Getting NVC notice

[SamAndJulie 0]

Hey guys,

Since everybody knows that i'm overly hyper about getting my visa done, I wonder if anyone out there who knows how long does it normally take for Sam to get the NVC notice saying my packet has been sent to my consulate? Can anyone share your experience please!

Congrats to those who got there visa approved recently, and good luck to those who are getting close to receive their NOA2

Check out my Sig. My NVC letter was dated Jan 31st. My offical NOA2 date is Jan 17th.

You need to look at other couples' timelines.

The VJ website has a wealth of information contained within that will answer many if not all of your questions if you take the time to look. This is a DIY community, it is time for you to start DIY.

Hey hey, be nice now, take it easy and breathe...lol

I just thought we were free to talk here... I'm sorry if I offend any of you, but I would like to talk to people who would want to share their experience, thanks for your advices anyway. And by the way, I did look through the site before posting, if I missed any part of it, please do give me direction.

thanks a lot.

SamandJulie - I'm afraid fwaguy is right (aside from being a lot nicer about it than most people would be). A lot of the questions you've asked here have painfully clear answers if you'd only do a little research and reading on this site.

As far as being 'hyper' to get the visa - that will be the death of you in this process if you don't calm down a bit and find some patience. Why give yourself an ulcer over something you basically cannot control?

You can call NVC, (don't know the number but somewhere on noa2 or on VJ) and ask them if they have recieved the NOA2. They can tell you if they have approved it and moved it onto the embassy. But it can take a few weeks to get approved then to the Embassy. Then the Embassy can take another couple of weeks to send the Packet 3 along. Goodluck.

Nobody's being anything but nice... I think the suggestion that, given that you seem to spend a lot of time on this site, it would be a good idea to devote some of that time to reading through the guides, the FAQs, old forum threads (you can learn sooooo much from just browsing the forums, seriously) is a good one... if you do that, and take some time to try and absorb the information, it won't be long before you start to feel like you have a much better understanding of what's going on, what's coming up next, what to expect, what you need to do. Which can only be a good thing - it should make you feel more calm about the whole process, because you'll know which bits are out of your control and which bits you can actually do something about (preparing the stuff you'll need when you get Packet 3, and for your interview, for instance)... and then you can direct all your hyper-ness into thinking about things that are actually within your control!

If anyone has a problem answering a question because the information is listed some where on this site then don't answer. Some times people are just looking for a little conversation with others that are going through the same experience.

We called NVC and found out it had been sent to the consulate long before we got the actual letter ..

People who have been at VJ for a while (myself included) obviously don't have a 'problem' answering questions. If we did, we would never have been here as long as we have. Nor would we even have a message board if folks didn't like sharing common experiences.

All that was suggested here was a bit of DIY on the OP's part. I also don't think that comment was derived from the question in this thread alone, but from the multiple threads the OP has started, often about easy to research or minor points.

Some people never receive a letter from the NVC... I found out that our package has reached the embassy when i had packet 3 in my mailbox

Conversation is what OT is for

Ah, excuse me, but what is DIY?
