TSC JULY 2014 FILERS - NOA2 APPROVALS

[qwas112 8]

We are also approved and Sean has received his letter from London, and as anxious as we both are, now we have to get creative about slowing down the process a bit. My fiancé fell ill in November. He's responding well to treatment, but he can't travel yet. He's not even up for the trip to London for the medical or the interview, never mind moving to the States. His doctor wants to keep an eye on him until late Summer, early Fall. So now that everything is out of Texas and moving along swimmingly, we're looking for ways to slow the process down and buy some time.

We've been advised by the immigration specialist at my congressman's office to write to the embassy and request an extension on the NOA2, so they know we're not abandoning the application. It's all very depressing to be honest with you all.

Posting mostly just to share with my July/TSC compatriots, but if anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears.

Best of luck to you all.

I pray he feels better soon!! tons of positive energy for you two...Best of Luck!!!

I just checked my visa status online, and it has changed to In Transit! However - it also says this: "Your case is in transit to the Consular Section. Your interview date was provided to you by the National Visa Center." Is this just standard phrasing, or..?

Woohoo Congrats!!!!

Today is not a happy day... Yes, I have my NOA2 and it seems to be stuck at USCIS ... But if everything had gone as smooth as we were believed to when we sent in our papers, we would have gotten married today

I'm sorry to hear that...like you said if you've waited this long, you can guys will be a okay and on the bright side you guys are still able to see each other

Just venting a little...

Today is day 87 after NOA2 approval (December 18, 2014) and we are hoping to hear from USCIS/NVC soon, saying they have sent/received our case. This is a long and stressful wait for us. We had planned to marry in February, but instead we were left in a state of libo because USCIS said they sent our case to NVC on January 7, but NVC says they never received it.

We have contacted:

• February 12, NVCResearch@state.gov (no response at all),
• February 13, Senator Cornyn to submit a Congressional Inquiry (waiting for response from USCIS/NVC),
• February 13, Congresswoman Johnson to submit a Congressional Inquiry (waiting for response from USCIS/NVC),
• February 13, Senator Cruz to submit a Congressional Inquiry (waiting for response from USCIS/NVC),
• March 5, USCIS Ombudsman (received email reply, wait up to 60 days for action/response),
• March 6, SCOPSSCATA and TSC NCSCfollowup (received email reply, wait up to 60 days for action/response),
• March 6, USCIS Tier 2 Service Request (received email reply, wait up to 90 days for action/response),

I have done everything I can at this point and now it's just a matter of waiting for someone to get our case found and moving again. The waiting is driving us crazy. Please say a prayer for us and send loving thoughts our way. Thanks so much.

Done venting. I feel better.

My prayers are with you guys...Best of luck!!!! Hopefully you guys will hear something back soon

Don't get discouraged...it normally takes two weeks to get to NVC. Then anywhere from 1-4 weeks at NVC. It's hard the wait but it's worth it!!

As far as I could understand from a different thread, it's yet another number you should get from the NVC... I don't know why they didn't just give that to us when we got the case number, now we have to call again it seems. :/

[renatesol 13]

Our case status now shows as Ready! Aaah! Now I guess I just wait for instructions from the embassy..? Hopefully they're quick, or I'm going to go crazy, lol.

[Unidentified 2,930]

I thought the invoice number was the same as the case number you got from NVC? At least that's what I read in another thread but I can be wrong. Call the embassy to ask to be sure

So nice to be here and see things move forward!

Hi everyone - I've been out of town. Invoice number comes from NVC. Just call them back and they can give it to you without any trouble.
