I am so happy for you Kristin! Now hopefully our files will get out of NVC very soon so we can be on to the final steps of this process! Wishing you all the best!

Our NOA2 (hard-copy) came on 03/30, but the date on the NOA2 is 03/25. I know it's only been about a week, but these delays are causing some slowdown in our planning on when my fiancée can be here. I checked USCIS website and they still list my case as pending, even though I'm holding the NOA2 in my hands.

I'm hoping that NVC is able to process our cases quickly and forward them to the respective embassies/consulates.

Back to topic. I just called the NVC number today and went through their automated system. Says it's not in their system (yet). It's not yet 4 weeks so hopefully they'll get it soon. Not frustrated...was actually expecting it'll be another slow process (see my timeline for NOA 2 approval lol), but I do have a letter already written up just in case (was originally for NOA2 if it went past 6 months).
