NOA1 date January 5th and still waiting... this does not get any easier.

I have a question about receipt numbers. I've been following the TSC Fairy reports and I'm wondering if the "unique ID" represents the last 4 digits of your receipt number?

The reason I'm curious is because the last 4 digits of my receipt number start with 8xxx, yet none of the IDs I see on those reports go higher than 6xxx. Am I missing something? I see lots of people after us being approved (SRC159013xxxx while ours is SRC159012xxxx), just wondering how it's possible to check on numbers more in the range when I don't see any 8s.

Thanks!

Hi Everyone, I've been stalking this forum for MONTHs. I was thrilled to see a Jan 2015 filers forum but truthfully I was more excited to see that there is a Jan 2015 TSC forum. I barely squeaked int

I'm going to run the risk of going against the grain here and maybe upsetting some of you. Comparing your cases to other people's in an exercise in futility if not frustration. No two cases are alik

I received a NOA1 January 22 2015. I'm not worried about getting A NOA2 LETTER I'm more concerned with what are the steps after between USCIS and the NVC to the consulate interview and visa etc fees who has a guide line?

hi there @ginny, i would look on this wiki page under the k-1 section for more info as to the steps:

http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/Special:AllPages

i do feel your pain; however, as i want to know if the time between getting the NOA2 and the NVC is just spent gathering documents or if there's a specific action that should be taken--but it looks like no one's going to answer.

i know once the visa petition leaves the NVC, then it goes to the country-specific embassy and each embassy has different info that they send to the beneficiary and then you get a new type of number and can register for the interview and medical and stuff--at least that's what i understand from reading posts on here. i wish there was something that covered the time between NOA2 and Embassy-time.

I received a NOA1 January 22 2015. I'm not worried about getting A NOA2 LETTER I'm more concerned with what are the steps after between USCIS and the NVC to the consulate interview and visa etc fees who has a guide line?


i was getting the same approval guesstimate from late july to mid-august and then suddenly my NOA2 came last friday night, so things could vary--it's not a hard and fast approval date. i guess it all depends on how fast the processing person moves through the stacks that they have to process.

my noa1 was January 14th not the 22nd. when you go online here it tells you to expect a approval date in late August?

No the unique ID is not the last 4 of your receipt number.

January 6th!

Congratulations! I am happy to see that some January filers are being approved. TSC received our forms on January 26th. So it has been 5 months and a little over a week now that we have been waiting. I really do hope more approvals start rolling in for us all. :clock:
