Same for me as well. Hopefully it gets fixed now that the weekend is over.

We just got it all done in the same week. Medical Monday and Tuesday, Interview Thursday and CFO Friday.  

Hank's advice on not arriving for the medical before dawn is sound, She went on Monday at 8am and was done with the first day by 11am. 2nd day she arrived at 8am and was out the door with the paperwork by 10:30am.

Just as an update to this, The NBI clearance center at the Robinson's near the embassy refused to issue an AKA for punctuation and said that the Embassy would not make an issue of it.  They were correct as the interview went without a hitch.

Thanks for the reassurance. She has never used another name on any official documents so I think we should be okay.

Really appreciate your site as well, so helpful to have all that information aggregated together in one place.

Thanks again!

So her first name is shown as Maria on her birth certificate and passport along with Ma. (with a period) ?    

 

She will want to get her NBI with an AKA for other names used and list the other variation of her name.

No, sorry for not being more clear, her passport and other documents have her first name as Ma but on the birth cert they added the period after the a.  Just wondering if that is significant enough to warrant an AKA necessary. 

Thanks for your response

Hello all, 

Looking for a bit of advice here. 

My fiance's first name is Maria, but abbreviated as Ma on all of her documents aside from her birth certificate where it is listed as Ma. with a period. Do you this this minor change would warrant an AKA on her Nbi clearance? Really want to avoid getting a 221g and delaying things further. 

Any insight is greatly appreciated. 

Thank you! 

My Case changed to "Ready" on CEAC this morning as well, but according to DHL, it just left Cincinnati this morning 😁. Ill choose the believe the State Dept haha

I used those dates, too, but I only get an error message.

Try using EXP 06 AUG 2019A. It may need the 0 there.

what did you guys fill in in the DHL tracker? EXP 6 AUG 2019A doesn't work for me😬

I expanded the dates to from the 5th to the 7th.  DHL shows they received the shipment information on the 7th

DHL tracking is working for me now as well. Hope it ships out soon!

I am interested to know this as well as my fiance is a govt employee currently and will be quitting prior to emigrating.  She was denied leaving the Philippines on a trip to Thailand with me back in February due to not having a travel authority.

Well, that was quick. Received 7/24, Case number assigned 7/26. Just waiting for Aug 6th now.

It shouldn't. . .😉

 

Per my post above -

 

They told me that as well, but then asked what type of visa I was applying for. When I said “K1”, the response he gave me was “oh, those are processed much faster, call back again next week to check on a case #”. 

 

Call again next week and good luck!

Thank you and good luck to you as well!

Ah well, you never know, but I think they are trying to cover their back in case things wouldn't go quickly. 

If they tell you it might be 8 weeks and in the end you will have waited 5 business days, won't you be pleasantly surprised? I guess better than the other way around! 

 

My case arrived at the NVC yesterday as well, so let's hope we get a case nr by the end of the next week, deal?  Well, I'm gonna call them tomorrow, coz you never know...

I agree, always better to under promise and over deliver.  Hoping for good news for all of us soon!

Called this morning and was told our case was received yesterday. Progress!  Really hope it doesnt take the 8 weeks they advised to be assigned a case number...

Glad to be joining you all here, got our NOA2 on June 25th.

Super happy to get our NOA2 in the mail today. NOA1 March 12, NOA2 June 25. Websites must be lagging as they both show as petition received. 

On to the next step, best of luck to everyone still waiting! 

Informed delivery says I have a letter from USCIS coming today, can see page 1 of 1 in the window. Hoping for good news!
