FANTASTIC! good.gif

What a great feeling it is, and reward for all the hard work you have put in. I still say your efforts were one of the things that forced us to break the dam. I just wonder how long this could have gone on for without the pressure.

Just got my NVC case number from the robot at NVC

Grats! It's about time. 80 days is way too long from an approval to case number.

If your petition wasn't shipped until 2/10, then your case number will be next week. We were approved on 1/25, but our petition hasn't even shipped yet, so hang on, all will come good in the end.

I do know what you are saying though - TSC dangles a carrot, and then takes it away. I'll be SO glad to get out of there.

the dangling of a carrot is a great analogy hahaha...you are so excited after you get your approval 7 months later and then another wait happens. I do believe they have gotten much better at sending our approvals to NVC so I am very happy about that.

2/9/11- NOA2 (transferred to Texas)

NVC

2/28/11- case number received

3/2/11- Paid AOS bill

3/5/11- Paid IV bill

3/12/11- expedite to Bogota consulate approved!!!

3/14/11- left NVC to Bogota for further processing

3/17/11- received by Bogota, emailed consulate and was told to send DS-230 and DS-2100 (packet 3)

3/18/11- packet 3 emailed to Bogota consulate, email confirmation on March 23

3/31/11- Interview date! Approved!!!!!!

Keep the faith, everything works out for the very best
