Beth, glad things with your visa are going right now. :star:

Sharifah, inshaAllah your hubby will have his interview soon and you two are going to be reunited again in no time. (F)

Childress, Congrats on your hubby's visa. :dance::dance:

Sandra and Andrea, praying that you get NOA2's very soon. (F)(F)

I have a question ladies... When filling our I-129F I wrote my physical address and wrote a note of my mailing address (a mail box in PO office on which I receive all my mail) which we attached in our K1 packet. A few days after NOA1 I read that the embassy does not deliver visa packet or passports to mail boxes... So I called the embassy to make sure, after waiting on the phone for 20 minutes a lady finally answered and told me "it's not of our concern to where you receive the visa packets, we just need a physical address. You can check that with DHL and see how they can help you." So, I called DHL and they said they only deliver passports :unsure: So I said don't you deliver packet 3 and 4 too?! And the guy said: "No, our contract with the embassy is that we only deliver passports. But you always can request to have your visa packets sent via DHL. And, unfortunately, we don't deliver to mail boxes because there might be additional fees and in that case you cannot receive the packet until you pay"...! They also said that 'I can always pick 'my stuff' up at any DHL office' So, that is very confusing....!!

I was planning on emailing the embassy once we get our NOA2 and NVC case number and remind them of the address where I like the visa packets to be sent to... Now that we got NOA2, I'm not sure what to do or what to start with... How can I fix that with DHL... I really am not sure what to do first? It's not an option now to receive any visa mail to my physical address, it would be a big problem and our visa could get stopped... Any ideas? Has any of you had this situation with DHL?

Thanks Hon, just got a call from NVC, NOW the K3 is out of AP and being sent to Paris. CR-1 is still underview, oh well, I just wnat him here the fastest way now, we will cross bridges as they come together.

Truly happy!!!

New life, new adventures, and a new attitude.

Im so happy for you Beth! This hellish journey is comng to fruition!!!!

Welcome Tany :) Good luck on a speedy and headache free process

"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!
