Ok I can see it all now. Congrats. Yes case should be to Embassy before long.

The worst part is all behind you guys.

No cell phones at the Embassy and just tell your significant other to smile and be positive with the interviewer and they will be fine.

 

Definitely true, thank you😁

You really need to consider putting in your timeline so people will have a better idea of where you are in the process and it will give you a better idea of when to possibly expect your NOA 2 although according to your message above you don't have it but you got the CFO and vaccines already? I guess no harm in an early CFO but part of the medical fee includes the vaccines weather she gets them or not they charge as if she were to have them all. Bring the documents from her doctor to St. Lukes some of those you don't want double dosage especially in such a short period of time.

I apologize, my timeline has been updated. Maybe it's not showing. We're at the NVC stage now..but yes, definitely will be bringing medical records there haha

Okay, so my fiance is at the CFO interview now..while we waited for our NOA2 we went ahead and got her vaccinations..apparently that wasn't right and st lukes is going to give her all of them again...is this true? Was that a waste of money and time?

When you have the  mnl number from the nvc. You can pay the Visa fee at BPI. Print the deposit slip or MRV slip from here http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph/pmisdepositslip.htm?amount=265&country=philippines

We are "at NVC😊 got our case # last Tuesday. 

Congratulations😁we got ours Friday. How long do you think it will be there?

Is anybody here at the "nvc" realm yet? I'm trying to spy on some timelines 😜

Technically you could start the DS-160 even before you filed the I-129F.

I have not heard of any 6 NVC steps might be for CR-1 Spousal Visa

It does NOT ask for your WAC number or your NVC number.

It's the government so they need to give you a 3rd number an A# which is generated when you create the DS-160.

Just be sure to log in every 30 days or until you have completed the application otherwise the data will be lost.

The beneficiary needs to load a digital photo of themselves as well.

 

Ours is complete and confirmation page has been printed out.

Day 127 here and expecting at least another 30 day way before NOA 2.

So does she schedual her interview on the DS160 also? Is there any penalty for waiting until it gets fwd to the emabssy?

Do k1 applicants have to follow the 6 NVC steps? Can we start the DS160 before the case goes to the embassy? Or should we wait? 

Just now, Talako said:

 

Yep, from their website:

 

(603) 334-0700. Customer Service Representatives can speak with you Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight EST, excluding holidays.

Haha wow, makes sense why everything is faster there..thank you

Just call the the NVC at (603) 334-0700.  Hit 1 for English and then 7 for a Representative.  I'd call very early or after 9pm Eastern.  I called twice after 9 pm Eastern.  The first time I waited a minute and found that it wasn't received.  When I called last Friday, there was no waiting, and I got the numbers..

Pm? They have people working at night? I'm in California it's 6pm here..so 9pm in New Hampshire

It is going fast now.  NVC tracker now says "Ready."

 

It's at the embassy and ready to rock.

 

Received: 4/4/17

NOA1: 4/10/17 (Form date)

NOA2: 8/14/17

Received by NVC: 8/24/17

In Transit: 8/29/17

Ready:  8/30/17

How did you contact the NVC. My case got approved on the 23rd..i tried to call today but the wait was so long 

So has anyone tried calling the NVC?

Any luck on getting in contact with someone?

Does anyone else have trouble contacting NVC?

Any filipinas/Filipinos that can explain the CFO subject to me again..my fiance scheduled an appointment..but I feel like they're asking for more information than the American embassy is..

In that case I would imagine you are approved very soon! I heard it only takes a few days. Next week might just be your week

How do you know someone was assigned to your case?

I'm not the approved candidate...I'm a May Filer and I just post approvals in the forum when the tracker notifies me.

 

I WISH I WAS APPROVED...but for now, I'm living through my Aprilites! Next month, May is up to bat...hopefully!

Congrats 😊

Has anyone from April 14 gotten approved yet? I'm getting kinda anxious here

A couple weeks back the case status was working fine. The past few days people have been finding out through the post and their status still says case was received. It can go either way.

Has anyone from April 14 gotten approved yet? I'm getting kinda anxious here haha

Actually her fiance called USCIS and was told by a tier 2 officer they were approved, so yep... Informed Delivery is really quiet today 

Has anyone from April 14 gotten approved yet? I'm getting kinda anxious here haha

That's enough for a household of two (you and your fiance).

Congrats on your NOA2 

 

That's above poverty guidelines. I'm an E4 in the military and I get the same amount..we're good!

There's no direct number for tier2. You have to undergo Tier 1. From there if you are not satisfied with their answer you can request tier 2. Hehe and tier 2 will call you back. They don't do transfer 

It's easy, just allow them to try to answer you, if you do like it, just say you want to talk to someone who is tier 2

Hello all,

 

I was able to get through to the USCIS on the phone and was transferred to a Tier 2 officer. This was last week. The Officer told my that our case was being processed in the California Service Center. When I pressed and asked if a officer had been assigned he said yes. I asked if he could give me an estimate of when we would receive the NOA2 and he said based on my NOA1(April 4) then it would be sometime this month or, at the latest, the first week of September. Did anyone else have an experience like this with a Tier 2 officer. I read that some people got exact information on their case while others didn't get as much information as I did. I take him at his word that it will be this month or September but I feel like he was just ballparking to get me off the phone. He kept saying they were 3 months behind but I don't know what to do with that information. 

You got a good officer, most the time they have no idea what's going on at the service centers. But you got one who probably took the time to actually do his job and look into it..haha not often

I am so sorry to read this, can you not request them to resend the letter considering they said they sent it nearly 2 weeks ago. Hopefully your RFE is something simple. 

Once again I'm so sorry!! 

Sorry to hear that, we all try to think of logical reasons of why the USCIS works the way it does..but absolutely NO idea comes to mind as to why they are as extremely untrustworthy as they are.
