I never got any letter saying we're at the NVC..just got the NOA2 approval letter...hmmmmmmmmmmm

I'm sure you'll get your letter within the next week.

We have to just try to have patience. This whole process is stressful. I found myself getting all worked up. I even deleted all my info on here at one point and was fed up. Then my future MIL and I had some confrontation after being friends for an entire yeah without incident. I had to take a break. So, if you are a K1 filer I suggest you focus on your wedding or read up on what comes after the interview so you are prepared when it comes time to file your AOS. K3's just focus on your paperwork too. We can't give the embassy any logical reason not to granted us/loved ones visas. Just wanted to share some thoughts and words of encouragement for everyone! Stay blessed....

Its hard to not think about this process, and not to sound like a witch, there is other life to do out there then NVC. Soon we will move from NVC to embassy, its just speed bump in this immigration nightmare.

No youre not sounding like a witch, just expressing how you feel. Its very hard. I wish everyone the best...

Lisa, phone for me too ok? LOL. I cant bear to hear it again...! We will know more by the end of the month, we just HAVE to.....!!!

LOL... You know what they say... "A watched pot never boils." I'm tired of watching, and I think I'm becoming more frustrated calling daily, so I'm going to stop... except for Friday.

Have a good day! Better things are coming! (F)

We got our NOA2 on 26th of August, 2009. I called NVC on:

Monday morning the 31st - I was told it was being processed and given the NVC case #.

Called back Tuesday morning - guy said was being processed to be transferred to the embassy

Called Weds and was told was needing some additional processing

Was sort of shocked as took Tuesday as good sign was being prepped for shipping

So did some reading of the horror stories on here and just can't do it ( I mean will it have too ) but this sucks

I am going to call back again this morning and see what they say again and if is same or even if is something different - I am going to ask my congressman to check into it for me to see what is going on

I figure by the time he acts on it - if is still there - will be ready to be screaming at someone

Its been a while since I have been on this thread....

Sorry for all of the new "stuckees" and congrats to those recently released on good behavior :P

I hope the recent shorter trend continues and you guys wont lose too much time

Good Luck

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

but is nice knowing right ? that is just due process ? i mean is insane - nvc should just say what dos says - then is like no panic or stress

last night after reading this thread i was like ready to call out the national guard to barricade the nvc or something till i found out what was going on

we wait so patiently for the noa2 - lives on hold - doing ####### long distance - making best of things - keeping chin up - spending nights alone, doing stuff by ourselves, getting the "oh sure the imaginary long distance bf" looks ..lol lol - then noa2 comes and you are like omg omg omg - maybe is really going to happen - then this ####### - is enough to make one just crack ..lol

is amazing that someone has not gone postal on that place
