Yup what Diana said, (mononoke). Not sure about other embassys....I would try to get in contact with VJ members that have already went thru the process at your embassy to shed some light. There might be lots of helpful tips out there. I know i've found plenty.

You know, you'd at least like to be hopeful and think that since you're already half a month behind in number of days when compared to the people from last month, things will go faster when it gets to the embassy because they don't have a backlog. But the truth is, when people don't have mountains of work to do, they get really, really slow. :(

    January 6, 2007 - Florence accepted Tim's begging plea to marry him and had engagement dinner
    January 13, 2007 - Tim had to go back to school again :(
    January 15, 2007 - Started putting together all the documents for the I-129F filing
    January 18, 2007 - Sent to Nebraska Service Center via overnight USPS - expensive :( - but fast :)
    January 24, 2007 - NOA1 Issued
    January 27, 2007 - NOA1 Received by Mail
    May 1, 2007 - Touched

Lenka and Howard,

I thought you got a new (maybe visa) case number at the NVC. Thats the way I understood it anyhow.

Yes, I understand it the same way as you. USCIS has your file under one case number while they have it in their possession. When they are done with that file, they send it over to NVC and NVC assigns you a new number that stays until the consulate stage. But to inquire about the new NVC case number you need the USCIS number (besides the beneficiary name, DOB, etc) - at least that is how I understood it. ;)

But again, I can be wrong...

You're right, Len & How. Our case number went from an WAC number to an LDN number (for London) at NVC and for the consulate. I got the LDN number by calling the NVC and giving them our WAC number (plus my fiance's full name, DOB and country of residence).

In regards to this process, it definitely is an understatement. Its a wonder that any of us have any sanity left by the time our loved ones make it here. :wacko::blink:
