It really depend on the embassy. Some get it few days after and some 14 days after.

Thank you Georgia

Haven't been on much lately but so glad to see everyone moving along in their journey. I have a question how long approximately does it take to get the visa after approval?

Congrats! Have a nice day

Thank you so much. You have a good day also.

Case says "Ready"!!!!! Didn't think it would happen so fast! What a wonderful surprise!

I can't find mine on DHL tracker I tried different dates not sure I'm doing it right. Mine said "In transit" on June 07 its going Yaounde Cameroon. Please help

After 122 days and an RFE we got our NO2 this morning! words can't even express the happiness felt right now. This forum has been such a God send the last few months of what seemed like endless waiting. Can't wait to get started on the next step!

Congratulations!

Hi! I sent G-325 & Letter of Intent to my fiancee in Russia to sign and I'm not sure if it's OK to send back to me by e-mail. Nowhere I can find if they have to be original not a photocopy. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

We'll you didn't need to send them to him he could have printed them off his self if he had access to a computer and saved yourself money there but they do you need to have a wet signature meaning originals so they will have to be sent back not emailed. Good luck with everything.

I see someone else a page or two ago asked this question but didn't get an answer, and it applies to our just-submitted case as well.

If the petitioner's long form birth certificate only has one side, should we expect an RFE for both sides? We copied both sides incase there was some sort of watermark like what appeared on the front, but the back just came out as a blank sheet of paper, so we didn't include it because, well, it's blank? Lol. We thought it would be strange to have a blank sheet of paper behind the copy of the front - and didn't know how you'd explain that short of attaching a typed letter to the front explaining the blank page was a copy of the back?

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure I mean if it's blank it's pointless to send it maybe also put a letter explaining all that along with it. Also you can add all the pages of the passport because they require a birth certificate or all the pages of the passport, just to cover all your bases.

Hope this helps

Does anyone still follow this forum? We just received our case number and wondering what the next step is? Do we contact the embassy or do they contact us? Now that he has the case number can he just go get his medical or does he have to wait for the embassy to contact him? How much does the medical exam cost? He already got his vaccinations in March. Please help us. Thank you in advance

Got our case number today!!! One step closer!

APPROVED!!!!!!!

Congratulations

We got our NOA2 today! So happy as it's his birthday today so it was the perfect surprise.

Quick question: the page was updated as approved today, but it actually says it was approved on the 31st May... Shall I use 31st for my timeline?

Yay! Great present!

Currently going insane, been in the embassy for 2.5 hours. Butterflies/stomach

Everything is gonna go great! Good luck! Can't wait to hear all about it with an approval of course!

Thank you Lord! Visa Approved! Just finish interview at US Embassy MANILA. ??

Congrats

The NVC received our case today!! I will call tomorrow for the case number they did not have it today.

Congratulations to all who are moving on in the process and wishing the best to are still waiting! Just remember in the end it will all be worth it to be with the one we love!

Thank you Georgia!

I know it's been posted on here a million times so sorry about this but can I get the number to call for the new case number after NOA2. It's almost time for me to start calling! Couple more days!

I notice that some people are confused abt where to send their response. When I received my rfe they sent a reply envelope for me to send it in. Did anybody else receive a reply envelope?

I received the envelope but did not use it because it wasn't big enough and I wanted to overnight my response back.

Congrats!

Thank you so much!

Hi everyone, I was wondering about something. What are your wedding plans omce you got the visa? We are having a hard time deciding how to deal with it. Ideally we would like a wedding with a ceremony and wedding reception, but it's difficult to do that with this visa and especially since it would be best to apply for AOS as soon as possible after entering the US. We are thinking about doing a civil wedding right after I would arrive and then later a bigger party in November. Being a perfectionist and all, this is a though one because I am scared that when my family comes over for the wedding in November, it won't feel the same because officially we would already be married. What are your thoughts on this and what are your plans?

We went through the same process and ultimately decided to do a civil service when he enters here and the big wedding with ceremony and reception on our 1 year anniversary. I have picked the date for next summer which will be August 26th 2017 so I just have to hope he gets here before the end of August so hopefully no more delays. lol

I was having a hard time dealing with having two different wedding dates if we do the civil and then the big one so that's why I went for our 1 year anniversary. Plus money wise it just made sense because money is tight and we still have to deal with AOS so this gives us time to plan and afford everything to make it the way we want it.

After 85 days and our RFE we were finally approved on the 11th!! The approval took about 3 weeks from our reply to the RFE. Hope this helps people who need it.

Congrats to you two!

Thank you so much

Finally APPROVED on day 85 after an RFE! I fell asleep early today so it was a nice surprise to wake up to. I am so thankful to finally be moving on to the next step! Thank you all for your well wishes and good luck to everyone still waiting!

Oh yes!...

How far are people??

Who is waiting for NOA2?

Who is waiting for NVC?

Who is waiting for their embassy to get back?

And who is waiting for the interview?

Seems that there are people waiting for it all, would be nice to hear how far people have gotten so far?

Still waiting for NOA2 after an RFE.

We are on day 79.

Ugh! Just got an RFE. We were so thorough too. Hope it's not something stupid like OK Cupid TOS..

But at least there's movement. Any idea how long it usually takes to respond and get through after hearing?

So sorry to hear it stinks but like you said at least you have movement.I got an RFE on Apr 11 got the hard copy on the 18th overnighted it they received it the 19th and still waiting for an approval. We also met on OKCupid and I sent the TOS and contacted customer service and they sent me an email that I also printed off and sent along with some of the other legal docs just to be on the safe side and our initial meeting conversation. Good luck everything will be fine it's just the waiting that kills you.

Yay! Congrats you guys!

Congrats on all the new case numbers and NOA2 approvals.
