So I ~finally have an interview date! September 16th, 2015 at the US Consulate in Montreal.

I'm just waiting to hear back on my medical appointment.

I'm not sure why - but I am so nervous and anxious about all of this. Has anyone else felt like this? I mean, at this point, it's all happening and it's good and we're where we've been longing to be and I thought the anxiety and stress would have left the moment I received an interview date but holy moly, not really. Haha.

Hi everyone i received my interview date FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cant believe its coming to an end.

That must be an amazing feeling! Congrats!

Hey guys!

I'm sort of confused and need some guidance. I feel like I should be doing something, but the lawyer's office seems cool with everyone just being idle right now.

I called NVC last week and learned that we have a Case Number and that our file is already *in* Montreal at the embassy (our lawyers office didn't know this). The case status online states that we are good to go ahead and book an interview. But, I'm waiting on Packet 3. The paralegals at our lawyers office (I'm really learning that getting a lawyer for this was completely useless so no need to remind me) have told us to look for Packet 3 in the mail, and once we get it, to let them know. My DS-160, in addition to my fiance's Affidavit of Support and pay stubs, etc. are still sitting on our lawyers desk for review.

Is there anything we should be doing? I've read that you can download the Packet 3 forms from the embassy Website, fill them out and send them off. Our lawyers office advised us to wait for Packet 3 and then, before doing anything, letting them know.

I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I just want to do the right thing.

My fiance is very much of the mindframe that "everything will fall into place" but we're getting married (or hoping to!) on October 23rd and I'd REALLY love an interview date for crying out loud.

I feel like we're so close, but because it seems like the lawyer's office is lollygagging, I'm really worried that things are being held up.

Patiandjoe, I honestly just yelled in relief. Huge congrats!! Xo

Interview Scheduled!!!!! Aug 5.

There is a light at the end of this long tunnel.

Nice!! Congrats!!

I can't wait to have an actual date, holy mackerel.

I just wanted to pop in and let you guys know that I'm thinking about you all - every day. I'm still following this thread - I've just been a bit distracted. But I'm here, I'm watching, and my fingers are crossed for ALL of you September filers who remain. I can't get over how long it's taking to clear out September.

And Mewbear, I can't even believe the way USCIS treated Rich when he called. "Just wait another 30 days", because over 8 months isn't ludicrous enough! I mean, the fact that it's been over 8 months and that the USCIS filing time, even as per the Website, states that they are working on cases well after your file date and yours shows as not being opened or assigned yet...is freaking ridiculous. That would be cause for them to look into that, don't you think?

Gimme one! Haha

Good luck, Mewbear! Hope you get it tonight.

Haha, I was totally thinking that when it happened! "Gee, is this a spare? Can I give it to someone?"

Today has been an incredibly rough day so I'm hoping for some good news tonight. I know I've said that quite a lot, but it's getting almost impossible to remain positive. Sigh.

I was at that point, too. To be honest, Monday night, I had a really big break down. I'm not one to cry over things, which isn't good because I've wanted to "let it out" several times over the past 8 months, but Monday night I finally lost it and I felt so. insanely. hopeless.

And, less than 24 hours later, I received my approval.

This will happen for you, and I really do think it will be soon. At this point, there is no "soon enough" but trust me, once it comes, all the worries (especially about having a Visa by your wedding date!) will disappear.

TSC fairy is reporting in her bulletin that all NOA-2 from May 26th have been changed to May 27th. God only knows what is going on in their system. But there still have been additional approvals last night, which is good.

Thanks for the info - I updated my timeline.

I'm really pleased with all of the positive activity this week. I was expecting the opposite with Monday being an American holiday, and with the floods that had been tearing through Texas in addition to all of the tornado warnings.

So I got one on the Friday night and then another one on the Monday. When I talked to USCIS (not TSC, but the general number), they said they go by the later one (of course!).

Okay - good to know. I wasn't sure what that was about. I'm glad to know it's not a serious system glitch, because anxiety girl over here was fearing the worst: that maybe the system was acting up and maybe I wasn't actually approved. Hahaha.

I need to stop thinking like that.

Just want to say that it seems the NVC is working quickly right now when they recieve an approval. My NOA2 was on May 1. The case didn't arrive at the NVC until May 19, but was then send to Warsaw on May 21.

Good to know! Maybe they'll be good to us since we waited so long at TSC

Has anyone received multiple approvals? Is something up with their system? Yesterday I received another notice that my case was approved as of May 27th. Weird. Nothing for 8 months and the BAM BAM. Ha.

Me too!! Welcome

BTW Dana-Kristen I noticed you guys met on WoW. Do you still play? Haha Michael and I met on a game pre-WoW but have been playing WoW ever since release

kaisara - another gaming couple! Awesome! Haha. We both do totally still play We are on Misha server. How about you two? I've been playing WoW ever since it was released ten years ago, with a few breaks here and there. I just love that game. I could level characters over and over again. Haha.

Boy am I happy to finally be able to proceed to this thread - hi guys

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/543436-noa2-approval-september-2014-filers-tsc/

Thank you so much

After 254 days since NOA1 we were finally approved last night!!!!!!! I'm in utter disbelief right now. It feels unrea

Congrats!!!!! I know what you're feeling with the whole disbelief thing. I thought I'd be crying all the happy tears but I'm too much in disbelief, even this morning!

Hey guys, does anyone have a link to the forum for the "post NOA2 process" for us September filers? I remember someone telling me one was created, but that was over a month ago. I'll never find it! Haha.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS also to so_ma and Juliet!

Thank you so much! I am still in awe and disbelief. I checked my phone around 9pm last night and saw the usual "Case Was Received" and didn't think anything of it, because that's been the norm for the past six months. Then, about 45 minutes later, I went to plug my phone in to charge and without thinking about checking the USCIS app I just clicked on it out of habit and there is was: Case Was Approved. I stared at it for a solid 10 seconds before I could even react. H'ooo boy!

Thanks for sticking around in order to support us all. I'm totally staying until everyone is approved!

Congratulations!

This week really did start well. I wonder how many September people are left after the latest TSC blitz.

Thank you! I'm overjoyed by the amount of approvals in this group this week. May it continue!!

Now those are the news to wake up to! Congratulations Dana, Juliet and so_ma.

Keeping fingers crossed for all of us who are still waiting (Vincent, mewbear & Sandra!!), but dayum, last two days give me new hope.

Btw, our service request return email stated that we're going to get a response by June 3rd and in my head I'm kind of not expecting anything by then.

My fingers and toes are crossed for you. The long weekend seems to have resulted in some rested and motivated adjudicators so...I'm going to go ahead and say you're getting it within the next few days. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE.

Thank you so much everyone!

I will not budge until you're all approved. I feel like I'll be able to be of better support now that I'm not an anxious mess.

Congrats to all of you who were approved tonight!

It seems like they had a productive day. I'm hoping for the rest of you! Mewbear and Patiandjoe I'm especially sending you two positive TSC vibes. You have to be next.

Oh my word.

I have been approved.

Wowza some people are messy. A very non-sarcastic "good luck" to her fiancé....

You answered a lot more nicely than I would have

I got approved since Friday and did not know. I deleted my Moumoune account and create a new one to let people know but instead I saw sarcasm ... Well, I wish you good luck and I dont like to play by the back so frankly I will just say, I wish you wait a little bit longer than everyone before getting your NO2. Thats what I call to be DIRECT

?????????????????

I was actually just being playful with Mewbear, hence the jiggy emoticon. I hope you feel better now that you've gotten being "DIRECT" out of your system. That looked like a lot of pent up anger

Approved. May 22 actually (but posted this morning). Whew.

All 4 people with the same NOA1 date approved at the same time. I think that means at least one more person here.

This week is starting well - just a little more

Congrats! Hopefully a good sign for September.

You answered a lot more nicely than I would have

Lol.

My "Good luck" might have been said with a hint of sarcasm.
