Congratzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!! :dance::thumbs::dance:

See!! Those mad smileys were working for ya! They have the power of approval, but nothing apparently can overcome the weirdness of the notification systems. hehe

LoL Here you are wondering when/if it's going to happen, and your case is probably out of NVC already! LoL

Good luck with the rest of it!!

And for those still waiting... :angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry:

So, how do I track that it's been received by NVC? Should I/Can I can them?

From what I have read--yes you can call them and get a case # and find out when/if they have sent your petition on to the Embassy. I could also check out the NVC forum here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showforum=83

Phone # is 603-334-0700

Congratulations and good luck!!!!!

So, how do I track that it's been received by NVC? Should I/Can I can them?

Call the NVC number (603) 334 0700. Use the option to speak to an operator. You will need your EAC number, your name, your beneficiary name, and both of your birth dates.

They can then give you your new case number, which will be your number until the process is complete. They can also tell you if your case has left for your bene's embassy, though if it has not left yet, they can give you no idea when it will. They just say "usually two week max, but no guarantee."

The operator also told me that, they basically do nothing with K visas, except give them the number, so it is usually a quick pass-through.

I might add, you MUST speak to an operator, as the NVC apparently does not track K visas in their automated systems.

YAY CONGRATULATIONS :angry::angry::angry::angry:

I think that the best way now to guage approval is by last touch date, so hopefully ours will come next week, so just to put this theory to work who else has a touch the 11th July

Good luck to everyone for next week for more approvals

oh nearly forgot :angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry:

If my situation is any guide, I think that's very good news. My USCIS page was not updated with NOA2 approval, but apparently the approval came with the first touch I had since the beginning. I had two other touches AFTER the approval notice date, but I think they must have been related to sending mine to NVC.
