January filers VSC lottery, who gets the jackpot next?

[TRELAWNY PARISH 10]

THAT'S GREAT NEWS...come on JANUARY filers!

[Sal and Jay 2]

So this morning I woke up and checked my status and no change - I get to work and decide, what the heck I'll feed the urge and check again. I burst into tears when I saw this:

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On March 30, 2008, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.

I can't even describe how shocked I am. I for sure thought we'd be waiting longer.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND PRAYERS!!!! I do hope this is a sign that VSC will start cranking them out again this week and no one will be left waiting.

woohoo congrats

Let's give some SEXY DANCE for LIAM & SAMANTHA , NOA 2: 3-30-2008

VSC, Pls keep them coming!!!!

for those who are still waiting: Never let go of HOPE. One day you will see that it has finally come together. What you have always wished for has finally come to be. You will look back and laugh at what has passed and you will ask yourself... 'How did I get through all of that?'

What would we do without you!!! I had no idea how good it would feel to see our name move on that list!!!

By the way, Amanda+Stephen - how were you able to tell your case left VSC?? Now I'm frantically gathering up all information related to the next step... I am sooo ready to get this show on the road!!

[dbears 1]

The waiting list keeps staying at 21 because there is additional member: Anne and Drew... last time it was Casper & Nichole. Welcome guys! I hope you could really drop by any of the 3 january threads and introduce yourselves

I removed the number of waiting period on the list because it doesn't matter now who gets it fastest, what matter is that we all get it sooner or later.

to those who are still waiting: STAY STRONG! It is coming very very very very very soon!

Around half of the members still waiting haven't visited VJ in well over a month. (Going by the 'last visited' date on their profile). Hopefully many of those members have been approved but simply haven't updated their timeline.

Just try calling NVC in a couple of days, say after 3 days.

Call them at (603) 334-0700, 1, then 5. They will ask for info on the petitioner and benefiary, such as the beneficiary's name and date of birth, and your case number. You cannot use the automated system to check K-1 Visas as they do not load these into their automated system. You must speak with a customer service representative.

I am crossing my fingers and toes that would be the case.

psiprez & others who are still active: Get you NOA2 this week! And may CSC start approving January filers already.

As Gaye stated, just called the NVC - basically, my file was touched the day after approval (from USCIS site), I assumed that was the day it left for NVC, because never updated on the USCIS site again. I was going to call 2 days later, but I figured they had probably just received it (and that was Good Friday) so I waited and called on Monday and gave the USCIS case number and answered the other questions (beneficiary name and DOB) and the man informed me it had arrived on Friday and couldn't tell me anything else, he suggested calling back in a week. I called back on Tuesday, and a woman informed me it was leaving the NVC that day. I'd say give it two days, and then call. Then using the posts here about DHL, we were able to track our package (it was the only one going to Frankfurt all last week!)

And then the unfortunate part, we had hoped packet 3 would come while I was still visiting, so we could do the forms together. We left to catch the train to Cologne on Saturday around noon. My flight was yesterday morning. Anyhow, when he got back home, he had Packet 3 waiting for him ... so now I'm busy scrambling to get things filled out on my end that I need to send him. If only had been one day sooner!!

Anyhow, calling the NVC is a breeze, but do it either early in the morning or late at night East Coast time ... otherwise it will loop you through the automated system once and then pass you back, and tell you all representatives are busy and then hang up on you

It all starts moving a lot faster now .... so happy for you!!!

Congratulations! I hope this is a sign of another busy week!

This will help you track your case from NVC to USEM

[KitEEgirl 0]

Congratulations!! See good things happen to those who wait

You'll definitely have something celebrate on your trip in May

So this morning I woke up and checked my status and no change - I get to work and decide, what the heck I'll feed the urge and check again. I burst into tears when I saw this:

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On March 30, 2008, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.

I can't even describe how shocked I am. I for sure thought we'd be waiting longer.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND PRAYERS!!!! I do hope this is a sign that VSC will start cranking them out again this week and no one will be left waiting.

Thanks for all the replies on what to do next!!! Knowing that in a week our case could potentially be flying over the ocean to its final destination is comforting. Things do indeed speed up from this point forward.

I know it's a bit far fetched but we would love love to go to Sydney together for the interview when I'm down there in May. I'm not relying on it, but it would definitely be a nice way to end the process.

Thanks again.

That actually doesn't seem too far-fetched!

From what I read on the embassy website, it takes about a month from NVC receiving the package to the interview date. I'd just make sure all the preliminary stuff is done, like police certificate, etc...and that you are ready to have packet 3 mailed back very quickly!
