As long as you can prove your income at the time of the interview with the I-134 and supporting documents it will not matter what your job title is. They only want to make sure that the US citizen can provide support.

Will it look like I have a short job history though! It is in the USA. I'm just worried that I won't have a long job history to show. I guess I can get proof of employment from this job and then the other job too so they can see ongoing employment.

I was just offered a very good job. The problem is that I am scared to take it because of immigration. The last two years, I did not work because I lived overseas with my fiance. When I moved back, I got the job I have now. Will a job change in this hurt our chances of approval? I am a registered nurse in the neonatal intensive care. IT's not about the money but this job is a better opportunity.

How long after your case was shipped to NVc to get a case number? Mine was shipped yesterday, so should I wait until the 21st?

Our NOA2 was approved July 31, 2013 and got it in the mail, however I have had no updates that it has been forwarded to NVC and call every few days which they state they haven't received. I have looked at other timelines that show a much quicker response, what is going on?

We received our NOA2 on the 28th of July and just got our message 10 minutes ago that it was forwarded to NVC. Give it a few more days and try calling. I called because I had not received a hard copy of the approval. I still haven't but they told me I should get it by 23 August. Good luck!!

I called USCIS to see where my NOA2 hard copy was since it has been over two weeks since our email approval. After being transferred to a tier 2 rep, he informed me that our case would be transferred to NVC within 30-90 days of the approval date. That's even longer than the 8 weeks being reported by NVC. I am so confused. Why can't they just ship them to NVC and generate a number? Is it really that hard? I guess I don't understand the whole process. I am praying we all get our cases settled quickly and that it does not take anywhere near 90 days from our approvals to do it.

Is there a possibility he could have been in a car accident and could be in the hospital or worse? Do you have mutual friends on Facebook or Skype? I suggest contacting someone who could check on him before contacting the embassy. It could be something different than what you think. Good luck. We are praying for you. Happy Eid.

I called DOS this morning and the lady told me 4-8 weeks. I asked her why it was so long and she said they are waiting to send them out in batches from Texas.

Hi guys! What is the average wait time to receive a case number from NVC as of now, if transferred from TSC? I have seen a lot of different posts but not sure what wait time we are actually looking at. Thank you!

Transferred July 10, NOA2 July 26. Just over two weeks. Not too bad considering the average wait time is 5 months from NOA1. My NOA1 was April 10. I called NVC yesterday and was told the same as others about waiting 8 weeks to see a case number.

Rep Walter Jones' (NC-3rd) folks were just as unhelpful. Took them forever to respond as well.

Considering Ted Cruz wants to abolish the IRS...I dunno. Your other senator isn't exactly rushing to work on immigration either.

Perhaps you have a congressman who can help?

Our senator, Mark Pryor, was extremely helpful and our visa was approved 2 days after a call from his office. He wrote me a letter letting me know that our visa was approved. I got that letter the day after the approval. I'm not sure if he can help anyone outside of Arkansas, but maybe there are some people here he can help.

I believe she has to pay the fee at a bank that is specified by the embassy in your area. You should try to look at the embassy website for more information. Also, it will tell you in packet 3 where to take care of everything. You can not pay it without a case number to my understanding.

That makes me want to cry for you. Huge congrats! I'm so sorry it's taken so long but th wait has finally paid off!!

I got my NOA2 on July 26. I am not sure when I should start calling but I am thinking of calling, just in case. We are shooting for an interview in September, if at all possible.

I am sure this has been discussed numerous times but, just to be clear, how long should I wait to start calling the NVC for a case number? I am really hoping thy are starting to move TSC cases faster now! Thank you for any replies!

What reason did they give her when she went to pick up the visa? Also, how much longer did they tell her to wait?

Dear All Member ,

Could you advise for how many days after NOA2 we get letter from NVC to get MCU and Interview Date?

Thanks in advance

Maybe we will be at the interview aaround the same time! I just got my NOA2 yesterday.

I understand completely. Sometimes people will ask me how it's going and I explain it to them the best I can but by the time I'm done they are surprised with how much there is to do. Many believe you can just hop on a plane and come here, or once you marry a USC you are invited right in to be a citizen off the bat. So it's definitely great to talk to others who understand what's going on and are in a similar situation. Though with you two having the baby involved I'm sure it's going to be a totally different experience.

Well I'm off to bed now, I was able to tell my girl good morning and good night which is how I like to end everyday. Lucky for her it's monday and she has to go to work and I get to sleep . Living in the future sure must be tough, though I keep telling her to get us lottery numbers for the games here so we can win big! haha, if only that were true, but alright I wish you a speedy journey and bid you a good night.

Haha. They do live in the future. I am the one who has to work and my fiance is at home, enjoying some time off. Thank you again for everything. You have really eased my fears. Good night and good luck! I will keep you guys in my thoughts.

Congratulations!!

I always say if you put it out there and firmly believe in it the Universe will bring it to you. You two definitely have a tough path ahead of you, but if you tackle it as a team I'm sure you can conquer anything. Though I believe some weight will be lifted when he gets here, but I'd also advise to prepare yourself for his adjustment here in the US. I can only imagine that will be tough in itself too, but at least you two will be together then.

I believe the same thing also. I am not worried about the AOS and green card. I know it will be a long road but I am not that worried about it. I am just worried about getting him here so I can work and he can stay with our daughter. Of course, like every other person here, I want him here for me too. Thank you for the reply. It means a lot to me that I have people here to talk to about this. As you all know, most people don't understand how frustrating it is to deal with the long waits and time apart.

I think you are reading the processing times wrong. According to the VJ processing times, the latest K-1 applicants are interviewing around 300 days from their initial filing, not their NOA2. Looks like it's an average 2-month wait from the NOA2 to the interview date for Indonesia.

Maybe I was reading it wrong or it was for a different visa type. I'm not sure. I know I feel much better now! Thank you so much!

Thank you!

Sorry to hear about the situation you two are in but not surprised about the expedite being denied, as I hear there is none for the K1s. As for your question, it all depends. If you were one of the ones transferred to Texas I would say it will probably be about a month before it leaves the NVC and heads to your embassy. From there it can take a month before you have everything else in order, and also depending on what interview dates are available. I can only base on my current experience, which is still at NVC since our approval date of 6/26 and only recently getting a case number from the NVC through the Dept of State.

To help expedite the process you should, if you haven't already, started to gather all the documents he will need for his Interview and sending them out to him.

Someone else can chime in from CSC or VSC how long it is taking for their approved petitions to get to the NVC and leave to the Embassy.

In a nutshell I would say you still have 2 to 3 months to go.

Thank you for the info. I figured about 2 months more. I heard Indonesia was one of the faster embassies to interview. I was one of the TSC transfers and I just got the NOA2 today. I am just having a very hard time doing all of this alone and my only help (my mother) has to have surgery but is trying to put it off because she is the only one who helps with my daughter. I work nights as a nurse, so my schedule makes it difficult to get child care anyway, let alone, a child with illnesses. We will get through this. We have been doing it this long, we can do it a while longer.

Also, I would like to add: even though our visa only took 3.5 months, we have been apart for over eight months. It has not just been three months.

it only took 3 months for your NOA2, that is very fast

I realize that it was very fast but we applied for expedite because of our daughter's severe medical illnesses. We were denid the expedite. I am trying to work and care for a very chronically ill child by myself. Time is everything for us. It's not the typical "wanting him here because I miss him" scenario. Even though, I do miss him like crazy. I NEED HIM HERE TO HELP WITH THIS CHILD. Child care is almost impossible because no one else wants to take care of her.

Hi! We just received our NOA2 today. I was so happy that it was approved and then I started looking at other people's timelines. I see that a lot of people had interview dates that were 300 days out from their NOA2. Please tell me we don't need to wait another 300 days. I am shaking because I am so scared we are in for another long wait.
