March (2012) filers...

Good Morning Everyone!

I am happy to see that some of the people going through VSC are finally getting their approvals! I thank my lucky stars everyday that I got sorted to the CSC, especially since I was fool enough to plan my wedding for December. At least I can offer encouragement that once you are in the hands of the State Department things go a lot faster, just don't dally on getting your information to the embassy!

In my personal story I have some updates. We got our packet 3 and I started working on getting together the information that has to come from me, unfortunately my fiance had some setbacks on getting the information that he needed, but finally got his medical scheduled. He went for the medical, everything seemed to go well, but the next day he got a call to come back for another appointment because they were "concerned" by something in the chest x-ray. He went back for the second x-ray and we got the all clear (the x-ray tech had rotated the film the first time). So we submitted our readiness form and waited, and waited, and called the embassy and waited.

Its important to note at this point that we were getting anxious at this point because of our wedding date in December and we were now in October with no word. We finally got our letter confirming our interview yesterday, but it was for November 19th. With the processing time after the interview, it was cutting it too close for comfort. My fiance called the embassy and was given and email address to request an earlier date, which we did.

Thankfully, the people at the embassy seem to be very reasonable and got back to us today with an earlier date, now November 1st.

The moral of this long story is: HAVE FAITH! Also, don't be afraid to stay on top of the people processing your information.

I hope you all have the same good luck that I have had through this process!

Call USCIS and put a service request , it's so helpful

I was able to put a service request now. I have been calling everyday at lunch time and I keep getting the same standard tier 1 response. Maybe calling at 8 am on a Friday is better because they seem to be in a better mood. hahahaha

So I will wait 2 more weeks for a response.

That should do it if you put one in!

While I'm glad everything worked out so smoothly for you... It's easy to say 'have faith' when you only waited a mere four months for your NOA2 and will have your fiance in the country before Thanksgiving even. I'd think at this point it's pretty obvious most of the people in this thread are not having the same good luck as you.

I for sure know that I have been very lucky in how quick things have been processed. Know that when you get to the embassy level that things move at a good clip. I think we got some quicker processing because we had signed a contract with the hall and put money down and I forwarded a copy of contacts and receipts for all the things I have set up. It was a huge gamble to get all these things in place, but I think it has paid off.

Kristen, thanks for your encouragement....

For us, our first wedding date..... November 10....... :rofl:

I planned everything, and for me being a guy, thats no small task.

I cancelled all plans until I can get faith back.
