November '08 K-1 Filers

[Ellie-and-David 38]

Ellie and David congrats to your NOA2! Looks like that did work out great for you, being with your sweetheart and receiving big news! I´m happy for you! Well we received our RFE last monday and it was really just about question nr. 2 part C, we got it done and sent it right back in! On sunday Michael is coming to see me for a week, he is off from college and right in time uscis had a nice surprise for us:

WE GOT APPROVED MARCH 19!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awwww thanks! And congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didnt think that RFE would hold you up too long and I am so glad that USCIS approved you so quickly.

Sorry I've been MIA - been visiting my father in law to be and getting a very good idea of what david will be like in his 80's! I'm headed home tomorrow (booooooooooooo) but am excited to get on to NVC. We got back from the east coast today to find the hardcopy NOA 2 in the mail.

MzMo - so glad you had a great time in Hawaii. I cant believe it is snowing in NY at the moment....poor devils. We haven't had a day below 80 since I got here.....I really cant wait to come and live in the land of eternal sunshine (okay so I am skipping over the hurricanes and tropical thunder storms and living the dream hahahahahhaha) and be with Dave. We had a great time, I know i cant move here till Sept....but suddenly 6 months doesn't seems so long.

To you guys still waiting....well i just wish you all the best and hope you are approved soon. Cold comfort whilst those around you get approved, I know this....but us November filers have to stick together and I for one will still be here until everyone gets approved.

Much love to y'all (I'm getting my slang in) will check in when I get back to the UK () in a couple of days.

Congrats again to those who just got their NOA2's and for those still standing in the race - you're almost there!!!

@ Ellie - Yeah had a fabulous time..there were still snow in NY when I got there but not so bad when I left. Im glad you're having a good time over in Florida!!! It wasnt as hard to leave Richie this time knowing that it wont be too long before he arrives here end of July/august for the birth of our little one. Im kind of taking my time a little with the packet 3...getting my police certificate on Sunday and next week im making an appointment for my medical after that we're pretty much done and will only be waiting for the affidavit and evidence of support stuff. Hopefully I'll be able to be here November then fly out! We'll see....

Hi all, congrats to everyone who got their NOA2's!

Question, what about the next step? We got approved 2/27 and i received the hard copy 3/5, but since then .... silence. i called the NVC and they say they have not received our case to even forward to the foreign consulate yet, that it normally takes 2-4 weeks after approval (which does not match what i'm seeing on people's timelines) and there's nothing they can do since they havent received it yet, then i called the VSC and they said the last status they have on our case is the 2/27 "approved" and cannot say where it is now or when it will be sent to the NVC... who can i get info from, or is there really nothing to do except sit tight and wait? I thought we were ahead of schedule there but now it seems like we're right back in nowhere-land. Can anyone advise?

Thanks!!!

Glad to hear you're having a nice time in FL! You'll love living in FL... the weather really is wonderful! I grew up in Tampa and would love to move back but my line of work isn't really down there Nick and I will marry there though because my family is still down there We've planned an August wedding so fingers crossed that we get everything in time! My case hasn't been touched so I'm getting a bit concerned...

Congrats again on getting your NOA2... so exciting!

BTW, if anyone else still waiting wants to join the race, let me know.

You can count us in on the race. We sent in our application and received our NOA1 on the same days as you, maybe we'll be approved the same day too. We are still waiting for our NOA2 and the anticipation keeps building. Maybe being added to the race will be good luck!

Wow thats really long!! Maybe call the USCIS to see if they forwarded it to the NVC, cuz if they did..means its lost in the mail maybe.

We got approved 2 days before you and we got already packet 3, returned that, got packet 4 yesterday with the interview date, April 16...

Just call the uscis..cant hurt...nvc usually is pretty fast! Idk about ur consulate..could also call them to see if they got anything...but i dont htink the nvc makes a mistake in saying they didnt get it yet.

Good luck!! hope it will all be ok soon!

Have you been preparing for the packet 3? If not, you can download the forms online..just go to the US embassy website for your fiancee's country and then you will find a bunch of forms to download. You can start filling them in, obtain the police certificates, etc while you're waiting.

Hi - yes we've been prepping, in fact i think we're about 75% done for packet 3 and already working on packet 4, just need the forms to get over there, dont know what the holdup is.

thanks very much!

Kevin and Leilei--

Add us to the race. I have a feeling we're going to win due to be punished for messing up our first fiance visa opportunity and are on our 2nd one....

I am sorry to hear it takes so long guys. Don't really know what you should do but you may start a new thread here. There are a lot of people who might offer advice. It really shouldn't take so long. Hope everything will get better soon.

Welcome to the new members of the race. I wish you all to lose it as soon as possible New week new bad luck hopefully

[MzMo1102 0]

Well the average time to receive the NOA2 is usually 4 months, people who just received theirs earlier just got lucky I guess... There are still several folks from previous months who have not received theirs..so hang in there guys!

Hey guys has anyone had their medical yet? If so, how did eveyone go? I have mine on Wednesday...I really wanted to delay it until mid april (so I can stay here til end of Oct/early Nov) but i've almost got everything in order...just need the medical, police certificate which should arrive in about two weeks and the affidavit of support from Richie...

No we are way off booking the medical. I am trying to stall to have the interview around late June / July time time so that Dave can come over and be with me for it. This will hopefully give him time to get his affidavit stuff together for me. I got home yesterday from florida ( boooooooooo) and found my police certificate waiting for me (my goodness, those scanned photo's are NOT flattering....i look like a criminal!)

Apparently the doctors in Knightsbridge in London are a little snooty about booking medicals to far in advance...otherwise I would get it out of the way asap and consider it one less thing to have to do.

Could you delay sending all of your information back so that you can hang on for a little while longer? Or even request a later interview date for the visa so that it doesn't expire before you and the baby are ready to leave.
