Guys, we finally got our case shipped today!! It took 29 days from the noa2. But I gotta say, I don't think this would happen today without our congressman's help!!

There's one thing I want to make clear here for those who don't know what is going on and why this is taking so long. All this waiting to get the new case number after the noa2 is NOT NVC's fault, although they always say it can take up 8 weeks, this is just the deadline they have, but the real delay is from Texas Service Center.

It had been 4 weeks since we got the noa2. We sent several emails to different email addresses (NVC & TSC), we called NVC almost everyday and still hadn't got anything. Then, my fiance decided to try the Congressman again (he contacted him when we were waiting for the noa2 for 5 month and a few hours after the congressman's assistant made a phone call to TSC we got the noa2. Coincidence? maybe). The assistant called TSC again and guess what?! The attendant confirmed that our case hadn't been sent to the NVC yet and she also told him that they are having trouble with cases transferred from Vermont! Shortly after he talked to TSC my fiancé received an email saying that our case was shipped today! Another coincidence? I don't think so...

Snce we're both from Brasil and had our cases forward on the same day, maybe we will have oir interviews scheduled on the same day either! it'll be good to have company in Rio! :)

Just got our case number today. At least it shows they're assigning case numbers within a day or two of recieving them.

We're still waiting as well. So is everyone from TSC as far as I know.

We just got off the phone to the Department of State. They told us it's still a bit early, and generally it takes 30-60 days, although the average at the moment is around 30 days and to call back next

Can we schedule Medical now that we have case number. Even before it reaches the embassy. Reason is because Vika and her son are visiting her either in Kiev and would be simple to get this taken care of now while he is with her so he will not have to come back Ina couple weeks. Thanks for any insights.

Yes. They only require your case number for the medical.

Status says At NVC, and below there is a text saying Please follow the instructions you received from NVC... . Is it a standard text below? Does it appear for all K1 applicants?

Yes, it's just standard text. You won't receive any instructions from the NVC. They should ship it out within a few days to the embassy.

Thanks! It was quite a wait and delays every step of the way. I hope your journey is going well! I would not do this again, I would just marry in the other country and wait there for this long process. I would not suggest anyone go thru this K1 process, life is too short to lose close to a year of time apart. So glad the separation is over!!

Take Care!!

I'm with you z...I would have done it the other way too...especially since my fiance is a teacher and we could have controlled the working situation better with when to sign another contract there and when to shoot to be here...I don't know why they can't give the green card with the documents like they do for the spousal one...it's really messed up a lot...anyway, glad you are doing well...

glad the separation is over for you! we are still waiting for our docs to be delivered after our approval last tuesday..it feels like forever :(

In other news, had our interview yesterday and we were approved!

awesome news - congrats! :)

Us too. We were approved August 1, shipped to NVC on August 15 and we don't have a case number yet. As someone said in a previous post, it takes mere days to get from NVC to another country, so why on earth does it take so long to get from Texas to New Hampshire?
