Thanks for the info.

Called the 603 number won't give me any info until I had the NOA2 letter in my hand. I have only had the email, so I have to wait until I get the official letter.

More waiting I guess.

I literally just called NVC about 30 min ago and got our info. We got the NOA2 email on Monday (no hardcopy yet). I also called the 603 number and pressed #2 in the automated options. They wanted my EAC #, both DOB and email addresses. She gave me our LND# (for London) and told me our case was still being processed and is still there.

I would try calling back.

Just want to make sure I have this right.

I need to call nvc at that 603 number with our EAC# and both our birth dates to make sure info was received in London. And to get the case number so he can get his medical appointment.

Is this the next thing I need to do?

Congrats to everyone else who has gotten their NOA2. :thumbs:

Hmmm...I would try again, hopefully you'll get someone else that knows that you DON'T have to have the NOA2 in hand. Of course, maybe they figure with the time you get it in the mail they'll have time to process it in their system or something. Who knows?!

Congratulations to all that have been approved this week! I have my fingers and toes crossed for everyone else. We have all been through the difficult period of waiting. There is a lot of snow in the East but I think VSC will finish out strong the next couple of days. Any approvals today?

Well there apparently is a psychic on VJ because there's already an approval for 3/23 lol! :rofl:

I saw that...I wonder when they will fix it? I called NVC today and they received my case on the 3rd of March! That was so fast. They gave me my new case number and told me to call next Mon or Tues to check the status. The women said they usually only have it a week. I am so excited about how fast this seems to be happening. I emailed the embassy here earlier this week and she replied in 30 mins and she was very nice. I looked into Spirit airlines and we may fly to FLL and then get a Delta flight to Boston. How are you doing? How's Josue?

Spirit is still going to be the cheapest for us, but I would really like him to come back with me via Delta so we'll see. The other day it was almost $800, when I checked yesterday it was down to $400 something, and I have some miles I can cash in for a couple hundred off since I don't have enough for a whole ticket yet. Of course we won't buy it until we have the visa in hand. We're doing good, just counting down! I leave in 5 weeks to go down and be with him and his family for a week before he (hopefully!) comes back with me!!!!!

I leave in 5 weeks to go down and be with him and his family for a week before he (hopefully!) comes back with me!!!!!

We have time to make the final decision on the flight. I guess I can wait and see what the price is for Balvino to jump on my flight. Delta said they have space as of now but it would cost me 60,000 sky miles, which will almost wipe me out. Mini our kitten has a reservation but Balvino does not:) I heard today that flights are going down again. I hope the next few weeks go fast...keep us posted.

I agree with this statement. The waiting is very hard and at times just plain cruel. This thread has been a wonderful place for both advice, rejoicing, and support during all the phases of the process. I still check several times a day and receive updates. I watching for new approvals everyday...keep them coming:)

The entire journey is so exciting! It's like the sled dogs, each one packing down the snow a little firmer for the one behind. Always ahead of some and behind others, but that never matters at all. It's the journey!

If I ever become a USCIS employee, I am requesting I-129F adjudicator. I just want to read hunny bunnies all day approving promptly and delivering NOA2's. It's almost a job from heaven really. God after this life, please make me a K-1 adjudicator, Amen.

I love it. I would love to be the one sending love birds on thier way too. :) it does sound like a rewarding job, to be surrounded with love stories all day long.

I have never been a patient person, so I appreciate the gift of learning this experience has given me, definately. and I know that it creates the basis for a stronger relationship than we might have had if we were from the same country. I feel blessed, truly. and having VJ to read is always a bonus! :thumbs:

Thanks for the info.

I called back tonight and she said that our case was just put in today, and I should call back next friday to see if it has been sent yet. Then she gave me the LND #. I asked her about the case number and she said london would give him all of that. I was hoping for the case number so he could go ahead and get his medical appointment. I heard it would take at least 30 days to get his appointment. Has anyone else got their appointment yet? And if so how long was the wait? :wacko:

You may want to call back before next friday. NVC also told me to wait 1-2 weeks to call back but I called back

and 2 days later the case had been sent :thumbs:

I am not sure what the average is for medical appointments in London. I know that there is a United Kingdom

Interview Thread on VJ that Laura started.

We were lucky-our wait was quite short for the medical but there does not seem to be many Swedes coming

to the US. In fact the Doctor told my fiance that he performed very few visa medicals.
