Hang in there!

I am still awaiting i130 approval... :clock:

Are you calling NVC nonstop? Hehe I know I would!

UnaMexicana

We tried to call at least once a week as the wait time is crazy, so far, we got no case # nor IIN... Guess we need to be more patient <_<

By the way, my I-130 was approved on Oct 20 and my case wasn't there until Nov 3.

Time is passing by but at least it's passing. 3 months gone ~ better than being day 1 ... off to the post. TSC is moving but just not as fast as we'd like. Soon Guys. We just need to keep positive and get reading for the next round.

Thanks peeps :)

I'd say we seem to have a pretty great group of filers here ;) Thanks for keeping the positive energy up :) I'm adding my own good vibes to the mix :D

Can't wait to start cheering the NOA2's as they come in :)

Remember to read through what you need for stage two at the NVC so you're prepped and ready..... the latest news is that they don't want the originals sent in - only photocopies :) yay!

Best wishes all :D

Another August filer here... NOA2 receipt seems so very far away...

I'm hoping the holiday season doesn't slow them down too much!

Looking forward to seeing some approvals come through on VJ :)

Wow! Congrats!!

Check out the NVC thread they have here monthly - especially the first post!!!! (http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/524875-nvc-filers-december-2014/).... and read Saylin's wiki on the NVC process (http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process)

These are an absolute goldmine for information!!! And be sure to read very carefully!! It seems most people are getting checklists because the enter the wrong income numbers on the I-864 or I-864ez, or they miss the military question and leave it blank......

In the downtime while waiting for our NOA2 (still waiting.....) I am a bit of a research nut and have been reading the NVC threads every month to see what others are doing.......

Best of luck!!!!
