Hey November TSC filers, we just received our NOA2. We're October filers, so I'd expect y'all waiting for an NOA2 to expect a month from now (We were the 15th of Oct, so I'd say sooner if you're early November). Hang in their guys, took us 4 months and 2 weeks and it was completely worth the wait!

Congratulations! You've been waiting for a while, glad to hear you're finally approved!

Hm, I was wondering. Since I have my NVC case number and the case status is "Ready" - can I book my interview date online now? Even when I still didn't get the Packet 3? Would that be safe?

Depends on how your Embassy does things. I can't book my own interview,for example. Have you pocked around to see what to expect for Poland?

Really hoping to hear something this coming week.. Starting to have doubts about whether this will happen before the situation deteriorates in Brazil which would complicate things. My fiance is very nervous about civil war.. I would like to get married before I am 30, which will be July 2nd.. but I doubt it's going to happen unless the NOA2 comes soon

Hang in there, the both of you. Crossing fingers for you all!

That means it's at the Embassy and you now have to wait for Packet 3 (or whatever it is they do in substitution of it). smile.png

The time it took for the NVC Notice Hardcopy to reach you was the time it took yoru case to reach the Embassy.

Thanks, thats a relief!

Our status update date has changed but the status is same i am guessing someone touched our case, really excited to get our interview date. :)

You and I both have the exact same petition sent day and NOA1 date.. Just remember you are not alone! Just have faith that everything will fall into place as it is supposed to. Worrying about it will not make it come any faster.

We should both get approvals here very soon, keep your fingers crossed and just don't give up the faith))
