January 2014 Filers

[sweetswinks 400]

I noticed that you didn't have a timeline. Would you mind filling it out?

Has any Canadians gotten through? Seems like the quick ones are going more by country than by "order".

As far as wedding I planned for end of November. Going by Gov. estimate it should be September but we dded a few months just in case. I was also HIGHLY recommended not to do this. I'm taking a big risk in doing it.

I heard there was a way to get the visa expidited if work was offering them a job? Its something I might look into for my fiancee because a few companies have asked for him but dont want to sponsor.

Congratulations everyone, I'm hoping all of these approvals are a sign that I'll have some news very soon! It will be 2 months this monday since I received NOA1….

It will also be 2 months for me on monday since NOA1.We should keep in touch to see each others timeline updates.

I filed around the same time as you, and still haven't gotten anything. I guess we are all in the same boat in the slow texas center.

Here's hoping January gets some movement by the end of March! I know the wait is long and it is not to be expected any sooner than 5 months. I hope all of those filers from 2013 get their approvals soon too.

Hello everyone

So last Monday our documents were sent to London consulate. I've been checking on https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/ but it keeps coming up with the message "Your search did not return any data."

Does anyone know why this would be? It is likely that our case no. is incorrect?

Hi!

either the number is not correct or you're not choosing "immigrant visa" at the CEAC status check webpage. When I selected the "non-immigrant visa" option I got the same message you did.

Hope this works! If not call NVC and verify the case number.

It has been 8 days since I found out my case number (via telephone) but no sign of packet 3 nor any email.

Checked CEAC and its status displayed as "In Transit"...any idea on what kind of notice I'm suppose to expect?

If you registered for the e-mail notification, you'll get an e-mail telling you your case number when they get around to sending it.

In my case, I took the case number, and used it to pay the visa fee, and schedule the medical, and embassy interview in Manila. Yours could be different, but in my case, you don't have to wait for packet 3.

Thanks. Unfortunately, Seoul doesn't want to take visa payment prior until the official notice (packet 3) has been received by me. She called to move forward since we had our case number but was advised against it. Since there are only a handful of people working at that embassy I'm hesitant to play the "number" game hoping to get a positive answer. I'll wait for few more days.

Haha probably. I'm always checking and my fiance is always calming me down and telling me that it will come when it comes. I feel the same exact way. I also use the various time line reports to try to figure out how long it will take, but no way of predicting sadly.

I'm the compulsive checker! My fiancé has only just learned how to check the site and he's only done it once

That's the infamous NOA2! Congrats! Now, when the service center gets around to it, they'll send your packet to the NVC, who will, when they get back from their hourly smoke break, on even numbered hours, on days that end with E, scan your case into their system, and ship it off to the embassy. Unless they somehow deem that you need more "Administrative Processing", in which case they'll hang on to it for no particular reason, like they are mine. :-)

CONGRATS though! You've made it through what is normally, the longest part of the process!
