I think our original thread was much more interesting - what's up with everyone? It's like everyone fell into the great abyss........

So the USCIS website says they mailed out the NOA2 on December 16th. Does that mean that NVC should get our packet by Monday, Dec 24th? Should I call them next Wednesday on the 26th? or Monday?

Do they assign a new case number? which would mean the original EAC number issued by USCIS/Vermont would no longer be valid? If it is not valid, how would they know what to look for?

I looked at other timelines and based on the stats, I think our interview date will be scheduled for sometime in March but what the hell do I know. I can only hope that we get issued the visa right then and there.

I met a couple at the airport coming back in November and they went in for their interview that Thursday and she was issued the visa the same day! (I travelled home the following Monday).

In addition to that, I know three couples that were put on Administrative Review (AR) - if we get put on AR that would mean we would have to wait until at least next September before he gets here - that would be a six month wait and that is the worse case scenario. I dont' know if it can get much worse than six months!

I would call NVC today. They should have it. 603-334-0700, 1 ,5. Make sure you talk to someone because the K1 will not be in the automated system. They do assign a new case number so be sure to get it. You will have to give them your EACxxxxxxx number and they can look it up.

Not all couples go through AP/AR and even if you do it can last anywhere from 2 days to months to years.

I got another touch today. AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Wooo!! I hope you get approved TODAY Steph!

Just a note about your timeline... You have your RFE dated 12.12 but in your comments it says sent 12.05. I think you should update the actual timeline date to 12.05 since I believe that's what people are going to use to compare statistically how long it takes from getting an RFE to getting NOA2. I think. :)

My case status online and email told me about my RFE on 12/5 but I didn't get the actual letter until 12/12. I will edit my timeline. Thanks!

I think we just got bored :P

And the song is not that bad.

I have to disagree, but I won't bicker.
