Unfortunately guys I think we were all very very spoiled by seeing a few early approvals. We should be more realistic here and expect a 5 month wait period.. It has already been a month since my NOA1

Sent our petition on the last day of October with USPS and it arrived on 1st Nov! (according to USPS) so I guess that makes us November filers! didn't see a topic for November yet (I did try searchi

Congratulations Roel ! Really great news for you !

You could start to look up on your embassy page on vj what they ask for the packet 3.. http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Poland&cty=Warsaw

Be careful about the documents that need to be dated close to the interview goofy.gif

I only started to work on the packet 3 when I had notice NVC had my case.

Good luck for the rest of the journey !!!!

Kay and Jay that sounds like an approval is arriving really soon !

K1 journey : - I-129f sent : 10/28/13

Yeah I really hope some good news is coming I wish you well on your interview,.

Just got our NOA2, I'm so happy I don't even have words. Fiance is in work and I know he can't check his phone, so excited to tell him! <3 <3

And now I panic since as much I hoped for it, I didn't expect it to happen that soon - What comes now? Do we need to do anything on this stage beside waiting for NVC to give us case number and send the petition to the embassy in Poland?

I'm so happy for you ,congrats will join you soon hopefully.

Congratulations on the approval! That's great news!

Now, like it has been said, you need to start reading up on the reviews for your Embassy and need to start gathering the documents you'll need, the Affidavit of support supporting documents and all that. For example, we don't have an NVC case number yet (will start calling next week), but we already have the statement from my fiance's employer about his employment status. He is going to do his taxes over the weekend so he can mail out everything I need on Monday.

Congrats Roel!

We are being patient after hitting the 3 month mark on waiting for NOA2. It is the hardest part of the Journey. But, we both believe in this and trust one another. We know our love can outlast the paper pushers. Come on TSC! We're still waiting!

Congratulations Gwapo !!

For us it took 3 weeks to get the petition to NVC then 6 days for NVC to send it to our embassy.
You might want to check people that got approved around your dates so you have a better estimation of how things are working lately !

K1 journey : - I-129f sent : 10/28/13

- NOA 2 hardcopy : 12/02/13

- Interview date : 02/20/2014 (approved)
