Hi everyone,

 

Just wanted to check in and say that I’m writing this from NC! 

 

POE went absolutely fine, we landed an hour early and the sun was shining when we got here! Spent the weekend working on our house which Matt has been remodelling and tomorrow we are going to enrol Mason in school! For all of those still waiting, stay positive! It will all be worth it once you are reunited with your loved one

Congrats! and Hello from Pilot Mountain!

Interview scheduled ! I didn't think this day would ever come 

Good luck!

We never got packet 3, but they sent us a link in the email with the instructions.  It was a pretty straightforward checklist which is why it was so fast for us.  It might be country specific though.

Did you email the embassy to request this?

I come seeking wise counsel 

We want to schedule the interview. We have not paid for the interview yet. We have completed the DS-160. NVC Says "Ready". I called the embassy two times once last week and the second time just now. I asked both times when can I schedule my interview? First time it seemed like she was saying after the medical check. This time she said I can do it now!

The embassy web site says 

I was asking a couple that went through this already. They said the Packet 3 was not worth waiting for. I have tried to ask them more questions with no response 

The interview has to be in Poland so she needs a schengen visa. We need to schedule the interview to show why she is traveling there. 

I just feel like I need to be doing something

@Mike & Tuyen Did you get your "packet 3" already?

My case status on the CEAC is "Ready"! Medical is scheduled. Now just need to complete the DS-160! 

Does this ready mean the case is at the U.S. embassy now?

I know this have probably been posted so many times before, however whats the average time for the NVC to receive our petition from USCIS? We got our NOA2 on the 15th (got notified on the 18th, but says 15th on the document) and my fiance just called and the lady said that they've not receive it yet..?

About two weeks is average. We got our NOA2 on the 14th and they received it on the 28th. Definitely should be this week. I would call later in the day today or at night as they are open late.

Good luck!

Got my NVC number today ! Do I have to wait until it goes to embassy for DS-160? 

I was thinking about calling the NVC today (7 days since NOA2) because why not? but the USCIS has gave me a War Head flavor in my mind about calling anybody about my case  I think I will wait until Tuesday next week it will be 12 days.

For everybody waiting for NOA2 still don't worry it comes unexpectedly. Just plan for the next steps and be prepared!

Good Luck!

Oh wow! Im happy that you received it then.. They only suppose to do one thing right and they always mess up lol..

What I meant on my post was if anyone received any notification on the USCIS app.. Last monday I received lots of them but nothing since then.. 

I got my notification through the app on Saturday about 2:00am

Hello! Congratulations on your NOA2! I am Belarusian though i moved to live in Ukraine. I thought there was an option for Belarusians to turn to the US embassy in Kiev, Ukraine. There's no need in visa in this case. 

Here's the link to the polish embassy in Minsk http://www.minsk.msz.gov.pl/be/consular_information/visas/rodzaje/

the visa costs around 60 euros but you need to act fast - there may be a huge line of applicants there - that's one of the most popular embassies for Belarusians to receive their Schengens.

Good luck!!!

Thank you for the link! Yes, it would make since for the interview to be in Kiev. I have included the link that says that Belarus citizens have their interview in Warsaw.

That is what the USCIS  site has and says:

Your basically in my boat, little to no information about any type of interview, list, expectations (from my country) 

It sucks, but aye, got this far right.

Your right! We are almost there.

Can anyone direct me to a forum about a Schengen Visa? My fiance is from Belarus and has to go to Warsaw, Poland for the interview. There is not much information that I can find. Any and all help is appreciated!

Good Luck!

Is the current processing time (5 months average) the longest the processing time has been for K-1? If it is then I am sure more people are calling asking for updates because of the new waiting time. If they receive more unwanted calls then they would stop giving out valuable/specific information so people would stop calling because they know they would not any updates. 

Food for though!

Good Luck!

Zero approvals for VJ members date 9/12 yesterday and so far zero approvals for today NOA 2's for 9/13.

We had 7 on 9/11

I guess they are done for the week  (please CSC prove me wrong, very wrong)

 

http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/monthly_filers.php?form=1&visa=1&scenter=1&option=3&sortby=2

That is correct given the information that we have. Maybe the tracker is not working and there will be surprises in the mail. I am sure the approved parties just have not told us yet 

Life and death are in the power of the tongue (Fingers too?). We speak (Type in this case) life and a flood of approvals from the CSC!

Our time is coming!

I like what somebody else put #LoveWins. Im not sure who it was but give credit to them for that lol

Good Luck!

After these horrible weeks of waiting we finally got an answer. Not the one we wanted though... so sad to get a RFE  it was on sep 7. Our noa1 is april 19

Did you find out through the mail? 

RFE means they have looked at your case. Of course anyone would rather an approval, but you can get that sent back and be approved next week! 

We are also April 19th but have not heard anything. 

Good Luck!

Day 142 

Is today THE day??

Hello April filers, 

 

we are May filers, did anyone of you here get an update for NOA2? 

 

We haven't heard anything yet and we're hoping it will come soon. 

 

 

Thank you! 

There have been a lot of NOA2s that have been given out. The Lastest I have saw was the 24th, but there are still several throughout the month that are still waiting and even some from march and February. Looks like around days 140-150 is the time of approvals. 

Good Luck.

What should I be expecting first: text, case update, NOA2 in mail? Kinda stumped...

Only expect for it in the mail. Anything else is a cherry on the pie.

Just now, JD2925 said:

April 14th NAO1 received by mail.  

They are working on and around your case, Its hard to say when they will work on it as they are still February and March filers waiting on their approvals. Could be today or much later. 

Good Luck!
