Congrats!!!!!!

Did anyone's case get shipped to their embassy on 11/8/22? I have not seen any updates. I'm a June 2021 filer and my NOA2 is August 24th. I am beyond frustrated at this point. I will be at the 90-day mark by the time the next shipment arrives.

NVC does ship cases every two weeks on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but I heard that K1 petitions are only sent on Tuesdays. From the FB and WhatsApp groups I'm in, as well as VJ, it seems like they shipped very little cases today. Hopefully, they do send some tomorrow, but I have very little hope.

I'm the same as you. My NOA2 is August 24th and NVC received my case around Oct 4th. No case number yet. 😔

Thank you!!

Try emailing NVCResearch again, or call USCIS to see when they shipped your petition out. I also submitted an inquiry through the portal on 9/15/22 and TSGSystem barely replied on Friday stating that I will be notified once the case is forwarded to the Embassy.

Congrats!!!!

Since you are also going through the Ankara embassy, did they email or mail Packet 3 to you? I'm the Petitioner, and I know they will send packet 3 to my fiance, but his email address wasn't included in the I-129F.

Most people are being contacted via email, but someone I know told me that they were only notified by mail, which was frustrating to them because it turned out that their case had already been in transit for over 2-3 weeks.

I can't even imagine how much harder it is for you two, especially since you have a daughter. They should expedite cases in those instances. When we applied back in June 2021, I thought the wait times were gonna get better, not worse! I, too, regret not going the marriage route. I was actually living with my fiance in Turkey and came back to the U.S. in January 2022 because I stupidly assumed we would be done by May 2022. Ugh, I really hope your petition gets shipped tomorrow. I also hope Ankara opens up more interview slots because 3 months away is ridiculous! I was under the impression that the embassy wasn't backlogged.

Hey, I was thinking the same thing!! They got lucky. There are people prior to August 15th that still haven't received a case number.

My NOA2 is Aug 24th but I don't have a case number yet. Someone else from VisaJourney that recently scheduled an interview at the Ankara embassy stated that the earliest available appointments were in late January 2023. 😭 I didn't expect it to be that far away. I will also be going through the Ankara embassy.

When I called USCIS on Sept 30 (Friday), they told me that my petition's status was "ready for shipping on Sept 28." That same day I emailed NVCResearch. The following Monday, Oct 3rd, NVC responded that they did not have my petition. I emailed again on Oct 5th and they immediately replied, this time confirming that they received my petition. I don't know if the petition was received on Oct 4th exactly, but I'm assuming it was received sometime between Oct 3rd-Oct 5th.

Looks like a lot of our cases were received by NVC on Oct 4th. My NOA2 was Aug 24th. I hope our petitions all get shipped on Tuesday. 🤞🤞

Most Petitioner's receive it via email, but I know someone that received the welcome letter by mail only.
