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

Hi November filers!

Hope you don't mind that I'm crashing your thread - our experience thus far has been that our progress is more at November's pace than September's! Since most from the September group seem to have moved on to other threads, I thought I'd check in here and see what people have to say about the NOA2 to NVC step...

We FINALLY received our NOA2 last week after an agonizing 6 months and 1 week and are waiting on some indication that our case has been shipped to the NCV. No NOA2 hardcopy yet...

My question is 2-fold:

1) what do we do with the NOA2 hardcopy once it arrives? Does my fiancé have to have it at his interview or just hang on to it for our files and send a scanned copy?

2) how should we receive the notification that our file has been shipped to the NVC? Another text alert? Change on the USCIS.gov website? Is it possible that we wouldn't receive any news but the case had already been shipped?

Since our NOA1-NOA2 took AGES, we're anxious to keep these next steps flowing smoothly!

Thanks for any info/insight you can offer!

YAY! That's wonderful news!

See? You got the NOA2 after I did and you're already approved while I'm stuck waiting for paperwork. ;)

Still no news on your papers?? Keeping my fingers crossed that those pesky documents come through quickly and that you speed through the last few steps to the finish line - so close!

The petitioner scans a copy and sends it to the beneficiary, along with the rest of the interview documents (the I-134 form and all that). It needs to be kept because it will be necessary for AOS, later.

2) how should we receive the notification that our file has been shipped to the NVC? Another text alert? Change on the USCIS.gov website? Is it possible that we wouldn't receive any news but the case had already been shipped?

It depends. Some people get no notification at all. In my case, we received an email, there was a change in the USCIS website, and later, my fiance received a hardcopy of the notification. The good news is that you don't actually need that confirmation. It's just reassurance at this point. Wait about two weeks, then give NVC a call to ask about your case number.

Still no news on your papers?? Keeping my fingers crossed that those pesky documents come through quickly and that you speed through the last few steps to the finish line - so close!

Thanks. :) It's sloooooowly moving along. With luck, I should have the court decision by mid-April. I hope. XD

Calling NVC to get a case number allows you to track your case on the CEAC website. It helps you know if/when your petition arrives at the Embassy, and then later, when it gets issued.

You might also need the case number for the DS-160 form and for your medical.
