Decided to call NVC tonight. Apparently they received my case and also shipped it off on Friday. It is currently in route to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I am ecstatic and so thrilled that we don't have to deal with the embassy in Cairo!

Awesome!!! Congratulations!

Gosh, I really wish I could meet my guy in Dubai again and fly back here with him! If we would have been in TSC, I would have had the time to save up for my ticket, and maybe some days in UAE before coming to Dallas. But now that money needs to go to AOS fees and probably tuition. We haven't let ourselves indulge in arguing when he should come because we don't know if he will face AP after the interview and he also needs his transcripts for his classes he's in now.

It's always one step at a time without knowing what will be at step two - but I am such a contingency planner, I can't help but to think of all the possible obstacles - even if it's an AP time that will make me buy a ticket to Dubai for myself!

That's smart though because you're prepared for anything that might happen!

I LOVE this sharing of what everyone's plans are once our significant others arrive! I'm planning to go to Morocco this summer as soon as my semeter obligations finish up and we're REALLY hoping to fly back together before I start up again in August. If so, a Justice of the Peace wedding and for sure - DISNEY!!!! I'm just hoping it's past Ramadan because I don't want to drag him through the ridiculously hot parks if he's fasting, lol! And the Disney food - oh my gosh, yes, it will HAVE to be after Ramadan! Then time to meet the new american family who are all scattered around this beautiful country!

Well said, Camilla!!! We're hear to support one another. <3

Got the NOA2 hard copy in the mail today! Woot!

Finally got the NOA2 hard copy today. Good luck to all ???

Yay! Hopefully mine's coming too then, we're the same notification date! Now the NOA2 dance. Good luck!!!!

So many variables involved, it's hard to make sense of this whole thing. I really hope the end of the week brings a huge batch of NOA2s for folks in both CSC and TSC.

Yes, I called USCIS (twice) and the NVC. The USCIS says, "Don't bother us again! We have 90 days to transfer the petition!!!!!!" and NVC says "Please try us again after 35 days after the NOA2 date, thank you and have a great one! "

I know there is an email address we can contact after the 35 days, and some have had to call USCIS and speak with a tier two person to ask for a service request. I am also trying to be patient, and I won't stir the pot until after May 12th.

I asked how often CSC sends their cases to NVC, but that information is not readily available.... I'm sure it save American taxpayers money somewhere in this process. (But then again, doesn't my petition fee include the cost of transferring the case?)

Yikes! Wow, California, hahah! I thought they were laid back out there.

Has anyone on this thread been transferred to NVC yet? If so, how long did it take you? How did you find out? (Calling USCIS, NVC, getting letter, etc.)

Good question - we're waiting patiently (well, not really patiently) the several week timeline to call and find out if they received ours yet from 4/17. YourNOA2 text/email was 4/7? Have you called them yet?

Hopefully this week brings a whole bunch of NOA2s for everyone!!!!

Yay! Congratulations! Ours was 22 days but I know another recent Moroccan case that was only 9!! And his interview is 56 days from NOA1. Can you imagine?? Hahah! Good luck through the rest of the process!!!

Don't apologise! You get to be thrilled and ecstatic about your NOA-2, just as us TSCer get to be bummed and despaired.

Good luck with the rest of the process.

Awww, thank you!!!!!

Sorry guys, I really didn't mean to bum you all out! Thank you for your well wishes - I sincerely hope you all get the good news as well very, very soon.

Oh my goodness, we got our NOA2 email and text last night!!! It was 11:30 p.m. and it woke me up!!!!! I can't believe it, so happy right now! Stay positive everyone, yours will be coming soon, I'm sure!!!!

Is there a place on VJ where they list number of notices getting NOA2?

Yes, if you go to Immigration timelines and click the left arrow on the NOA2 column, it will list them in date order starting with the most recent. Then looking over at service center you can see that a lot of the September TSC petitions went through to NOA2 status.

Hahah, hopefully the Cali folks just had a little break and will be back to normal speed next week! But, really, I AM happy for the TSC folks, it stinks for ANY of us to wait so long when we just want to know when we can plan our weddings!!!!

I noticed the big difference as well. I am happy for those folks, they have been waiting for a long time. Maybe they are having the CSC folks help without offically sending the cases to CSC.

That's what I was wondering too. And yes, good for them!

Wow, have you guys noticed how many more TSC K1s have gone NOA2 this week? Like 27 compared to 4 from CSC.

Ack, I haven't been able to see anything since the date changed from 3/26 - the NOA1 to 4/1 - no idea what that reflected, maybe its arrival at CSC? So I thought, ok, just for kicks, I'll call and I got the standard, status for this case number cannot be found in this automated system at this time...please make sure the number is correct, etc. So, is this the same message people are getting when they call?

Hopefully there will be a whole slew of them tonight then at 10!

I have a question, is there any specific time of day that people get notified? I'm looking above me here at Amhara's and the times are at 9ish at night. I know Cali is a few hours behind me here in FL, but I didn't know if it was an anytime during the day or a particular timeframe at the end of the day. Does that make sense?

Ok just saw one updated today that received their NOA2 today from CSC. So THAT'S good. Hopefully a whole lot more from BOTH service centers get through today!

Has anyone else noticed that no one has posted an NOA2 approval for Monday or Tuesday from CSC. I know VJ folks are a small portion of the applications but that is not the norm. Hopefully folks are just excited and have not filled in their timelines.

Yes, I noticed that too, there seems to be only a trickle right now. :/

Congratulations, Noz!

I never had a status record, so I'm now even more confused. I feel like I'm missing something probably really obvious! lol

Hey everyone!

I'm confused about the USCIS website. When I go to click on my case number it just goes to a screen that says "my" in script and nothing else except boxes down below under "Related Tools." Is this normal? Is it supposed to say anything? I'm so paranoid by all the stories that I'm just worried something is wrong, lol. I have GOT to stop reading these forums. hahaha!
