My wife lived in Kropyvnytskyi and she got hers the third morning after interview. 

Interview scheduled March 19th in Cincinnati.

EAD card being made was texted this morning

I got the interview scheduled notice online on the 4th. I received USPS notification letter will be here today. So it could show anytime. It depends on the mail and also if weather is effecting shipping right Now. 

Interview scheduled, waiting on NOA with date.

Wow ours took awhile too like 6 weeks, but not this long. Did they give you the receipt letter stating that you had applied on XX date?

Yes I did. I think it comes down to they have no clue what to do. And I-94 has expired so nothing I can do now. I still have letter they gave us , but no other communication from them.

What happened?

Sarge I do not know. I called and check up on the SSN and said they would follow-up. Sounded like someone there did not do it correct. We have them everything they ask for. All information was in SAVE when I checked. But know it's to late and Everytime I call it's a 45+ minute wait on phone and I have no time for that at work

Just now, Sarge2155 said:

Yeahhhhh!

Thxs Sarge. Hopefully this goes better than getting the SSN that still has never been answered since September

Just got the ready to schedule interview.

Ending the month on a good note

Had biometrics appt today at 9am. Got there closed due to executive order for Christmas Eve.

Should of known only day off and thought it was great to get it done. Voice at intercom said come back 26th but lady at USCIS help number said new appt would be sent out. Don't know may get her a ride on the 26th and try to get done then.

Well filed on 11-6 and still nothing and nothing from SSN either. What a mess

Did you get the SSN yet? My wife's took about 5 weeks, but it came.

 

Very good congratulations

No Sarge I didn't. I called and I believe they screwed up. But it's to late now. Haven't even got the NOA1 yet. I have lost a lot of hope for the agencies lately

Perhaps you could go back to the SSA office and press the issue while you still have time? I don't know.

Already did that and called also.

 Aren't you running up against the 14 day deadline then?  They won't process the issuance of a card within 14 days of expiration of the I-94. Once you hit day 76 after entry, the window closes if they haven't verified you and started processing it by then. 

Yes but nothing I can do about it. Social security does as they please and they all know and won't listen. So we will just have to wait until AOS if not issued with in a week and half. Not the end of the world though

I feel your pain. We applied 9-16-2019 and was told manual verification needed. It has been 8 weeks and I just called and they said need to verify again. Which in a bit shell tells me they didn't do it the first time. Oh well the wait is on again. My wife doesn't understand how the different agencies have such poor communication with each other in the US

SSN yes because we filed before married. AOS in married name

It has begun. Filed 3 packets on Sunday 11-3-2019. It is in Chicago now. Hopefully it will be smooth.

Filed for San 6 weeks ago and was told manual verification and have not heard anything back. Do waiting game again

We did. So yes to all your questions. Do the ds160, get the deposit slip and pay then enter the reciept number the next day and schedule interview and call to schedule medical

Shipmaster i did the update email with NVC like the guide greenbaum posted. I put both of our emails. 

Now i know the ship every other Tuesday from NVC to Embassy. Next shipment should be the 10th. Now someone can correct me on that. But i believe the 10th will be shipment day. I checked CEAC site and it showed at NVC then on the tuesday our shipped it changed to in transit. 2 days later it showed arrived. But it actually was 3 days before it showed a signature for acceptance. We both received email it was in transit. 

We then did the DS160 and she printed the deposit slip and paid the fee. And went back the next day after she paid fee and entered the receipt number and schedule was available. We went ahead and chose a day for interview. It was like 10 days after it showed ready. But she actually got a call from the embassy stating they didnt have the papers and she may have to reschedule. 

I emailed the embassy the tracking and who signed for it. I guess they didnt believe me because they sent a request to ceac of course showing ready and then a couple hour later embassy replied they had paperwork. So she also had called for medical and did it all in 3 days. So just keep checking the NVC for ready then go at the ds160. 

Now she will be here in 10 days.

And when i bought flights a round trip was 1000.00 less than a one way. So i will just toss the unused ticket.

Good luck

And to add if they have here phone number they will call her to let her know also

Garrett.

Ours was shipped on the 6th also. But the DHL tracking actually showed no movement until the 7th. It did arrive on the 9th, but this was Kyiv also. I did check the CSEA site and before ship it showed at NVC, the in Transit  then ready. When it showed ready i got the email. But i did see that it actually did not arrive and get signed for until next day. But we did pay the fee and started the ds160. After that it did allow us to schedule. But again this was at Kyiv.

It is possible that it is sitting in the mail room at the embassy waiting to get opened and sorted. Give it a couple days , it should be fine

I advised to call NVC for the case number . This is what i meant. Sorry that i did not clarify

Sometimes it takes more than 1 try. The information is listed in a file in the NOA2 --- NVC threads. That has much information in it. 

Are you the beneficiary ? If so why is the petitioner not taking action on this. I know i as petitioner was always taking care of it.

There is some information you need from the NOA2 letter your must supply before they will speak to you also.

Sounds like the petitioner need to get on the phone and call and get the case number from NVC. I never got a letter or anything. I updated my email with them but only got a email when it was in transit to the embassy. Status can be checked on the CSEA site but you need your NVC case number to see if it is at NVC or in transit or even the embassy. If you wait for what the government says you may be waiting forever. Got to be proactive.

Good luck hopefully it will be finished soon

Thank you

I have to say thanks to everyone that helped and this site...,

We got approved !!!

It was IOM by the fire Inn. She said it was packed also
