Hi Everyone,

We got our approval e-mail notification on Monday, June 30th and our NOA2 hardcopy on Friday. When can we contact NVC to verify if they received our file?

Hoping everyone gets their approval soon!

USCIS will send you a notice saying that they sent your approved file to the National Visa Center. After that you can start calling to see when they received it.

P.S.....try to call as soon as they open at 7 am. Less waiting.

P.S.S....it also helps to establish your timeline when asking questions on time estimates.

NVC Received 9/26/14

Arrived in US: 3/8/14

STILL HAPPY AND NORMAL AS OF 8/4/2016!!

AOS Approved per phone: 10/22/14
*Received what I thought was a false checklist on this date as well*

*Problems: Called on 10/27/14 11/5/14 and 11/20/14 just to be proactive On all of these dates except the last, NVC kept telling me that my IV document probably hadn't been reviewed yet. On 11/20 the representative told me that the BC needed to be inextensa and the marriage license. True enough I had sent an extracto. But requested a supervisor review bc I knew the marriage lic was inextensa. 2 days later called again and got the same supervisor who told me that the marriage lic needed the proper signed legalizada (sticker on the back)

Sent necessary documents/Received: 11/20/14 and 11/26/14

Called 12/15/14: got Arthur....after he checked and verbally spanked he sent me to supervisor Silvia who said she would pull my file and try to figure it out.

Case complete: 12/19/14 Sylvia called and left a voicemail, called and confirmed later that night and status changed to N/A.

Thank you so much Sylvia. May God bless you and your family.

Appointment date and time received: 12/27/14

***FAST FORWARD***

APPT complete/Visa approved: 2/5/2015

I don't think any January 2014 filers have seen a NOA2 yet. From the forums, it looks like those who filed in October/November 2013 are getting NOA2s and moving along to the NVC stage right now.

According to the tier 1 and 2, each case is different. Who knows what happens behind the closed doors. We can only speculate.

My priority date is Jan 9th and still waiting.

I would say around November, December is when you should expect an approval if your file does not get expedited or somehow luck out. Keep in mind after the approval their is the NVC process within is taking about 2-3 months now.

We got approved today after receiving a message on Friday that they changed our address (which we never did!). Our PD was Jan.7th, so exactly 6 months.

Hubby's birthday is on Wednesday, so this is a great birthday present for him!
