Trisha89, baby I know how you feel. Im in the same boat here, soooooo tired of waiting and waiting.... it is sooo frustrating and depressing. My fiance is dippresed long ago over this process. I feel like he lost his faith and hope, even though he wouldn't say it..... It is SO wrong how they made this process a freaking Waiting Hell.... No changes on uscis site since Sept 4. I dont wanna tell you lets hang on a little longer im sure you've heard that too many times.... thats the last thing I wanna hear right now myself :(((

Well Jadey I'm with you and starting to get things in order. That way when the embassy wants papers we are ready to go. We have also stared at the NOA1 too many times!

Trisha89 I know exactly how you feel. It is Too much waiting, im just so dippresed over this process now... Seeing the same status over and over again every time I login to USCIS site :( Have no motivation ones so ever. Loosing my faith, especially after seeing all other get approved so fast without much waiting is just frustrating :(

Well, the embassy said that they has not received my case file yet. But CEAC status changed to ready yesterday. Maybe it's just not in their system yet?

Ours has been on Ready status for over a week now but the physical files are not there yet. Great news is looks like 2 big packages are being delivered today so we hope our files are there since NVC and DoS confirmed shipping them last week. Yikes!

Your interview is coming up next week! I hope that your file is together with that shipment too! I am not going to think too much about mine yet. I thought that when status changed to in transit, they have sent the file out? Oh well, I have approximately 10 weeks to get everything done on my side..

I received my case number yesterday. NOA2 was oct.28 and status that it was send to NVC was on the 6th....so those of you had your NOA2's send around the same time I would recommend calling and checking on the case status. I went through Texas service center not sure if that makes a difference to you all or not. Good luck everyone :D

We filed in September, and had been waiting until I received text message yesterday. If you see my signature you can think like for 2 months file was lost/idle doing nothing and now they are are sending second NOA1. We already had case number with SRC, now just new one with EAC.

Does anyone know how long it takes for the status to change from in transit to ready on the CEAC site. According to DHL my file got there on Nov 12 and it still reads in transit

Maybe you can help me since you are ahead if me in this journey. I got my letter from NVC with my case number but it tells me my fiance has to fill out the ds-160 online. Does everyone have to do this form? And what if my fiance doesnt have access to an internet
