February Filers!

[Udella&Wiz 325]

We sent ours at the end of January but it wasn't received till February so we consider ourselves Feb Filers. You can include us. We have been through a RFE already so hopefully not much longer till NOA2. Back to the obsessive compulsive checking of email.

Thanx Gabacha for including me

Okay, so the list so far goes: safitu, GhanaLove, tonyeck, abdounjen, craigandkym, Gabacha, Thai Pham, GrenadianCrix, serendipitous and alcatrazk. I didn't include some people from the timelines that have not posted because I don't know if they want to be included. I'll let them include themselves if they want.

Okay, there we go.

Adding MM_MS, Adrian + Shannon and Udella&Wiz.

Yeah, that's what I figured, too. I tried a little while ago, but it's busy. I'll try again this evening. I think anyone can call as long as you have the names, DOBs and NOAreceipt #.

yah you can call. just need to know the case number, name of beneficiary, and birthdate. and since thats you, i think you'd know all that info

good luck! (btw the two times i've called they were really friendly!)

yes...they ask for the app # and they ask for the beneficiary's name and DOB!

Think its too soon for me to call?

Tony: The NVC? Not at all. If they haven't sent it on to the consulate (which they probably have) then you can at least get the case # to follow up with.

But try calling closer to when they open or close so you don't pay gads of money on hold from the UK.

I read in a different post that you can call them every other day to ask for the case #. They will tell you that it will take weeks before they have the # but that's not true, they can give it to you as soon as it's generated. They won't give you the DHL tracking number when they send it to the embassy though, but you can guesstimate at the DHL web site when it gets to the embassy so you can call them to find out if they received it.

The thing is, once your case is at the NVC level, you have to be on them like a stalker so you can know where the case is at and not lose track of it.

I wasn't able to call NVC due to being out of the country, I did send them an email a week after VSC said they sent it...they responded in a few days, gave me my # and told me it had already been sent out to the embassy. This thing is moving so fast I can't catch up with it! I say that with complete reverence to all of those who are still waiting...I'm trying to send the good energy your way (I just hope I have enough good energy left to get us through the interview!). Now I'm waiting to get an email back from the Embassy to see if they have it recorded and if they are sending/have sent packet 3.

NOA1!

Hi everyone, just thought I would say that we got our NOA1 that was dated Feb. 28, to the California Service Center, It came to our US address, but since I am living in Poland, I am not sure what day exactly it got there, as my uncle was out of town. But anyway, WOW what a relief that it arrived safely from Poland, via registered air mail! Now comes the longer wait for NOA2...Good Luck and wishing fast approvals to everyone in February!
