep, we passed step 3" and then they can share the excitement because they have no idea what I am talking about.  But trying to explain the interim frustration is pointless to those that don't "get it".

 

Hang in there!!

Lol at "more patience". SMH.

 

It is hard and frustrating. As with anything in life, those that have gone through it just understand more. Hang in there. I know when I get particularly frustrated I switch gears and add to my list of activities/events/vacations I want my fiancé and I to complete once he gets here. It takes a negative feeling and turns it into an exciting one. It may be silly but it helps me.

Yea, we understand because we are the ones going through this waiting game.  You have the right attitude.  Thanks.  I know the wait is worth it & I just have to remember to stay busy until I hear something.

Has anyone tried calling the NVC yet for a case number and status? I haven't been able to find any timelines really from July group who have moved along through NVC.

There are a lot in July that are getting case numbers. If you have been updated with an approval normal transit time to NVC is 2-4 weeks then 2 weeks for NVC to assign a C# then every other week shipments go out to the Embassy.

 

This link has additional information for you to use at will.

WOW! That is a long wait but also normal as they have up to seven months, you still have two weeks to wait it seems like and after that you can begin to worry and call. Til then, relax, all will be ok.

Yes I have called and also emailed. They provided us the case # in email about 5 days prior to the official notice.
