Finally was able to book interview today. NOA2 was August 31st and interview date is January 14th😭 Mexico is so backed up and this was the first available. At least this will be over soon. Just 3 more months of waiting 😭😭

Keep checking the booking site for cancelations. There is a good possibility that you can catch one and reschedule yours into that space.

Good thinking! Thank you

Just so I understand correctly - the ceac.state.gov will show this screen until the day it says "READY" correct? I just put in my USCIS receipt #.

Okay, I don't have my NVC number yet. How are people getting learning that their case is "READY?" Are they just getting the email, or calling? I don't want to waste a minute learning if I have an NVC case number yet if I don't have to wait for snail mail.

Checking on your embassy case number from NVC:

It will take 7 - 10 business days for NVC to receive your file from USCIS after you receive the NOA2, then another 2 - 5 business days for NVC to get your file in there system and produce your case number.  Call 7:00 am eastern time for shorter wait times.

 

1-603-334-0700 or 603-334-0888. Operator assistance is available Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 12:00 AM (Eastern Time)

 

1 for English, then 7 (or 5, but I would go 7 as they would tell you if you should call 5 instead after they receive your case.)

 

Best time to call:

Right after they open which is around 7:00pm Philippine time/ 7:00am US Eastern Time, Mon-Fri. I was always able to have the phone answered after the first ring if I called right at 7am.

Ok thank you. NOA2 was 18 days ago and I have called twice to see if they had a number yet and there was nothing. I will try again on Tuesday after the Holiday. Thanks!!

Just venting. Trying to be calm and not think about when everything will be processed but having my case sit and collect dust at the NVC is frustrating. My case number was assigned 9/18 and all other timelines I checked with that date show NVC sent to embassy on 10/2. I called and they just say it’s still not outside normal processing times but when I see all these other cases already sent it makes me think Is my case lost or something? Ugh. Hopefully some movement will happen this week. I have all paperwork completed for the packet 3 and all supporting docs. Just waiting to be able to schedule the medical and interview.

There just might be a different approach:

 

1.  Use the tools here in VJ to answer "when I am going to get etc. etc." question. Near your picture, there is a link to your timeline. Select it and once you're on the next page near your picture you will see "follow similar timelines" and it will populate 12 other couples who are near your dates. Scroll down and you will see a "spreadsheet" style page showing all the variables for measurement for when others from your Embassy are getting the same notice of approval or action.  Try it. It really works!

 

2. And if you want to follow those from other countries that have similar timelines as yours there are several tools available to you. Go up to Immigration Timelines on the blue ribbon above and select it. Once you are on the next page looked to your left and you will see a box that states, "find similar timelines" and select it. A list will populate with those who are processing close to your timeline. When they start to change you will soon be behind them.

Looking for some help!

I checked the NVC Case Status and it currently says  "Ready" I called NVC and asked what I should do now, they said just wait... I feel like I'm wasting time "just waiting". If anyone has been through this process what would you suggest I do?

The marriage certificate is proof enough for health insurance but not for a bank account. Your bank will probably require the SSN for the bank to add you to the account. Not having the SSN at this time is not going to affect your AOS. You will need it once you are eligible to work.

hi guys, just an update. my fiance had his interview on the 28th, i wasnt allowed to go inside so i waited outside...we had all the documents except for the police certificate (he's been trying to get it for the last month or so) the interview went fairly well according to him however they didnt say whether or not his visa was approved. They gave him the 221g to bring the certificate and was placed in AP. Good news is that they kept his passport (right? i hope ), he got the certificate finally and brought to the embassy, now just waiting for a response ....
