Marrying on Valentine's, when you sent the petition in November, was a huge stretch. :)

Hope you get your NOA2 soon. Have you had confirmation they've received your RFE reply?

Congrats to all that got approved. Yes, it is frustrating. Our NOA1 was November 5. We have heard nothing. One phone call and told to wait until we hit the 5 month mark. Oh well. We are in love and patient. This is the hardest part of the Journey. Hopefully, she will be approved soon.

Congratulations to your approval!

TODAY left the last couple that I knew here that was still waiting on noa2 like we do..... They were From august fillers 2013 and TSC too!

So my fiance and me are the only ones I know that wait since august now for NOA2 can anyone imagine how I feel??????? I feel I cry myself out,..... I can't hold it back anymore.... It's to much now, it is so unbelievable and to think we are alone now and wait for noa2 here..... I mean I don 't know how it is outside there in the whole world... if people still wait or not.... Probably.... But these people here were people that I was looking to a long time, because they were in the same situation as my fiance and I do, we also filled with a lawyer and now we are the only ones who still wait! Omg i'm sooooooooooooooooo sooooooooooooo soooooooooooooo disappointed everybody....... Omg ???????

Hello NovFilers I didn't even call those "Lovely People" (@@)

At the NVC this week.... I've completely given up...

Good Luck every one else..

I found this while looking for NVC information:

The NVC has a process of randomly pulling a certain, unknown number of "K" visa petitions for further administrative processing. It is unknown what exactly takes place during this process. As it is in AP post interview. It may be background/name checks and/or document verification. Some CSR's at NVC have said that they are "verifying documents". But the most common answer will be that "There is no timeframe for the process". There actually is a very predictable timeframe based on VJers experience that has been shared since December 2008. The average time that a case is held during this AP is around 50 days, give or take a day or so. You can call at least once a week to ask if your file has been released out of AP and forwarded to the consulate. Most petitioners that are pulled for random AP DO receive a standard letter from NVC stating that their file will be forwarded to the embassy "within a week", this is a standard letter which is mailed out whether one is in AP or not. If you find that your case has been held at NVC for longer than a week or so; it is advisable to call and ask directly if your file is in AP.

Source here. This would probably explain why you're stuck at NVC, and give you a time frame for when you should get unstuck. Hope it helps.
