Hi folks

Can't believe it but we have an appointment at the consulate

I remember when I started this thread I never thought this day would come

So August 27 and 28th in Napoli ..... Ahhhhhhhh light at the end of the tunnel!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the encouragement but you can't call the Napoli embassy anymore ... They have switched to an online system all numbers are just recordings now

It Says "ready" but Napoli Says they haven't Received it

Did you log in the DOS website? What does it say on there?

There is a great pinned posting in this forum check it out

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/67796-yes-you-can-visit/

Is there a difference on the dos website between "issued" and "ready"

It's been 10 days and Naples says they still don't have our file.....

I can't seem to navigate dhl to track ... Discouraged ... So many mishandlings by the whole process .....

http://ceac.state.gov and enter your case # to see when it is "Issued" then check the dhl site to see if when the air way bill becomes available.

Yes I can !!!!!

He actually also went thru the k1 process himself he is great

Please tell him that I recommended you to him and that we met thru visa journey ...

Hi everybody.

It's true - even if your case status says : ready, it does not mean the embassy actually hase it already. My case is on "ready" almost 7 days. I contacted the embassy and that's what they replied :

Dear Ms. Xxxxxxx:

In reference to your inquiry, we have received the electronic, but not the physical file from NVC.

After we receive the physical file, you will be contacted. Information on the process after the petition has been approved is available at http://germany.usembassy.gov/visa/iv/step3/ You can start to assemble the documents listed in the K-1 Visa

Yes I get the same reply from the Napoli consulate ... 8 days for me:(

Oh no Angelina! Thanks for the heads up. I will contact the Embassy and confirm they have it. Our interview is already scheduled for August 5th. I want to make sure they have it before I make travel plans. Glad I read that, because I was going to buy plane tickets today.

You are so lucky!!! I M soooooo happy for you

Yes but when you get he ready message it only means the received it .. They haven't entered it in their system yet

I got this message 8 days ago but my embassy says they still not have it

I got the same "Ready" status update last night! Case created on Jul 19th too. Only difference is the Updated date is July 25th.

It's good to see the early TSC family finally moving on to our Embassies

Yep, it shows up when case is in embassy and now my numbers look like yours.

Today status changed to READY )

Your case is ready for your interview when scheduled at the U.S. Consular section.

Otherwise, please wait until you have been notified of your interview appointment. Additional information about how Immigrant Visa interview appointments are scheduled can be found at:http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3731.html

It turns out that I was assigned case number on July 19th! and now I have no idea when they sent it out to Russia. I guessed monday.

She went to medical WITHOUT knowing case number!!

So happy for everyone!!!! There is another process with the national visa center and your embassy

You can expect another month plus if you case is sent to the national visa center for a case number... Then another 10 to reac the embassy ... Some embassy's will sent you an appointment letter letting you know where and hoe to make appointment

For example we were approved on June 17 th

I received an email saying that they haven't received our case yet and with th new system of booking appointments online w won't have an appointment until September .... So that is almost 2 and half months AFTER approval ......

Thanks Jeannie!!

it's nice to be approved!!! The Visa In-hand is right around the corner!!! I can feel it!!! Looking forward to an amazing, fast and smooth Interview, Approval and Visa in hand ASAP!! Followed by a cheap,fast, safe flight home with my Future Husband by my side!! I say by my side... cuz he already claimed the Window Seat!! But I love him so he can have it.... This Time! ;-)

NOA2 July 3. Still stuck at TSC. When will i ever get transfer to NVC.

I got notice bt DOS that my file is at the consulate but the consulate doesnt hav it yey.....and they aren't going to be giving us an appointment until September because there is a new system of making appointments online. I have learned that there are two vVJer's tthat have their appointments in Napoli today and tomorrow but the were approved back in march and had to wait for this new system to kick in on July 16th .. So making appointments are back logged too (/:.......

Bad news don't trust the tracking service from the DOS

I received an update saying my file was "READY" but Napoli still hasn't got it... They wrote back saying that with the new system of making appointments on line I won't have appointment until September

Once they got my case I had number in 10 days .... It's when they transfer to embassy I get hairy ... Dis says it ready for interview but th consulate says they not have it

Here we go again

So, now that they received my case they say it will be 2-4 weeks until a number is assigned. Any thoughts on whether their estimates can be trusted at all right now?

To be perfectly honest there is no such thing as taking petitions in the order that they were received ..they say that but it isn't one ... Period ..... I filed dec5 2012 ... I saw folks who filed in March 2013 get approved before me ... Once you are approved there is another month to 2 month wait before your approved petition goes the national visa center or to your embassy .for a case number .. I am almost hitting the 8th month mark with no interview date... So sit back and ride the wave be sure you and your fiancé stay strong .... It s truly a journey

Hello VJ er's!

Trying to be patient and also keep a sense of humor during this long, sanity-testing process of obtaining a Fiance Visa. I filed the petition in April 2013. I am noticing almost daily that others are receiving their approvals even though they filed way after I did (am I just jealous?). How do "they" choose, or what is the process for approving one more quickly over another??

I thought my petition was put together "flawless" and the way its described to do on here on VJ. I thought I had an impeccable background and stood out amongst others who have flaws, or issues in their characters or backgrounds, histories etc... Not to brag, but..... I was a 3.8 student in high school and college while obtaining my bachelors degree. I served my country in the US NAVY proudly and left with a honorable discharge. I served my state and community proudly through 21 years of law enforcement, and now live on a very good pension which is more then enough to support a wife and family. I have never had a criminal background, or any form of financial difficulty such as a bad credit rating, foreclosure, bankruptcy etc... I have never been married before and have no children. I guess the worst thing on my record is a speeding ticket in my whole entire life of 54 years. And my one "SIN" in life......I hate to have to admit it.....chocolate!!! Yes, I'm going to hell for that!!

Now for my "lighter" side.....I have never been married, arrested, divorced, or stole a candy bar from Walmart. No children = no child support issues. I have never coveted my neighbors wife or daughter. I have never taken, smoked or inhaled any illegal substance. I have never owed anyone more than I have ever earned, or had enough in my bank account to pay for it. I occasionally but rarely used the words "damn" or the "F" and "B" words. I do "only" go to church once a week instead of the 7 days of the week that the majority of people go. I do vote every election and pay my taxes every year. I did have a garage sale this summer and gave my profits to a needy family instead of depositing them in my bank account. I do cut my grass and plant flowers in my yard. And, I always put out cookies and milk for Santa Claus when he visits my house on early Christmas morning. I guess I need to put out lettuce for the Easter Bunny's annual visit??

OK, you're right.....yes I have lived a boring life (ha, ha). But one thing IS for sure....I love my baby Gina in The Philippines and want to marry her! Met her on-line in September 2012, and lived with her 4 months in Cebu from December till April. I guess I'm just "venting" here, and like previously stated - "jealous" of others, and frustrated at ours not being approved. But yes, I am curious - really am, as to how others get chosen so quickly, and "out of order" over others???? I appreciate your answers and your own thoughts and concerns....fire away!!! And may God bless us all.

Actually calling embassy takes you nowhere there is no live peron. I found out by another couple like us that now they sent packet via email only!!!! After you fax info then thy send a link and we schedule interview online!!!!! It's. new procedure tt tarted July 16th

Lets stay in touch....when did you get approval?

i'm on the same step as you. i really doubt they got it so soon but if anything you can call the embassy starting monday or email them next week. they are going to send packet 3 to the address you wrote for your fiance. however, i already downloaded packet 3 from the naples consulate website and filled it out. it's usually the same packet from what i have heard... the packet on their website has all the instructions and form attached.

http://italy.usembassy.gov/visa/iv/application.html

That's...confusing.

Where is the case status update from? The USCIS web site? Maybe you could take a screenshot of that, as a proof, and send them another e-mail and attach the screenshot, showing technically your case is there already. For how long has your case supposedly been at the embassy for? Is it possible the update is just on the web site but they're yet to receive your documents? Also did you get packet 3 by e-mail?

Can't think of anything else to help, hope it won't be as confusing for me when ever the time comes.

Again, good luck and let me know how it goes.

Thank you for your help... The waiting continues ....

Did you get a chance to choose what day you wanted your interview or did they give you a random date??

Here is my break down so thse still waiting cn get a sense

Noa2 approved 17th of June

They sent my case to the national visa center July 9th

Nvc issues case number juky16th

They sent it out to my Fiancé's embassy

It is readi and received the 19th

Now we are waiting on Napoli to send us packet 3

Waitin.... Agian

But I hope very or is doing well

http://naples.usconsulate.gov/contact.html

Or try sending them an e-mail at IVNaples@state.gov. If you're concise and they don't have too many e-mails, they may reply within 1-3 days.

Good luck!

K1 fiancé visa consulate received but not received packet 3 phone number????

Does anyone know Naples phone number to ask for a jet 3 ... Every number we try is only. Recorded number

Yes

Thanks for your response. Did you get this email also before getting your case number? Well with a different date of course... On July 17, 2013, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly.

How long did it take after this for you to get the case number and have it shipped off? 4 weeks from the date on the status email? I appreciate your help.

Good Luck on the rest of your journey!
