Any February 2012 filers?

[X Factor 1,111]

Why is everyone thinking VSC is slower? To have your NoA2 and get it to NVC and out with in a week is...its pretty much the same as it was. CSC you get your NoA2 wait for them to have enough to send to NVC and then wait for 20-25 days is just crazy talk. I will still be content with VSC processing time with the NVC included pretty much evens out.

Good point - I never even considered that.

Since VSC is going to take forever and the London Embassy will tack on a another 2+ months and I refuse to let them put a damper on my life...

I think Julian is just going to come on over for a visit and stay until his interview, or rather, if he comes now, he'd have to go back in time to complete his medical so it can be sent to the Embassy in time for the interview.

Before we seriously consider just doing it this way, can anyone think of a reason this would be a bad idea? The only thing that comes to mind is an RFE, so we might wait until our approval or RFE in case they need something from over on his side of the pond and then fly him over.

other than that... both of us are just ready for a date to look forward to and since that's taking for *$#$&@$ ever...

That is a really good idea Mary. It would definitely help to ease the pain of this process. I myself, wanted to go to Iran for a month (I have to get back before school starts ) to see my fiancee, but decided to wait till our NOA2 exactly for the same reason you mentioned. But now, seeing recent processing times regarding the next step (NVC), I have decided to wait until our case completely goes out of US. Besides this, I can't think of any other reason as to why you shouldn't do it

Thank you so much =]

My pleasure

Okay this might be a silly question but um pretty confusing for me, since I already got my NOA2 (notification by email) but no hard copy yet. Should I wait 15 business days after my fiance receive the hard copy to call NVC or just call them once he get it?

Thanks guys

my thoughts to you is to call everyday after your NOA2. I did wait a couple days and then started calling everyday. As long as you were approved it's in process, doesn't matter about the hard copy. I never received tbe NOA1 hard copy, it happens. Good luck on a fast case number..

Oh so no wait for hard copy? Ok. I got this number from Scott's post :

Just some other info that might help people:

- NVC number is 603-334-0700

Is that the number you called everyday? If so.. then I tell my fiance to do on his Monday.

Yes, that's the number tell your fiance to call everyday they will probably tell you that you should wait 15 days until they get your case, but ask them to check your USCIS receipt number...hopefully, one day they'll have it

well I disagree as I would prefer to know where my petition is and be approved a month ago and wait another month for NVC to process it, knowing that my petition is out there safe and sound, than having to wait 6 months being kept in the dark and not knowing when and what to expect.. 2 different scenarios as I see it!

You are always in the dark in this process, each step of the way. Having an approved petition sitting around doesn't get you know where. You might think you know where it is, but not even the service center that approved your petition knows where it is. All they would and will tell you its been approved and enroute to NVC, while you contact NVC and they have no record of recieving it. It's when it is in the hands of the Consulate that I will have a hope of light. What I am trying to say is people get discouraged easily, when they see other couples from the other service center get their NoA2 and not theirs. All I am saying is both service centers are dead even now with NoA1 to NVC stage. Don't believe me? You will see more and more people posts about CSC to NVC here pretty soon. While the VSC approved Jan filers get their Case number within a weeks time, we CSC Feb filers will be waiting till mid July to early August to get ours. Different scenarios, yes, same time span, yes, give a take a couple of days.

well we see things from different perspective, you having your NOA2 in your pocket and being what? a month, maybe 2 max from getting your case number and me being X months away from it you see the difference? I do!I am not trying to prove anything here, just saying that people will always find sth to complain about not seeing that they are actually pretty lucky with what they have I am not talking about you, just in general... I am sure there is tens or hundreds of us here seeing people complaining about how NVC is slow ad thinking to themselves that they would actually happily switch with them

And just to be clear, I am really discouraged seeing other people from my service center being approved before me, even though they filed days/weeks or months after me...

No, I wouldn't switch with them. I am content with either center as the time are pretty much dead even now. Everyone has their own opinion, we will just have to wait and see. Don't want anyone to get discourage or think I come here just to put people down. Just wanted to see what I thought was happening as everyone tends to think Process time has changed for VSC. To me, it never changed, still there with the NVC lingering CSC Approvals behind 20 plus days. But yes for me generally, I would like my NVC process within a weeks time like VSC petitioners history, so I have no feeling or thinking its stuck in AP Mode.

However GL with your process Sabi, you are getting closer to that NoA2.
