I feel like I'm the only one who got unlucky (should I say screwed?) in the end! :dead::dead::dead:

Other Canadian filers got their visas in 1-3 days! :bonk::bonk::bonk:

I had wondered if it would be a bit delayed for you because it was Remembrance Day/Veterans Day the day after your interview, so that would delay things by at least one day. Plus you are on the west coast. Fingers crossed that you will have it today!!

Probably Remembrance Day/Veterans Day screwed me up! :dead:

That's why I tried to change my interview date, but I was unable to do so. :bonk:

I've sent at least four emails to the Montreal Consulate. Nothing so far. :dead:

I just called them up and talked to someone. She told me it could take up to a MONTH! :bonk:

I asked to talk to her supervisor, but she refused and hung up! :dead:

I HATE and HATE and HATE babysitting everyone (USCIS, NVC, and Consulate)! :ranting:

Visa is showing issued (printed) today! :)

1. Thank you for all of the kind words.

2. Congratulations to all...too many to congratulate individually. I truly am happy to see many of us who have been riding the same pine for the same amount of time, actually get approved right around the same date.

3. For those still waiting, be as patient as possible. Your time is coming and soon you will be with the one you love.

Thanks again! :dancing:

Since getting our interview date I've been logging onto the CEAC page every day, waiting for it to change to "in transit." It's said "NVC" until today. Now it says "BOGOTA." I assume they forgot to change the status upon sending it, and once it got to Bogotá there was some sort of delivery confirmation and so they finally remembered to update the current processing site.

Has anyone else had their case reach the embassy without ever seeing "in transit"?

USCIS (Priority date April 1, Approval April 17, no RFEs)

March 28, 2014: I-130 sent via FedEx from Bogotá to Chicago Lockbox

April 1, 2014: Delivered to Chicago Lockbox at 10:29 a.m. according to FedEx tracking; signed for by J. CHYBA (date confirmed by My Case Status)

April 4, 2014: NOA1 e-mail received at 12:17 a.m.; case accepted and routed to CSC for processing. Check cashed.

April 17, 2014: Changed mailing address with USCIS Tier 2 representative. He also confirmed that our case had arrived to the CSC and that our NOA1 date is April 3.

April 18, 2014: NOA2 e-mail received at 12:30 a.m. Case status online changed to post-decision activity; date of "last updated" changed to April 17. Change of address e-mail received at 3 a.m. Status changed back to initial review on e-mail and online. Date of "last updated" now April 18. Called and spoke to two Tier 2 reps; both were useless.

April 21, 2014: Approval confirmed verbally by Tier 2 rep. Order put in to send second NOA2 hard copy to new address. Instructed to ignore online case status.

April 25 or 26, 2014: NOA1 hard copy arrives to old apartment in Bogotá. Priority date actually April 1. (April 3 was the notice date.)

May 16: USCIS change of address e-mail received

May 19: USCIS e-mail received saying a duplicate notice was mailed on this date. Case status now set to "Acceptance."

May 22: NOA2 duplicate hard copy arrives to U.S. address

June 6, 2014: AOS payment shows as PAID in payment portal

June 17, 2014: Response received from nvcinquiry@state.gov. "The correspondence submitted is currently under review. An appropriate action will be taken once this review is completed."

June 24, 2014: AOS package sent via FedEx overnight shipping from Houston to NVC

July 1, 2014: AOS package scanned

July 18, 2014: Checked payment portal and saw: "CASE NUMBER CHANGE: The applicant's case number, [bGT#], has been changed to [bNS#]." Called and confirmed. Also said today marked 30 business days since NVC received DS-261; operator said she would have that reviewed and make IV payment available ASAP.

I am sorry austin….. :girlwerewolf2xn: .. i know its frustrating…you are soooo close….

but don't fret...

your interview was on a Monday. Tuesday was a holiday, so this means they issued it on wednesday. I would say if it got out on wednesday -- you will get it either tomorrow or latest by wednesday. I am sure before this weekend..or even before you guys will get your POE. :clock::clock::rolleyes:

but it will by over before you KNOW IT!!! :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

Probably Remembrance Day/Veterans Day screwed me up! :dead:

That's why I tried to change my interview date, but I was unable to do so. :bonk:

They issued my visa on Wed. :thumbs:

It's probably still sitting on someone's desk at the consulate since they haven't even sent me a waybill number. :no:

I called their emergency number this time. I was told not to call the number since I'm not an American citizen and waiting for a passport is not an emergency issue (well, it is to me)! LOL :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

I called their emergency number, but I was on hold for a long time! :lol::lol::lol:
