st to give you an idea of our case and what happened. 

May 10, 2018- submitted

May 15, 2018- NOA1

Nov. 17,  2018 REI

NOV 21, 2018 Received our Additional evidence (I over night it)

Dec. 11, 2018 Approved

Jan. 4, 2019 NVC has case

Jan. 8 2019 Told in AP at NVC

Jan. 21 2019 sent to Santo Domingo Embassy

Make appointments, Feb 5 VAC appointment and March 5 consulate

Feb. 18, 2019 Medical appointment completed

Feb. 26, 2019 picks up sealed medical records

March 5, 2019 told visa approved, receives conditional approval letter

March 6, 2019 status changes on CEAC to AP

March 8, 2019 status changes to issued

One thing to recognize is they will switch your status from immigrant visa to non-immigrant. So the entire time from when it is assigned a case number by NVC you check it under immigrant status, but once the appointment ends and they change it within the system it will then be under the non-immigrant

USA Travel docs still shows her passport at the embassy. So she will hopefully be picking up her passport and package this week. 

March 30th flight to USA! Finally. 

I hope this helps for people that get concerned by the PA status you get told you're in at NVC and when it switches to AP after your consulate appointment. I too was worried. 

Oh for financial docs I included letter from my employer as instructed on i-134. Last two pay stubs to show I am still employed there. I included, probably unnecessarily, my last 3 years of tax transcripts. Also I i included the letter from my bank about when account opened, deposit total, balance, etc. 

We didn't need anything more. 

At her appointment not a lot was asked of her. They asked about my work, how long we have known each other, about our son, my other son, and how long we spoke before I visited, etc. Not too much. That said, we had already established citizenship for our son through that same embassy and that document was included. So not sure if her experience was typical or easier, as a result. 

Good luck to everyone as you continue your journey. It seems endless, but it will eventually get here. Three weeks left after waiting 10 months. It will be very sweet and we are looking forward to it

I bought my 1st wife to America on a K1 Visa and we have been divorced now for one year and me and her sister have connected over the time and I would like to file for a K1 Visa for her to come to America to get married is that possible???

My NOA 2 came Dec. 11th or was sent out then. I called the NVC right after Christmas and told us they did not have it yet and could take 60 days...I called today and she provided me a NVC number and invoice number. Then told me it was in admin processing and there was no time frame. I asked if that it meant it would be taking longer than normal and had been pulled out for extra scrutiny, she told me no, but there was no time frame. I asked if I should check in after a certain amount of time if I do not hear from them. She just kept repeating the same thing, no time frame I said okay well I will call to check in if we don't hear from you guys. I also asked if the embassy would reach out once the case had been forwarded to them and she said she wasn't sure but I might want to call them because each is different. 

I feel somewhat fortunate because we already have a relationship with the embassy to some extent. Our son was born there in September so we had to go through them to have him granted American citizenship. I wrote them an email today to inquire. 

I just don't want the case to sit too long at NVC. That's my worry. We waited since May 10th already.
