Yep, we have the same situation. 
Still at NVC since August 25th. 
Nothing changed, no useful info achieved. 
Upset and tired of continuing nonsense waiting.  

Дякую!! 

Hellooooooooooo to my dear March Whiners - from Virginia!

So now I finally came back and found our thread closed! We made the server kneel - heck yeah, that rocks!

Sooooo I noticed I got searched - here I am!

I had to manage the clearing of my place and had sold my iMac beginning September, so I wasn't really online anymore, since I hate doing stuff like this here on the iPhone.

Long story short - I made it!

The goodbyes at home were harder than expected, many tears with my (former) coworkers, my mom and my closest friends. I"ve spent my last nights in Germany in my favorite city on this planet - beloved Hamburg - and flew out from there. My POE was last Friday at Boston Logan Airport.

The Immigration in Boston was a little awkward. Seems like the IO are all more grumpy the later it gets. I had to wait long at the Immi, then got escorted to the obligatory Secondary and sat there waiting again for a felt eternity. It was just weird. I wasn't nervous, but it just felt awkward to sit and wait so long (felt long at least).
But in the end it turned out good, and after about an hour I could collect my luggage and leave with my passport.

It kind of irritated me that the officer just doodled with a ball pen on this sticker we all have worked and waited for sooooo long and now it's useless

Yeah, well! As you can tell:
Scott has really came to Richmond/VA to pick me up, haha! The iron rake from Germany has arrived and is very happy to be united with my perfect match. 
Daily routine has already caught up. He had to work again on Monday already, works 15pm to 1am, so I'm home with the cats and trying to make a home out of this bachelors household.
To be honest - I haven't left the house without him yet. Everything is so far away; no walking distances, and I don't have a car yet. But that's fine for now. The crazy man got me a very new and shiny MacBook for my birthday, so I'm back online trying to catch up!

For the "formal" part: We'll go for my SSN tomorrow, he added me to his cell phone plan today, so I got my US simcard. His leave got confirmed for the last week of October/first week of November, so we will probably head out to his family in Utah in the middle of that time and make a road trip to Vegas to get married!

And last but not least:
Not a crazy POE pic, but a selfie right after we hugged hello! I'll keep this pic forever, because it's not only a selfie - it's the arrival after the biggest journey of my life so far! <3

To all on here that still know me, to those who don't: Good luck for all of you, congratulations to all approvals and progresses! It's so great to have the back of this community - and of course especially the Anonymous March Whiners, which I'm a proud part of!

Congratulations! 
Happy and bright news of the day!  
Wish you to have the soonest interview day available and visa approval!  

Hello Marchers,
 
Just posting a lil update: we got instructions from the US Embassy in Sweden and the tracker is in the much sought after, "Ready" mode  !!  Just yesterday I called and they said it was in "Administrative Processing" so this was super fast and unexpected.  Not sure when it had time to leave the NVC, even!
 
We were projecting that best case scenario, we'd maybe get the instructions Friday, so needless to say this is a lovely surprise!
 
Fiance has scheduled a doctor appointment and is trying to get his military records and birth certificate in English (anyone have experience with this?).  Hopefully it's not too hard or time-consuming.  We're submitting the DS-160 this weekend and scheduling the interview!  I heard that for Sweden they only do K-1s on Thursdays, so it might be tough to get one soon.
 
Anyway, super excited about this!  This is an immigration pace I can get behind hehe, hurray for State Department!
 
Hope y'all are doing great!
 
If anyone is still waiting on your NOA2, take heart in knowing that once you get your approval, things will go really fast apparently.

Seems to be lots of consulates that only do K-1s on certain days. The US Consulate in Montreal, Canada only does them Wednesday mornings. 

Oh no, you're still waiting  it's gotta be soon now.  Has to be!!

Come on NOA2 and anyone else still waiting. March 13th NOA1 was not a good day to be a part of.

I feel like I've been kicked out of my home.  LOL.  Guess we'll have to get cozy here.

Paul passed his medical!! That hurdle is finally over... interview Monday! I wish everyone the best of luck!!

Well, sorry, but you are wrong this time. I've taken a quick look at the instructions to make sure I'm not forgetting to take with me anything that I might need there, and actually I'm taking care of getting a sworn translation of my birth certificate in the next days... But that's it.
 
Honestly, I need a break. It's hard being the beneficiary, and also having to do basically all the petitioner's work. I'm focusing more on the moving right now and then in the most practical things first, like getting a phone number, my SSN, arranging my finances... And yes, I also think I'm supposed to get married or something silly like that... 

Preparing AOS is one of the things that helped me pass the time when we were waiting for our NOA2   Then they went and changed the I485 form!! For the new I-485 form the G-1145 is no longer needed.  For K01 filers just need to include the DS-3025 vaccine report and the I-693 in not required.  For the I-864, I basically did the same documents over that I had for the I-134 - taxes, pay stubs and letter of employment.  I also included a copy of the NOA2 from our I-129F and a few pictures from our wedding. 
 
I am so glad to see a lot of March folks getting closer and closer to the final steps!! 

Been reading up on AOS from K1.  Is it really as simple as the guide makes it sound?  I know @Alysia&Luis filed it promptly after, and I am sure @Estibaliz probably already has them filled out and printed  
 
From what I am reading, the evidence needed is just the Marriage License, 3 yrs of Taxes to show >125% of poverty, a NOA2, I-94, Birth Certificate, copy of whole passport, some passport pics, the vaccination record???, and the I forms 485, 864, 765, 131, 1145.  Kinda confused on the I-693 and the vaccinations part of this - but everything else looks like it is documents we already have because of doing the k1.....
 
Anyone else been looking this far ahead???

Today is the day for my fiancee's interview! I'm so excited and nervous lol. Pray for us that her visa will be approved  
 
 

She got her visa in the mail today. All that's left is the plane ride! 19 days until she's here. 

I was a Jan 17th filer and just this Friday received an RFE, I had made 2 inquiries both saying the basic generic answer that it will be processed in the order its received. It wasn't unitl I contacted my local congressman did I than receive and RFE. Now the RFE came already and the Congressman hasn't gotten back to me yet, but I was very persistent calling his office and he actually called or inquired twice about it. Than a few days later after 8 months I get an RFE, maybe coincidence but I think it was definitely influenced by his presence.

Hello, I just want to ask, I filled the from I-129F not yet married, on Feb/15/2017, to bring my fiancé, we get engaged and we are waiting for this visa! Why we didn't get approved yet? Can you help me or explain me why! 7 months and going to be 8 and nothing yet, it is normal time to get approved?
explain, all documents they require which are necessary we sent!

Have you submitted an inquiry with USCIS yet? You are outside normal processing times at this point. You really should have whomever is the petitioner call USCIS and have them start an inquiry.

I did not show any ID at all for neither my son or I when we flew from CPH to STK. But your DL
