SAndyyy

Yes and yes, however it isn’t very helpful. The US embassy in Ghana is not straightforward and alot of people don’t even get an email so we are left to schedule the interview ourselves. A lot of people scheduled their interview within 3 months of hearing from NVC, but this is the first I’m hearing about the expiration date of the NOA2.

Hello all,
 
Just stopping by to say that I had my interview yesterday and that my visa was approved!
 

Hey guys, just wanted to update I received my NO2 on August 31 and NVC sent me an email with the following yesterday: 
 
We recently received your visa petition. We will send NVC processing instructions within 8 weeks. Please resubmit your inquiry if you have not received any information after 8 weeks. 
 
its just funny to me because this whole process is just deadlines. 5-7 months to process the application, then 45 days to hear back about your inquiry if you’re outside of processing times, then 6 weeks to transfer your case from USCIS to NVC, now 8 weeks to send out a simple email with processing instructions!!!! Really?!? If I waited 8 weeks to work on one task at my job I’d be fired. I just hope I’m not old and gray by the time this is over 😂

I don't have a copy but if you were to get one and send me a copy I would have it for someone who would process behind you. Check the Embassy's website, check the portal here VJ and try and find information from your regions sub-forum. Also, use these instructions to find others who are going through Ghana who just might have a copy and share with you.
 
There are several tools available to you. Go up to Immigration Timelines on the blue ribbon above and select it. Once you are on the next page looked to your left and you will see a box that states, "find similar timelines" and select it. A list will populate with those who are processing close to your timeline. When they start to change you will soon be behind them. Also, there is another place you can go and follow others who are processing the same time you are and for the same Embassy. Go to the blue ribbon at the top of this page and select "portals". Scroll down the left-hand side of the page till you get to VJ "your country's name" Timelines. Just below it you'll see "K-1" so you select it and out pops a window with others from your country.

One fiancé is from England. Which is extremely low risk. 
Ur statement is fare and I completely understand where ur coming from. Was trying to give some inside due to a lot of people thinking they can't visit while going thru the process.. 

The relationship between the UK and the USA is quite different because usually you can travel on your passport which acts as your visa. Those who attempt to get any other type of visa (not traveling on their passport as the visa) will struggle at best. 

2-3 weeks after approval. but please don't wait for the hard copy. Review your P3 letter from your Embassy and see what is need. Best time is now to be working on your interview preparations.

The WAC  number stays the same. And just ignore them saying it can take up to six weeks. They say that every time you call. It took my petition 20 days to get from USCIS to NVS and 1 day to get the NVC case number assigned. I would start calling again on like Sep 18 in your case. 

I'm not sure actually, I'll ask fiance to have a look today 😊 but as far as I know it should just still have the same WAC number which you'll give to NVC when you call
 
I think they usually give worse case scenario when you call so try not to get too anxious. I'm visiting my fiance in 2 weeks so we're gonna leave it until then to call NVC so it'll have been almost 3 weeks from our approval. Hopefully they'll have received our case by then and maybe even assigned us our case number 😊🤞
 

We actually received the hardcopy just now, it must've been put in the wrong mail box cos someone just slid it under my fiance's door. Didnt expect it to come that quickly!

Hi, our noa2 is Sept 4th too, i imagine the hard copy may come some time next week

I got my approval same day as well! But I had to call for it! No email or text and neither the old or new website is updated. I would have never known!
But my guess would be next week sometime

Hi guys,
 
I  called USCIS today to ask about my case and she said that we are approved! The new site updated after an hour of the phone call. I am so exited and no RFE! Looks like there was another approval here today as well! She said I have to wait for the NO2 for further instructions. I was crying happy tears. Hang in there everyone! Praying for more approvals this week!
 
225 days!
