Hello! So I already had my interview two days ago, now i checked the status online it says “application received” what does that mean???? 

Did it ever change from that? Ours just switched to “application received”. The interview was yesterday and they said they were approving it. 

Woohoo ours is now in transit also!

10 Business days after receipt at NVC and then call everyday but just once and the best time is in the evening.

I like this second answer better than the first.   thanks!

We're in a similar boat - our case has been there since July 2nd, but I think that's still pretty standard. As frustrating as this is, I don't think there's any reason for us to be worried yet. Maybe this will be our week! 

Fingers crossed it is! 

We’ve been stuck “at NVC” since July 06. At what point do you think I should I start calling?

Blue ribbon at the top of this page. Select the "portal" and search for your embassy portal.

Thank you!! 

Does anyone know where to find the “embassy portal” for Amsterdam, NL? I can’t seem to find it.  thanks in advance!

😁 actually I’m Indonesian... bet you’ve never heard of that country  before. 

I heard some of october filers didn’t even get ‘approved’ in either websites but straight received letter from uscis. I do hope that was the case for early november filers. Just don’t lost hope.

Who hasn’t heard of Indonesia? What a condescending comment.

Ohhhhh man. We got our NOA1 on Nov 20. A few days earlier and things may have been different... Ahhh what a game. 

Ha - I’ve been thinking the same thing. Ours was received on nov 15. If I had just waited one more day to mail it!

Well if you leave a forum to only 1 months filers the information and experiences doesn't flow. So basically you would get no info from previous filers.

 

but I'd advice to check timelines. Most people here (and if not please everyone do it) would fill their timelines  

 Ah yeah, good idea. Thanks for clarifying!

I'm a September filer

And that’s what I was missing. Confusing when the November forum isn’t just for November filers.

Yep! I'm so hoping most people with less k1 to get faster dates... especially as everyone is stuck and spread into the year even more than normal I believe it will be easier to get dates.

 

 

so yeah I am famous for 3 things here... 1 is good that I do the scans, 2 is I am counting towards me quitting my job and  not noa2 (96 days left!!!) 3 If someone mentions food I eat...... cupcakes muffins bring it on... this process is creating lots of buff guys (as most are working out during the wait) and wedding dresses we won't get into as brides (bring me the sugar)

Sorry maybe I’m just confused. How are you expecting a NOA2 by April? We submitted in early November also and aren’t expected to get the NOA2 until the end of May or beginning of June, now.

I still couldn't kill the positive in me hehe so I'm expecting noa2 by April and NVC to get shorther to less than a month and embassy staff here in japan moves quickly as long as you can get that interview date. So I'm still hoping visa on hand end of May and entry in July. But moved the wedding to August just in case...

 

but to be realistic with the new timelines would mean: noa2 if no rfe is April 15 at 210 days, NVC if it still takes 60 days would mean june 15 ish and visa on hand somewhere in July.... boy does this make me wanna cry....

It's 1:00am, nobody I know is awake and this was exciting... so I had to share it with people who totally get it.

I just got the bank notification popup that my application fee check hit my bank account!

I haven't heard about NOA1 yet or anything, but this means they have it and are doing something with it.

 

 

PS - Anyone have an idea for what case number the November cases start at?

Do you know what day your petition was delivered?

Packet mailed today!
