Wooo! Our file arrived at NVC!!! Just today! NOA2 May 17, so this was 17 regular days or exactly 10 BUSINESS DAYS, like they say. Got our case number too, but it's not shipped out yet, so I'll call back in another couple days to make sure it's moved on. But it's a HUGE relief, I was starting to worry since so many had already gotten through.


My heart leapt when the lady asked for date of birth and names, because every call before then had just stopped after giving my WAC number. I knew when she asked for date of birth that there was good news, and I could hardly contain my excitement! :)


Hopefully it's all smooth sailing from here. I have the I-134 stuff ready, my fiance has updated his vaccinations and we're ready to book his medical exam (we were waiting on case number to do that), and I will be flying over to visit him for 37 days at the end of June. I hope to be there for his interview, though of course it's not required, I'd just like to be there for moral support -- and to hug him afterwards! :D

Ok, so when we called the NVC yesterday, they said that they sent our application to the embassy on May 31st and we will call them back next week and hopefully they will be ready to give us our new case number. What will the petitioner do after getting the new case number? Will the embassy email the beneficiary for the things to be prepared?

I'm lost!! the NVC told us that they sent our file to the US embassy in Jakarta on May 31st and they said that the embassy will give them our new case number. You have your case number, have the NVC send your file to the embassy where your fiancé lives?
