I just called the NVC too. They have our case but we have an AP too. Can anyone tell me what this means? I thought the waiting was over. My nerves are shot as it is

Thanks!

Thanks!

I can tell you what it meant for me ... almost nothing! Just a couple of days delay and more angst... but look on the bright side ... these trials build character Anyway, I was almost screaming when I heard "AP" but I never heard anything else about it, and after just a few days, they sent our petition on to the consulate. Good luck!

Great news guys...i just called NVC today and they got my package today and case number has been assigned to me according to my location of embassy to issue visa....LGS 2009*****. Man this is really moving fast and i love it. I hope to see my woman by December and coming to the state with me in January. I got my NOA 2 on Sept 15 and it took just two days for NVC to receive my package....sweettttttt

Are you guys able to see your status online today? I thought I read that someone saw theirs today, but when I go to it says

"Case Status, Processing Times, Office Locator, and Change of Address Online Unavailable

Case Status, Processing Times, Office Locator, and Change of Address Online will be unavailable starting on 9/18/09 5PM EST until 9/19/09 12PM"

But I've been trying since morning (note above says after 5pm) and can't get to a page where I can enter it in...

Hi DND...i was able to see my case on line this morning at 9:30 am (Toronto time), that's how i found out about my NOA2.

Site might be down because they are updating and rolling out the new website? That's my guess.

you can go to DHL website, then "track by reference" then put in EXP XX XXX 2009A ... but the X's are the day and month it was shipped, for example 14 SEP ... just play around with the date a bit, then you'll see a list and you scroll to look for your consulate city in the destination column

Am I the only one to just realize there are 2 different forums for May 2009 filers??? and they both have about 54 pages ... I kept wondering why sometimes the May filer forum didn't look the same as it did the last time I looked at it ... LOL ... Anyway, if there is someone else out there as slow to notice such things as I was, be aware there is a May 2009 filers forum and a May 2009 k-1 filers forum

Ladonna - There is one for K1 for CSC but the creator of that forum didn't do as nice of a job as ELTEMP did but define type of visa and location of service center.

Hey Thanks for the recognition but give the credit to VJ creator....

Also whoever got an "AP" is just like any other thing it could be a couple of days sometimes more.... but think positively that your case will leave for your respective embassy next week!!

have a good weekend everyone.... and hopefully we'll see more people approvals.... I'm rooting for J&T and for Jeshel.....

Thanks for the positive words Eltemp. I almost had a melt down when I heard AP, but we gotta think positive. I can't let it get the better of me now after all this time, though I swear I found a grey hair the other day (i'm only 28)!

Good luck to everyone in your journey which ever point you may be at. Remember to stay strong and think of your blissful future with your SO

Good morning May!

Congratulations to the people who got their NOA2!!

Congratulations to everyone else who is progressing, it really is good to hear that great news! I bet it feels quite crazy booking interveiws and such when you've been waiting so long!

As for me I am still waiting but I have adopted a calmer attitude towards it, I'm just going enjoy my weekend and take Eltemps advice of -trying- not to think about it, and maybe it will come. I haven't had a touch since 17/09/09 and their new sites says Initial Review which I think is good, not sure how it works but I think if they haven't looked at your case yet, you'd be on the first little bubble? But heyho!

Does it feel better now you guys are past the NOA2 stage and onto NVC/Consulate or is it worse? I always though to myself it would be better cause you can have a bit more of an active role rather than just waiting and not knowing.

Going to make some lunch, enjoy your day guys.

Best wishes to everyone who's still waiting/in AP.

Hey Jaz,

Thank you for taking the approach I suggested (even though I know it is NOT easy...). Secondly, I did see on the website the new case status layout... now from what I read there most of those stages do not apply to us...so, the next step will be either "RFE" or "Decision", I'm sure it will be the second one rather than the first one ....like I said the other day... enjoy the other things you can do try to keep yourself busy...because unfortunately you cannot change how fast/slow they work... I'm sure you'll get it soon because it seems pretty weird that they worked 3 days and no decision yet, so I know is coming... have a great weekend!!

I think initial review means you have a NOA1. My understand is they haven't touched the case.

I think initial review means you have a NOA1. My understand is they haven't touched the case.

I thought that the NOA1 was acceptence, It says under acceptance "USCIS issues a receipt number for the application or petition, and sends a receipt notice to the applicant." Which would be the NOA1. I could be wrong but it says under Initial Review that it concerns background checks on the Petitioner, which would explain my 3 touches in a row. I don't know why they'd start that if they weren't looking at my petition. Maybe I'm just being too hopeful!

No approvals yet today it looks like, do they work weekends?

I've actually had a really good day, I've been out in the sun[yes it's occasionally sunny in england!], with a few glasses of wine relaxing and reading a book! It might sound silly but sometimes all you need is for someone to tell you to relax before you actually do. Again thanks Temp! ^^

Best wishes.

Zup May Fillers...

No approvals so far, that really sucks!! but we still got time to see someone being approved...

Regarding what does each status means.... what I've read on USCIS's website concurs with what Jaz posted...although being a government thing you never know!! However, it would not make sense all those updates or touches on your case these last days....regarding the weather.. well here in Atlanta weather is like London's (from what I remember) so RAIN, and it's gonna be like that for a bunch of days... which is cool if you wanna get some sleep but not when you gotta work and study ... they do work on weekends but I do not know on what terms, I've seen people being approved on Saturdays and Sundays.... and also I've seen other Vjers comment that sometimes officers take cases home to work on them... being that they want to look good for their annual report (5 month goal), I would not be surprised if they are working weekends!!

I hope that info helps... now keep in mind this all based on "word to mouth" information, so I cannot prove it...

regards everyone!!!

It says the acceptance step is completed after 2 business days. So, I think the review step means they are doing nothing with it. What does a touch look like with the new system?
