Alhamdulillah!!! Today we got our NOA 2!! I literally screamed out loud in my office where I work! I got the text and email notifications then checked the website and AHH! Alhamdulillah! Approved!

Now I need to call the NVC to have them send the packet to Lebanon since the Syrian consulate is closed. I hope that doesn't cause any delays!

Best wishes to everyone else who is waiting! Your day will come soon, inshallah!

Thanks, all! I've seen lots of mixed reviews on how long the process from the NOA2 notification to having the case sent to the embassy takes.

Since the Damascus embassy isn't taking any K-1 cases right now, I need to make sure that the NVC sends our case elsewhere. Should I just keep calling the NVC until they have it? Or will they notify me when they receive it? I know for some people, their case gets sent directly to the Consulate...but if they do that it will just sit in a pile of papers until they re-open!

I've checked through the forums, and there's just TOO much information out there to get a good, accurate, concise answer. I'm hoping for some help!

Congrats on your NOA2, to help you out with what comes next, my fiancee and I just went through the same deal except mine was done in Damascus. I suggest you keep calling NVC before they send it to Damascus should you choose to do it in Lebanon or Jordan. In my case i gave them a week then i called to get my case # and they had already sent it Damascus, so keep calling and make sure to tell them that you want to transfer. The Embassy in Damascus is currently processing married and immediate relatives visa only, hopefully they will begin processing K1 soon should you choose to wait. if you want to transfer, try asking members from Jordan and or Lebanon how long it took to get their interiview date, that should give you an idea.

Good luck hope you guys reunite soon.
