hey, sorry to interrupt the good news waive, i just want to know if any of you have heard of people not getting out of rfe line....or does anyone know what could be the longest wait for rfe? it's been 2 weeks since our status online changed into case resumed, and a month since we actually got our rfe...any info on that? :help:

Hi Laura, I'm so sorry you are going through this. It's bad enough to have to wait so long and then to add more time for an RFE. I do know of one couple who had to wait about 6 weeks. Hopefully yours won't take that long. Has your fiance called USCIS to try and get any information? As long as you provided them with what they requested, I doubt you will have any problem getting your approval. I hope you hear some good news soon! Keep us posted,

Our NVC was confirmed to be there as of 11-19-07, and is being forwarded to Bucharest, we are wondering how much longer we should have to interview if all goes smoothly. The reason we ask is we want to buy plane tickets now to try to save some $$.

Also will it look bad if we buy a round trip ticket? She wants to go back next novemberish to visit her mom for birthday. Of course that is pending whethere or not she will be able to with AoS etc.

Hi JesNSteph! As you can see by my timeline, she should get her interview pretty quickly. I was shocked how fast we got ours! Don't worry about the round-trip ticket thing. My fiance bought a round-trip ticket and is due to land here in about an hour! It was cheaper to buy round-trip than one-way. I doubt anyone will think twice about that. We found a good price on Expedia. I'm in Seattle, so it's a very long trip - 13 hours. I also heard that Delta has a direct flight from Bucharest to New York, so you might check that out too.

Good luck and keep us posted here! It goes so much faster now! :)

The interview comes around pretty quick. My husband was at his interview within a couple weeks after NVC sent the papers to bucharest. I wouldnt say go ahead and buy your tickets until your fiance has visa in hand. buying in advance is always something we want to do, but remember, no matter what USCIS says, the embassy has the last say in the visa. good luck.

Hi everybody! Nice to know that I`m not the only one waiting for Noa2. When we started it I didn`t think that it would be so slow and so difficult. Laura_Z I`m really sorry for what you`re going through. Let`s hope that things will go faster. And lari_l let`s hope that we`ll get our Noa2s as soon as possible. It would definitely work miracles on my holiday mood...

Congrats JesNSteph. The embassy signed for our Packet 3 on 11/29, but when we called today they told us they don't have it in their department yet and to call back on Monday :( Oh well, 1 more weekend isn't going to kill us. Hopefully we can set it up Monday. Maybe we'll get lucky and there will still be some time slots open on Dec 6 and you our SO's can meet.

Lari_l The process goes surprisingly faster from here on. The service center will forward it the the NVC (which is the slowest part), then the NVC has it for a couple days and assigns a case number and mails it to the Embassy. Then the Embassy send you a packet, which you sign and return to them. Then you can set up your appointment. It has been about a month since we were approved and we are close to getting an interview date.
