UPDATE: Tier 2 officer called us back. It was not rejected, she was also confused as to why the first person would say that. Phew! Case is still on track and pending.

I just called the USCIS, the tier one agent quoted processing Feb, so I requested a tier 2 agent and I just received the call back from Oscar who said, "Congratulations, your application was approved yesterday." I could not speak at first and tears started flowing down my cheeks. Thank you everyone, today is my birthday, what an awesome gift!

Hi February family. Does anyone have an idea of how long NVC takes to send petitions to Embassy after assigning a case number? NVC received my petition on June 19. I called and obtained my case number on June 21. Now just wondering how long they will hold it before they send it out to my Embassy in Johannesburg.

Hey guys. My fiance (beneficiary) and I are currently waiting for our application to arrive at the American embassy in Johannesburg. We have only a week or so and really want to hit the ground running when it gets there.
 
What should we expect Packet 3 to ask us for? I saw an old thread where it's supposedly one, large online form now? But I also heard I'll need to send him an updated "intent to marry" letter. Is that still true? Does it need to be fresh ink signature and I snail mail it over (because booooo, if so)?

Can anyone give any insight as to what we can prepare before we get packet 3? And is there a packet 4?

Thanks!

Hello everyone! I sent in my forms April 7th from South Africa, but just mailed them from here directly to the dropbox since I am only here on a visitors visa and couldn't do direct consular filing. Just got my receipt sent to my family in the US that everything was accepted, and am very excited to get the process started!! Glad to have this group for support  I sent my folder from South Africa on the 7th and my check got cashed in Texas on the 13th. Now its been sent to California, is that weird since I am from Pennsylvania? 

Welcome and good luck with the whole process. And lots of patience! 
 
Apparently now they send all the K1 petitions to the California Service Center, so don't worry, it's perfectly normal.
