Did you get your slots for the interview ? 
I think the process has slowed down very much!

maybe some transitions going on in the office with the new administration maybe ? 
it’s going to be 3 months next week since we got our petition approved and yet our case is “At NVC” status still. 
has anyone seen some movement or same like me ? 
 

Have you called the embassy?? I had my interview on Thursday and was approved , I was told however that it can take up to 2 weeks to get passport back.

if you have any questions about interview etc let me know, happy to help

Did you get email from Qatar US embassy ? 
it’s been almost 70 days since we got approved, yet the case is “At NVC” status... 😓

It is a bit frustrating but I think there’s nothing we can do at the moment. 
I tired to call US Embassy in Abu Dhabi, they said I will just have to wait till I get an email but no timeline or time frame.. 

no email from Qatar but checked status today and it said “case is ready for interview” so will contact the embassy tomorrow. Try and call NVC again and request an update, the transit time to arrive in Qatar took just 2 days which I’m sure will be similar to you!

I will let you know if the embassy offer any good advice that could potentially help you tomorrow.

I also got a notification for transit to the embassy today. I checked DHL and have a tracking number as well.

Awesome!

How did you manage to check DHL?

Congratulations! 
how long your case was at NVC? 
how many weeks it took to change “To Transit” 

I’m in UAE, your neighboring country 😄

Thank you!!

Nvc said they received our case on the 28th December, our NOA2 was the 2nd December..

we called and got our case number on the 22nd Jan 

Yours shouldn’t be too long as I hear the UAE are still processing visas .. best of luck!!

I have just checked my case number and our case is now in transit. Fingers crossed, things are pretty quick from here.

embassy -Qatar , doha

• I have nothing on Qatar but can send you to consulate reviews here https://www.visajourney.com/reviews/index.php?cnty=Qatar. If you get a packet 3 letter from your embassy, please share it with me so I can use it for others. Just PM me on VJ with a scanned PDF file and I'll take it from there. Thanks.
• I found this link from your embassy's website. It's always good place to go to actually know what is required for your interview. Prepare-for-Your-IV-Interview-1.pdf (usembassy.gov)
• And here is information from travel state but it is more generic in nature Nonimmigrant Visa for a Fianc(é)e (K-1) (state.gov)
• Use these tools to search for others from your country:
  
  Use the tools here in VJ to answer "when I am going to get etc. etc." question. Near your picture, there is a link to your timeline. Select it and once you're on the next page near your picture you will see "follow similar timelines" and it will populate twelve other couples who are near your dates. Scroll down and you will see a "spreadsheet" style page showing all the variables for measurement for when others from your Embassy are getting the same notice of approval or action.  Try it. It really works!
  
  And if you want to follow those from other countries that have similar timelines as yours 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.
  
  I followed those that were in my group to give me an idea where they were in processing so I could judge if I were ahead or behind.  It's pretty accurate, within a day or so.
  
  If you choose to follow those twelve members, then you will get an email every time their status updates.

Please consider giving back to the community here on VJ with a copy of the P3 letter that you will eventually receive from the embassy. Thanks, and as always Good luck and stay engaged in the process. 

Thank you so much!

I will of course share it with you

Do you by any chance have a p3 for Qatar. Thank you in advance

NOA2-2nd December

Hello April 2020 fliers,

 

I want to spread an update to give hope to everyone. Uscis received date is April 6th. I received an rfe from uscis today asking for evidence of meeting my fiancé in the last two years which I did submit in the original file I sent but it might have gotten lost in their file systems. To me, this is one of the easiest rfe you can receive Because I have the flight receipts, hotel receipts, pictures with dates, passport stamps so I will respond back and I hope to have the approval in less than 60 days after it is received.
remain hopeful my friends, you will receive great news of your own soon.

Amazing news!! Did you do an expedited application?

It doesn't matter your country of citizenship,  it matters wherever you have been for the previous 14 days 

Thank you!!

Hey guys 

quick question, I’m British with an Esta, currently waiting for our NOA2.

I live in Qatar and currently they have direct flights to the states, will they let me into the states with my Esta (Haven’t been to the U.K. since jan ) even though my country of origin is on the banned list ?

if yes, should I expect to be questioned a lot upon arrival ? 

My partner and I filled on the 25th March (my birthday ☺️) and we received our Noa 1 today.. I know we have a journey ahead but so relieved it’s finally done !!
