how do we find out if NVC has received our case? Do we just have to wait for them to send us something? Or is there a quicker way?

thanks

Sorry for the late update everyone! :(

I have had a busy couple of evenings trying to get NVC to change our interview location to Tokyo instead of Naha (Okinawa). Anyway its in for review to be changed now! :)

Also, any thoughts on what the next column should be? I can't figure it out as there is now two tracks. Opinions?

Thanks,

- Justin and Masako

8 out of 20 approved

almost at 50% maybe there is hope for dec :)

Here is my story. I've lived problem free life, payed my taxes. One day I decided to marry this girl. But to do so would require her to come to US of A, and so it started. My problem free live turned in to free problems from USCIS! Sure things turned to unsure, certain dates turned to aproximation within months. All logical thinking was out the door, as I filed my papers withing famous Vermont Centre!

hey Amastar,

did you get any "touch" before receiving your NOA2 e-mail? My timeline is very similar to yours and I just got a touch on 5/5. Dunno what to make out of it. I also submitted my wife's new passport biographic page to VSC about 3 weeks ago, so I am kindda afraid the touch was just to update that information and not someone actually adjucating it..

Anyone have thoughts on what the next column in this list should be? Its difficult with two tracks, should we just skip to "Sent to Embassy"?

Thanks,
