NOA to P3

[Russell T 3]

The process has happened so fast we didn't even have time to use the short cut! My fiancee texted today she got the P3! That's 3 1/2 weeks from getting the NOA2 to getting the P3

I'm dazed at this point, now I have to get stuff packed up to send. I have the 1-134 done and also did the DS-230. My fiancee has her papers translated and noterized.

The hardest part is staying calm and not letting the excitment spin us out of control

Wow, always hurry up then wait. Congratulations.

Yes, if I were in your shoes I would be super excited as well...it means you guys are getting one step closer to finally being together...Oh, I can't wait til we get there ourselves. Congrats and good luck!

so, you weren't calling the DoS Hotline so often?

You'd learn casefile status on each call.

Regardless - YAY! Some movement.

The SAFEFILE Gods have blessed you - a GUZ IV human decided not to wait on the paper casefile, and is using the SAFEFILE version of the casefile.

Yay !

Way to screw up the bell curve.

Congratulations that is very fast, probably the fastest I've seen. (Darnell, what's the GUZ K-1 land speed record?)

Take a minute to catch up your timeline.

[Darnell 8,478]

Operator - unsure of the land speed record,

but for 'safefile solely' it was NVC OUT then P3 sent at 3 days.

The Petitioner caught it cause he was calling DoS Hotline like a rabid mongoose(daily, and often)

It was this year, also.

You know, there's that rumour that Guangzhou does 'electronic filing' for K-1 visas , see the bottom of http://guangzhou.usembassy-china.org.cn/nvc_pilot_program_of_electronically_processing_visa_petitions.html

but that's really just 'the decision' to rely on 'solely' the SAFEFILE version of the casefile, and it's SOLELY on the GUZ IV human to make that decision - no other human (petitioner, beneficiary, NVC goon) makes that decision.

Russel T - burn some joss today, la.

Double points if'n you get into a Buddhist Temple

I have been trying to update my time line but some of the dates I am unsure of.

I know I got a reply from the NVC on 8-30 saying they could not change my fiance's address, I think it was because they were already on the to the embassy. I e mailed the embassy the same day about the address change they replyed within hours saying they would use the new address but had not yet resieved her papers yet. My fiance told me today the packet3 papers were mailed to her on the 5th. That's 6 days from not having the stuff yet to sending her packet3!

I did not use any special tricks like SAFEFILE or E filing, I never figured it out

I will be busy this weekend getting the rest of the paperwork done so we can get the P3 requested forms submitted!

Darnell, I think there's a temple right up the hill from me!

NVC Left :
