Congratulations to all recent approvals. Praying for those still waiting.

I'm sorry I haven't been around to update the spreadsheets as I started a new job and well my life just became super chaotic/busy and I am not around here much. The spreadsheet settings were changed so that others can make changes, so I hope you will feel free to do so.

If there's anyone who wants to step up and take charge...that would be great.

Super pressed for time daily right now. I haven't forgotten all of you here. Praying for everyone.

Naturalized citizen since September 2018

Let me tell your folks it is one hassle and a half once you get to the NVC stage. Me and my husband's case was approved at USCIS back in January 2014 after an expedite approval at their office and NVC didn't start looking at our case until February. Finally after nearly six weeks of FedExing documents back and forth to my husband and also the Visa Center are case is finally being reviewed and taking on average about 30 business days to complete our file before we will get an embassy appointment from Egypt. So just be prepared hold on to your patience and keep your head up. Everything works out always in the end :rolleyes:

I really hope nobody answers this question: is anyone still waiting for NOA2 from July 2013?

If anybody is still waiting, don't feel too bad, I was approved Feb 26 and still nothing at the NVC stage. No progress at all (no case # yet).

I'm still hanging on in here. Been RFE for weeks now.

My silver lining was that the NVC stage might go quicker, but it seems that's a false promise I've given myself. :(

They have been taking more than a month after they receive the approved case to generate a case number. After that, things seem to be quicker if all docs and payments are done in a timely manner.

We have researched exactly what we need, and have all the funds sitting ready to pay the AOS and IV fee's, all paperwork completed (signed, not dated) and filed ready to add our barcodes and send in, so once we get our case number we hopefully can make up for some lost time.

Hope you get your case number soon!!!

So, is anyone else still waiting, or did I win the last man standing game?

Don't be surprised if once approved and your petitions get to NVC to get your case # right away.

It happened many times. LoveMyTico is a good example for that!!!!

Good luck

I'm still waiting. No RFE or movement at all since the transfer to CSC. I filled a SR on march 10th with no reply so I contacted my senator and got a letter Friday that they have inquired about our case and will let us know what they find out.
