Endoftheroad: Maybe when I get my NOA2 I will "boldly go where no woman has gone before"...

"Ahead warp factor 10 Uhuru!"

[Allie and Nigel 2]

Got the letter date August 20th, saying "The NVC has received an approved i-129f filed behalf of your fiance..bla bla bla...This letter is to let you know that within a week the petition will be forwarded to the appropriate visa issuing post where your visa interview will take place. Then it has Nigel's name and our INS receipt number.... then case number...."

Do you think this still means we're in AP like the first young man I spoke to August 14th? This is way too exiting now!

Heeeelp!

You receive that letter AFTER the processing is done and it is on it's way to the consulate as far as I know ... congrats !!

[Allie and Nigel 2]

Who knows...................Ian and Lisa said they got the same letter and they're still waiting for it to be sent out to London. Sooo, i donno. I'm also thinking cause there's a case number now, maybe with the case number we can book a medical with it. I wonder if thats what everyone else is doing....i'm so confused and part of me says this is a normal process, they would have told me by paper if they are doing "additional processing", i also read on VJ that the term "additional processing" is normal and "Administrative processing" is the more in depth thing they do and takes a bit longer, I have NO idea. Another part of me is to just go with it like what it says "within a week" sent off to London and whatever after that is whatever....I dont want to think that i'm gonna wait weeks and weeks like Ian and Lisa....i really dont. Soooo, still the waiting....and watching....

[Allie and Nigel 2]

I- am- slowly- going- crazy!!!! NVC ADDITIONAL PROCESSING is normal, ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING is the extensive one. I was told ADDITIONAL. Bloody hell...then the standard NVC letter.....OMG why cant I just get SOMETHING right on this process.....maybe we will get some progress soon....I donnoooooooooooo...........

I never got that letter and my petition has already left for the consulate. I am still hoping the status email I got this week means they are really going to send me an NOA2 letter so I don't have to fork out the $300+ fee for a new one.

And dangnabit! I forgot my daily DOS call until it was too late on Thursday and Friday. Now 16 days in "clearance delay" at Guangzhou, sick fiancee, yadda yadda.

Hope everyone can think of the good things on this Saturday night! (no more coffee for allie! )

Lisa and Ian don't want to wait weeks and weeks, either, but so far, what we want hasn't counted for much.

You know, by now, how bad the immigration offices are at communicating. People get updates or no updates on websites, emails or no emails about approval... lost NOA2's... lost applications on the way to NVC.

I have the same letter you have. I asked the same question about the medical in the London thread, but they said to wait for packet 3. If your medical info gets to London before London has your case, then what?

I've seen people try to send their packet 3 paperwork to London even without getting out of NVC, and London sends it back. So don't do that, either.

-We have been told all along that we are in additional processing.

Ken got the letter about stuff being shipped to the embassy. I'm sure he'd share the text of it with us..

Same letter, then, only normally they really mean it when they say it'll be sent off within 7 days.

[Allie and Nigel 2]

Yes, thats the one i got, and it had a bar code in it and our new case # on it too....so we'll see....

Some more waiting games..............

Yay! Bookings are good! How long are you staying? How long is your flight altogether? Mine is normally a 12-hour trip... Omaha to Chicago to Heathrow. I like to arrive at 6am. Ian likes that, too, since he normally has to drive an hour to get to the airport. hehe

Have fun!
