GOT NOA2!!!! (VSC) May 5, 2011

[♥Yllen 3]

Finally!!! This morning I got the most awaited email from USCIS, saying that our petition was approved today! (on MAY 5, 2011). NOA1 was on DECEMBER 20, 2010, so it´s a pretty good time frame considering the VSC delays, right?

I (the beneficiary) told my honey (the petitioner) the good news, since for some reason he dindn´t get the notice!

I´m so happy this came through as it will do us so much good, we really needed something positive in our relationship since the distance and waiting can be so damaging and frustrating...

So I read next step is to wait a couple of days and call the NVC to get a new case number... then wait for the NVC to send case to beneficiary´s country Embassy. Then wait for them to send me (beneficiary) the forms and for me to mail them what´s asked and if it´s all ok they will give me (beneficiary) a date for the interview.

Am I right?

Congratulations on your approval!

Each Embassy works a bit differently, but yes, all K1 approved petitions go to NVC first (1 to 2 weeks) and before being shipped to the appropriate Embassy they will assign a case specific case number. After it is sent to the Embassy, the petitioner should call the visa specialist to see if there are any case updates, including an interview date set. I would recommend you ask for guidance and advice from other members who have interviewed at the same Embassy you will have your interview since they can give you Embassy-specific advice.

Best wishes!

Congratulations! I called NVC within a couple of days after getting the hard copy of NOA 2 and they were able to give me a case number already. Talk to a human, don't use the automated system. So far they have been very helpful to me.

Congratulation Yllen

I am just few days ahead of you in terms of NOA2 approval. On the 8th day I got the confirmation from NVC (I kept calling the automated service after day 4 ), whcih I believe was bit ahead in time then the average (I noticed with similar case it's 2 weeks, but in some case can be 4 days). So start calling NVC and once you get the Case # probably a day or two later it will ask you or the petitioner to pay for the necessary fees and you take it from there.

Again, congratulation.

Thanks and contratulations to you too

I´m a little confused, you said: "a day or two later it will ask you or the petitioner to pay for the necessary fees and you take it from there"...

What fees?

Congrats!!!

I dont think u have to pay anything to NVC, just the fee at the embassy!!! The embassy will tell how much it is!!

I think that is for people that have applied for CR-1 Spouse visa.

Please stay in touch..I am expecting to get approved in July and u are the only member from Argentina, that is a few months head of me..

What fees?

NVC fees such as IV bill fee and AOS (Affidavit of Support) fee. If you are a CR-1 visa applicant.

Good Luck!
