Congrats!!

Thanks, ladies!!!

Wow Congrats Nikkosan! I will try not to be too envious...thanks for all the tips.

I'm sure we will receive a few updates from you as well REAL soon!

Are the 'NVC received' and 'NVC left' information obtained from the USCIS website using the receipt number of the NOA1?

Nope, you need to call the NVC, or even better, DoS. You will be able to know what your case number is, and whether the petition is at NVC. With that case number, you can then go on the CEAC Visa Status Check website and see when your status changes from At NVC to In Transit to Ready! ;-)

You will also be able to guess, through the DHL website, when your petition gets to the US Consular Post.

I am super sure of that!!!! you guys will feel so much better.. haha.... I fly late Friday so I will be in Paris on Saturday...... at least I will be relaxing for two weeks without thinking about USCIS... or least try not to.... haha.... I am sure your visa will be in hand before the end of the year.... yay!!! New Years in SoFLa! let me know if you guys need help moving hahaha.... we can tag along haha.. keep us posted and congrats on the package being sent to Naples!!!!

We loved Paris! We were there this summer...!

HAHAHAHA Careful what you offer, we may take you up on that! We have quite a lot of stuff in storage, thankfully NO furniture, as we left all of that in our condo, but pretty much everything else is in there! LOL

Just got an update after 128 days of filing; my fiance was elated when he found out that our NOA1 got approved on his birthday...

--- don't know what to do next, anyone?

Congrats!!!

You need to catch up on some reading here on VJ...!

I apologize in advance that I am too tired to write a very detailed post yet...

Just wanted to check in and let everybody know that we have successfully gotten a K1 visa for a same-sex relationship from the consulate in Naples. We have the visa in hand. So this can and does work. I hope that gives confidence to some of you out there who are waiting!

It's been a few busy / trying days in Naples but that doesn't matter now... =)

According to the woman at the consulate, we were the FIRST same-sex K1 to go through Naples (and thus Italy!)

[Nikkosan 127]

Congratulations!!!

Big sigh of relief! Hope we will be next!

Congratualtions, that's great news! When you catch your breath and have time, could you please post a report about the interview questions that you were asked? A number of same-sex couples have interviews scheduled over the next couple of months and it would be helpful to know if the questions seem to be varying much from the usual drill.

Thanks and congratulations again!

Congrats! We hope we are right behind you there in Naples. Please let us know how the process was and what to expect. We are still waiting for our NOA2.

Nikkosan- You were right! Sorry to all if I have been complaining too much. We suddenly just got the notice of shipment to NVC! We are so happy. It came in while we were talking to each other on the phone and we heard our phones ping! Hurray! Best of luck to everyone else!

On November 21, 2013, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly.

Thank you for the kind words. We hope so! I see you're in NY. We should get together and celebrate when we're all stateside!

You're gonna love it too.

Paris was one of the few capitals in Europe I had never been to; I just thought it was going to be "meh"...Boy was I wrong!!!

It is an amazing city, great transportation (watch out for pickpocketers though, I got my camera stolen, and I consider myself EXTREMELY street-savvy).

Make sure you have plenty of Nutella & Banana crepes for me as well!!! Road vendors are relatively inexpensive and they're all yummy!

I bet it'll get to your mobile phones and email accounts before the end of next week.

Thanks Lil, I'm sure you will get some good news soon. Nikkosan told me I would get good news and I did, so you will too!

Oh dear, that's quite some responsibility! LOL

Nikkosan- How long do you think it takes from notice of shipping to NVC that NVC receives and can give us the case number?

We just sent an email to the IV Unit in Naples. I know it's a Friday and that is already 4.27pm, so perhaps we will have to wait until Monday to have an answer, but what the heck, if you don't ask, they can't say yes (or NO!), so here we are, trying!

I love planes too!!! The more I fly on them the better, especially if it's for vacations and NOT work! LOL

Yes, a NOA2 in Paris, how romantic... ;-)

Nikkosan- How long do you think it takes from notice of shipping to NVC that NVC receives and can give us the case number?

10 calendar days in our case, from the 8th till the 18th of November (we called the DoS on the 19th, and I was able to establish it got there on the 18th because of the case number we got).

Thank you. That's amazing how you figured out how to analyze case numbers!
