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

VJ timeline has a "consulate received" event...how do we know when the consulate receives our packets from NVC? Since that VJ timeline event is separate from "Packet 3 received", I'd assume there's a notification or way to track it was received by the consulate prior to receiving packet 3?

You can call NVC to get a new case no., then check it on DOS website.

Mine left NVC and in transit to consulate :)

Hi everyone ... congrats to those who got their NOA2 so far.

SparklePony ... I hope you get yours approved soon, you've been a great amount of help to everyone on this forum. Good things come to those who wait. :)

Me and the fiancé have our interview date for the US Embassy in Seoul, March 14. Will continue to update.

Sad thing though is I lost my job this past month. Been looking for a job, it's been a tough job market in LA. But I have hopes and not only that I have a friend stepping up as co-sponsor for my K-1 Visa. :) So thankful for good friends.

I really hope all of you get your petitions approve, especially all of you Texas Service Center people. :D
