Hey guys, sorry been gone for a while, construction at the house so been crazy busy.... got my formal letter from NVC... "The NVC has recently recieved an approved I-129F petition filed on behalf of your fiance. This letter is to let you know that within a week the petition will be forewarded to the appropriate visa-issuing post where your visa interview will take place"... bla bla bla....

Guys, is it safe to assume that this is a good thing?.... I was reading some horror stories in another forum... someone had typed that they were calling NVC for the past 5 weeks, and kept being told they were in "administrative processing"....This doesnt seem like a pre-printed letter, so do you think they will ACTUALLY send it within a week, or is there still a chance that I could be stuck in administrative processing?... Was there anyone you guys know that got stuck in processing for an extended period of time? Thanks for taking the time to read and answer. Hope you guys are having a good week.

You should call them for sure that your file has been sent to your consulate. I received letter in 01-12 (01-08 sent) that NVC got it in 01-05. I called them in 01-12, they told me my case was in AP. I received 2nd letter in 01-16 (01-13 sent) stated the same. I called today and my case still in AP.

Call them for sure.

I keep reading your posts and I can't figure out what "AP" means.....

I am really hoping for you, but somehow I dont think he will get an answer. He is in DC, and your case is not, so I doubt you get an answer, but maybe just being there and explaing the situation will cause them to push the service center or make an inquiry. The service centers report to DC, so maybe they wont like being called by "their boss". Then hopefully no Additional Pain for you!

Well we will get some sort of answer considering that nearly 6 months in we still dont have a NOA1, or a case number.......

The only way we have every recieved info from USCIS (if you look at my timeline in my sig) is when Chris has been to their DC office to visit.

Awww, Chris and Mara :(. Are you planning a large wedding? Surely your guests will understand if things are postponed (fingers crossed that they're not!). The most important thing is that you'll be spending the rest of your life with him! The party is just the celebration. :)
