February 2014 filers

[Tina and Johan 206]

After 32 LOOOOOOONNGGGGGG minutes on hold, they have no record of my petition yet.

[D&Sev 1]

Just got NoA2!!! I129F APPROVED!!! Such a great feeling. I literally got off work at 6pm thinking there goes another day lost... as I was waiting for the train to go home I received the text telling me to check the website as my case status has been adjusted. This text came at around 7pm.

Super nervous checking the website as I thought it could be denied, but I lucked out and everything is approved! I'm super happy. CSC is cranking these February petitions out right now, so everyone else keep a lookout for those approvals.

Good luck everyone!

Now onto the next step

I called NVC and finally got the Case number and Invoice ID number! I asked if we can schedule our interview in US embassy in Manila and she said I have to wait for the embassy to get the documents from them and the Embassy will send a letter to the beneficiary. I asked if there is a way for me to find out if they already forward it to the consulate and she said I have to wait for NVC confirmation through postal mail. I've read that some members here already schedule their interview even if they have not received the letter from the consulate. Any comments or suggestions, especially from members who already done with this phase. Thank you.

Hello BB_27 how many days or week after your approval NVC give you your case number? Its our 9th day today we haven't try and call yet, they told my fiance to wait for 2 weeks before calling. Thank u.

Hi CjBryan, 12 days after I got my NOA 2 approval. Try it again in a couple of days, they will probably have your case number. This was my 2nd call, I called them last Friday and they haven't received it yet. I just tried calling today and just got lucky. NVC said they just got and just assigned the case number and also she gave me the invoice ID number.

[CjBryan19 11]

That was fast, they told us to wait for two weeks before calling, i'll tell him to call when he wakes up thank you so much!

Congratulations to all of the new approvals, I'm so excited for all of you! Hopefully mine will come soon I'm starting to wonder what happened to it....

Congratulations to everyone who got approved recently

After being on hold for almost 30 mins, we just got our NVC case number. They received our case yesterday! The online status says it's still at NVC.

[techmedic 8]

Man, all these approvals... And I still have got nothing. The only thing my status says is that they changed my address on March 12 (Which is true).

Anyways Congrats to those who got theirs... I hope mine is right around the corner.

[ohmygoshguys 1]

ugh. I called NVC... 8 calls to get past the busy signal, 21 minutes on hold, and the woman who finally answered told me it takes FOUR TO FIVE WEEKS for them to receive, and I should call back.

Hi everyone, I hope your waiting goes well!

Have any of you travelled to the US after getting NOA1? Did you have any problems with the entrance to the US? I'm planning to go next month and I wanted to ask you if it's safe!

Thanks!

[YandP 6]

We are still waiting for our NOA 2. Didn't have any problems at all traveling. Just make sure you have some papers to back up your words that you have some good reasons to come back home ( a letter from your employer, proof that you own something back home etc. + return tickets )

Good morning! Johan is currently here visiting from Ireland, and it all went very smoothly for him and his son at the airport! I was super worried after reading a bunch of horror stories about people being turned away at the border after traveling for hours to get here. But they didn't ask him ONE question. The border patrol DID, however, chat up his 10-year-old son. IDK if he made a difference being here too or not.

Johan brought a stack of papers with him: a copy of his lease, a letter from his boss stating his vacation days and when he's expected back to work, a letter from me stating he's staying here on specific dates, a calendar from his son's school showing the days they're off for spring break. flight itinerary, copy of our NOA1 AND NOA2, etc. and he didn't have to show any of it. It was a bit anticlimactic, actually. LOL And I'm relieved about that. Next time he's flying into the US, it should be to live here.

one thing that maybe makes our case unique: he precleared in Toronto, Canada. He'd originally planned a stopover there, and the Canadian border patrol were jerks to him. Rude and accusatory. Perhaps because they passed him on through, the US did too. I don't know. What I do know is that, horror stories aside, you CAN travel here while your K1 is being processed.

Good luck!
