Well good news all over the place! Congrats to George, Sarah, and all the others that have received those golden NOA2. Looks as though CSC did some work while I was in the UK! Already people before and after us getting approved, so I hope and pray we hear something soon!!!

Congrats again, and GOOD LUCK with the rest of the journey!!

July 5th interview!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RobandTania 1]

This afternoon, I received a call from a staffer of my congressman's office. The call was in response to a letter I emailed to their office May 17, regarding the K-1 processing slowdown. A week or so ago she called CSC using the congressional information line. Great I thought! It turns out her information was the same as we get from the customer service line. That is, they are now processing November 13 129f's, my 129f is pending, and I have almost 12 weeks longer until CSC processes mine!

She was quite surprised when I told her my application was approved May 10, sent to the NVC May 18, and arrived in Kiev May 23. My fiancee already has packet 3, and her medical is scheduled for Thursday the 31st. The USCIS website showing the status of my petition was updated only last Frday evening, the 25th.

Of course, she asked what my problem was, since CSC was working on November's petitions, and my January filing was approved 2-1/2 weeks ago! I then told her about visajourney.com, and pointed out the timeline information. We talked about 30 minutes on the phone, it was very informative on both sides.

I got the hard copy of the NOA2 today. I called NVC but I am not there yet. I figure why bother calling when I still need a couple more documents to send Marlon.

DON'T ABANDON THIS THREAD! lol

Wowww!! You got your NOA2 earlier than us Sarah! Thats awesome... Congratulations!

What gives? Anyone else from May 3rd approvals get their NOA2 or NVC letter? I still don't have either. I called USCIS, today and eventhough 30 days will not be up until Sunday, the guy submitted the request to issue my NOAs and told me to wait 30 days.

I also called NVC, because I still haven't gotten a letter from them by post (I did get an e-mail in response my inquiry which said the case had been forwarded to the embass). The lady said they sent and e-mail. I was like yeah, but I never got the hardcopy. She laughed and said she'd put in a request for a hardcopy. Guess she's wondering why I'm fixated on a letter. But I want all our "i's" dotted and "t's" crossed.

I an probably let that NVC letter go, but the NOA2...whats the deal.

Just wanted to share and vent.

We have not seen ANYTHING in writing from USCIS or the NVC since the first week of February when I received the hard copy of NOA1 from CSC. Our NOA2 approval was May 10, NVC received our petition the 18th, the embassy in Kiev received the package the 23rd. "Ski" in Kiev was notified by the embassy May 25th, last Friday. Using the NVC number, she immediately set up the medical for tomorrow! Last night, I called Kiev and set up the interview for Tuesday, July 3.

Maybe you can get the case numbers you need, and do everything without the actual documents.

Hi, George! Yeah, I think I'm just getting really stressed (and excited!). Thankfully, I have the case numbers, and we've already got an interview date. I've been waiting to send Teddy a DHL package until I get the letters because I've heard the Embassy in Ethiopia can be kinda crazy sometimes (for example there is a $100 entrance fee to the Embassy). But I guess we'll be fine without them.

Congrats on the interview date!!!!

Hi ya'll!

So I got impatient last night reading about everybody receiving Packet 3's and interview dates, and decided to email the Embassy. They replied already saying they received our case and are sending me the instructions today! Yippee

I still have to receive some documents Howard sent me last week, but then I can act really fast. Hopefully I can schedule my interview soon and be with my Love-Bug in a couple of weeks.

Hip Hip Hooray!

Lenka & Howard,

Good job taking the lead away from the mail offices in the various agencies! If all we need are the case numbers and downloadable forms, why wait?
