AbTb

We had our interview today at the Abu Dhabi embassy and we were approved!! 
 

Good Morning,
 
My fiance had the interview in Buenos Aires and was approved.  She should get here in the next 4 weeks or so.  First week of September.

Congrats on the interview and im sure it will be a positive outcome

Hey guys! Just wanted to share some insights on our end. Our NOA2 was April 6, 2023. We dont have an excat date as to when the Embassy recieved our case from NVC but I would assume it was around June 15-20, 2023 as thats when, via inquiry, we were provided our case number. July 6, 2023- our case was marked "ready" for interview. 
Our interview date is August 24, 2023 ( praying really hard 🙏 for a positive outcome) 
My Fiancé is an Indian national but has been residing and working in Dubai, UAE for the past 4.5 years hence we got our interview scheduled at Abu Dhabi . Had it been in India, it would have been a mess because the backlogs are excessive there. So excessive that a couple that got married in December 2019, spouse came back to the States and filed for their Spouse in February 2020, still has no insight on when their interview can be scheduled in India. 
 

We also recieved the same today. Our NOA2 was April 6. So the "almost" 90 day wait time from NOA2 to NVC case creation stands true.

Finally 'In Transit'. I got a message form NVC that my case was being transfer to beneficiary's US embassy. Transfer is suppose to be on July 4th and 5th since 4th is a holiday. I think they mailed the case today on July 3rd. 

I sent an inquiry to the NVC and was advised that they are currently backlogged by atleast 60 days and growing. I was told that they havent even recieved my case from the USCIS, which I would assume is the case for everyone. 

We got approved today!!! 

I just got an approve ( I was sent an email )

Yay for our approvals!

Congrats everyone!!

A few helpful NVC links:
 
 NVC phone number is  (603)334-0888

They are answering through the below email :

Once you’ve received your NVC case number you can track your case online using the following link, until it is sent to your embassy:

If you need to submit an inquiry, change an address , or need to update your info in anyway NVC also has a public inquiry form where you can submit your request as well as other requests:
 
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html
 
 
Also, inside the attached PDF below are a few tips, tricks and hacks to help you along the way.

NVC sends petitions to the embassy every two weeks on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. A FB group has created a shipping chart for 2023 that you can use to track when the next shipment date will be. It seems to line up with all the dates I’ve seen so far so I think it’s accurate and will include it below.

Finally
No1 28 Feb 2021
No2 23 Feb 2023

For those that were following my request for initial evidence error. It's confirmed an error. I reported it to USCIS over the phone last week. Today I received a letter from USCIS stating the request for evidence of a I-130 was indeed an error on their part.

I'd love to report that they processed tons of cases today..... but ....
The scan for today isn't very interesting (20 Feb 2023 Activity seen with my scan)
 
Changes on February 18 2023: 25 - One Denial and mostly RFEs
Changes on February 20 2023: 10
 
Dec 1-3       Monday (10 items)
Dec 6-10     3 RFEs  /   1 Withdrawal
Dec 13-17   1 RFE   /   2 Name Updates
Dec 20-24   1 RFE   /   1 Denial
Dec 27-31   1 RFE 
 
So basically the same as Friday of last week ....
(plus a few RFEs seen on  Saturday reported before,
otherwise for december, nada.)

Plenty of posts to review to get your question answered from a number of perspectives.  
The short answer, is the USCIS is totally inconsistent at this point in where they process and how many they process ... 
It jumps all over the place.
 
This was last weeks "status" for opening cases that had never been touched before ...
As you can see, it is all over the place.

 
Check your date here (don't log in just use your case number)
https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do
If ... and I stress if it is actually Dec 18 or 19 as shown here, send me a DM and I will look into it.
Way too many people (even the USCIS itself) confuse receipt date with Notice Date.
My USCIS even shows two different dates depending if I log in or not.
