Mike&Anna

Just wanted to give an update: we had the best experience possible, our officer was one of the nicest people I've ever met! She didn't look at ANYTHING we brought.

you're so sweet!
 
Thank you! That is indeed a big relief. I am going to call Uscis tomorrow and mention that, I'm also going to call the place where I got my medical done.

MY INTERVIEW WAS SCHEDULED TODAY!
I’m so excited, happy and nervous! I can’t wait work, travel and get a permit! 
There’s hope folks! I was hoping for my EAD, I didn’t even think it’d be possible to be scheduled so “early”! Yay!

The timelines on this site are solely based on the data that the users input.  So if people on this site are getting approved and NOT updating their profiles then the VJ site thinks that nobody is getting approved and there is a processing delay and will base your estimate on the dates of the last approval.  The data on this site can be good at times but i feel it is most accurate for 129/130 forms as well as other long wait visa types.  Right now my updated estimated date for EAD is October 5th however i am confident that it will be approved well before then.  Last time i called USCIS they said they are currently processing EAD's as of October 15th 2018.  Meaning that if you applied ON OR BEFORE October 15th 2018 then you are allowed to request a "Case Inquiry"  which basically means they will stop and look for your application and push it through.  I find that usually they are already approving applications 3 months after this date, so in this case they should be already be working on applications from Mid- Jan to Early Feb.  Although we see approvals before and after this date i feel that the bulk of case workers are working on 2019 applications already.  I still have hope for June but it seems that July will be the month for Feb applications.  Just remember this is all going to be worth it in the end and through the struggles and frustration we will all have a sense of accomplishment when we reach the finish line.  
 
Good luck to all still waiting.
 
 

Why are you so annoyed about the fact that we're  waiting too? What other word did you want us to you? We ARE waiting and we are NOT bitching about it. Your comment is very much uncalled for. 

What have you guys been up to lately, since most of us still cant work?
 
I hope we'll all hear back soon. Good Vibes ♥

Does anyone know why it's taking so long for EAD/AP?
We have been scrutinized upon K1 approval... What else is taking so long? Can't they just log our info in, print it out and mail it? haha.

That's such a sweet reply, thank you for taking time out of your life to share your story + make me feel better. It's much appreciated! 
I feel a little better knowing that you're confident!

Best of luck with your interview! It's such a big step forward!  

In the past I've seen it be about 2 weeks. If you're a K1 applicant, you should join our K1 FB group for italian people!

Totally know what you mean!

Just like Nicola and Jordan said, she/he is talking about their individual case and people are WELL AWARE others are waiting and it probably doesn’t feel the best. There’s no need for that patronising comment tbh.

Just an update: 
Our case left NVC on Tuesday and, going by the DHL trick I found on here it was received 10 minutes ago! Yay! CEAC is still (obviously) saying "In Transit".

I managed to get an appt this morning for my medical - yay! So that's all done. I booked my interview for the 14th of december but if I get all I need before then, I'll see if I can have an earlier date!
Exciting and scary!

Grazie ❤️ E' un po' un emotional rollercoaster al momento haha

My case has officially been sent to London, England and not to Italy. 

Could someone direct me to a link/page/discussion to get an idea on what the required info/documents are in London? I have been preparing for the italian interview so I'm a bit overwhelmed and lost.

We got our Case Number today!
NOA2 - October 10 
NVC Receive - Oct 31
 
One question:

I'm Italian but I currently live in London. When we filed the petition I pUt as preferred Embassy London, not knowing that I would move back to Italy to gather my documents. Well, I'm leaving in 29 days and my case number starts with LDN... 
I sent an email to NVC with my passport copies as well to prove my citizenship and ask for my case to be sent to Naples (as the NVC person suggested) but I was wondering if anyone knows how long this might delay things for us? 
we're aware I might still have to go to London after all!
