Hi friends! Just wanted to share my great news!

It's already more then 2 weeks since Kiev Embassy got our case (hard copy). We called every day since they got it, but were unable to schedule interview. Today finally we got it! It is DECEMBER, 11 !!!! A week from today!!!

I almost fell of my chair, I never expected it so fast. Statistically Kiev is about 20-40 days from scheduling to actual date. Seems it has changed recently.

Anyway I am very happy!!!!

Best of luck to all waiting!

Congratulations and best of luck! :thumbs:

Hi Everybody

We were approved November 29th and I would like to know if when our paperwork is sent to the NVC, will they insert this information on the USCIS website under status?

No. You should call NVC. The NOA2 says that they sent it to NVC, even if they haven't actually, yet, physically sent it to NVC. I'm going to give it a few days since I just got approved and then start calling the new place that I'm waiting for. :)

You can also call the Department of State (DOS). I called them today and they were extremely helpful and gave me my fiance's consulate-specific case #.

US State Department: (202) 663-1225 - press 1, 0

I ahd the same question a few weeks ago.

06/26/07: E-mail notice of transfer to the CSC.

11/06/07: NOA-2 approval issued for the I-129F.
