Is the NVC someone we can call for updated info after our petitions leave it for our respective embassies? If so, sweet. Bonus.

Also, I too love your Keats quote.

I'm also a high school English teacher and lover of Keats! :D

I was wondering about NVC knowing our interview dates too....

Loving all the English teacher and Keats love! I'm getting my PhD in English (my specialty is British lit, 1630s-1830s; I write about Keats!) and I teach English at my university, so I'm one of you!! Keats's letters are truly amazing...some better than his poetry.

I feel like this visa process is a test of our attempts to maintain negative capability...existing in uncertainty and finding some beauty and poetry in it despite discomfort and pain....

I don't know about that but I will be calling NVC on Monday since that is a bank holiday here and the Consulate will be closed. I don't want to wait til Tuesday to know the date.

Maybe the NVC will be helpful, maybe they won't, but i'm going to try.

Soooooo, this wild adventure turns out to be even more amusing!

It turns out the service centre accidentally sent our file to NVC and then on to the London embassy! ( that's why I didn't get any noa2 email, noticiation, letter, online case update ect ect ect) we didn't even get approved! We finally got a letter today stating that we didn't get approved, it was still pending, it was accidentally sent to the NVC and forwarded on. But due to the inconvience they'll approve us today! Lucky, lucky me

CEAC case updated online as well, so hopefully we should be receiving an interview letter soon!

Oh my god! Well, at least they were nice enough to approve it. This also just shows what a mess their processing procedure is!

[Abby & Andre 27]

Wow thats crazy!! So youre NOA2 will be dated today and your case is ready for the interview? What a story you will have to look back on haha!

I think It was more of a well we'll have to approve it considering you've already had your medical and you have an interview coming up :') To be fair, I'm not angry about it, I understand they have so many applications and it's just a human error! I think it actually speeded up my process!

Yeah! My NOA2 is 5th of May, I doubt it will cause any problems but I made them sent a transcript of what exactly happened instead of their usual standard office reply mumbo jumbo! I questioned zack as to if he'd broken into the USCIS building and mailed it off himself, unfortunately I don't think he's stealthy enough :')

that's insane! I'm glad it's working in your favor. It would suck if they'd decided to send it back for "approval." Keep us updated.

Also wanted to add that I still think you were on to something when you speculated that maybe it was processed while their system was down back in March.

I recieved my NOA1 on February 11th and I am still waiting for my NOA2 and I am at CSC. I am starting to think my case did get lost. I start my new lease on my apartment next month, which my fiance is on the lease I am starting to lose hope . Who else is waiting for their NOA2 at CSC????

Hi we're still waiting too but at TSC. NOA1 on February 25, this is our second petition (first petition got denied) for USCIS fault!!! and almost 1 year of waiting destroying our lifes.

Good Luck to all who is still waiting for NOA2..... keeping my fingers crossed for all of us!! I hope our Approvals are on their way!!!

Hmmm do you see any other feb filers on VJ's timeline at CSC who are waiting? I'm sure there are some--I know, too, that once you get an adjudicator....that's your fate. I always wonder--what if said adjudicator goes on medical or maternity leave or vacation? If it's still within 5 months, does the adjudicator's stuff not get forwarded to another? I wish they made the process more transparent so we could at least know HOW people get randomly given their approvals or RFEs before others...wishing the best for you!

I do have a question for UK filers, though: how long after dhl tracking showed your case had been received did your CEAC status move from "In Transit" to either "Received" (does it move to that?) or "Ready"? Thanks!

Mine took four days!

Thanks! Was it moved to "Received" or to "Ready"? Technically our case got in on Saturday, but the consulate was closed and Monday was a bank holiday here, so just today DHL said it was officially signed for by the mysterious Daniel Just hoping the status changes to "ready" within a week or so, since Jake's medical is a week from this upcoming Monday!
