I just called USCIS to ask when my case was actually shipped out and they said it was January 28th. My receipt date notice is January 25th so who knows if that’s even true😩 i feel like every person i talk to tells me something different 

 And good thing is that they told me today that nvc dont have tier 2 when i asked for a transfer 🙄😂😂😂

You’re right. Problem to me is the tier 1 from NVC and USCIS says it is shipped the day it is approved. That is not correct.

Yep, somewhere along the line, Greenbaum did allude to the wasted effort of calling the USCIS for status.   I think we all simply needed to prove it to ourselves.   I have to admit, they have always been exceptionally polite as they made up the various answers.

lol, this. I'm military and we have our own "separate" number we can call, but I'm pretty sure it goes to the exact same people as if you call the standard number. sometimes you get someone who's really willing to try to help, sometimes you get someone who just wants to read a line and hang up the phone, but in the end, none of them can really do anything.  I do plan to start calling after two weeks, not because I think it'll speed anything up, but simply because I want to know when it gets to NVC.  After that you can start making relatively accurate plans.

 

By plans, I mean Kris wants to get her nails and stuff done soon before she leaves so she needs some estimated dates so she can make appointments 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

INTERVIEW APPROVED!!! The questions were her age, my age, how many times I visit her, if I enjoy the Philippines, asked what my work is, asked my address, and asked where we plan to get married. She didn’t ask for any documents. Interview was less than 5 minutes.

NOA2 to visa approval......one month.   Outstanding !!      Congrats.

I not confident we'll see NVC receipt in one month of NOA2.

Your process went quick! Was there a reason (military) or just lucky?

Being military doesn't speed anything up. I've noticed some people just get super lucky with USCIS to NVC times. For some people it's 10 days, for some it's going on a month and still hasn't been sent. For petitions I can understand differences in timelines due to different backgrounds and stuff, but at this stage we're all the same, so I don't get it. 🤔🤔🤔

[DanielPlainview 368]

Just pull some stats off the Timeline search.    K1, NOA2 date of 1-17 to 1-19.   Looks like a lot of us in the same boat.

Yea, just wake me up in two weeks... It sucks, literally nothing that anybody can do but wait. Just another stage of the waiting game, brought to us by USCIS..

 

I've noticed lots of media pressure on USCIS delays lately, but even if something does get done about it, our spouses will probably already be in the states, maybe even already done with AOS..

50 billion dollar budgets each for Homeland and State.   Isn't that about $300/citizen annually to run them?  (But only 50% pay taxes, so.......).   

Maybe they're too busy with the folks who don't want to hassle with all these procedures.

i havent even tried calling NVC yet. i did update the emails and aside from the obligatory we have not received your petition yet that we both got, i am not really sweating this part. the hard part for me i think is passed.

Yeah, I'm retired Army (Combat Medic) and I front loaded my DD 214 and other military stuff and it didn't help my case whatsoever, lol

Interview date received! March 26th! My fiance will be flying out to attend, and hopefully we can leave for the US together a few weeks later.

 

Medical and a few more forms to gather and we should be good! You've all been a great help and we both can't thank you enough. We're so excited!
