NOA2 approval thread - NON-FILIPINO AUGUST 2014 TSC FILERS

[coniefl 28]

Mine seems to be stuck at NVC...I've read about some possible reasons, one was that they are waiting for the embassy to have an open appointment date before they send it.....but I'm not liking it being there this long.

I'm not the only one though, if you play with the case # you can view other peoples case statuses on CEAC, quite a few are at the NVC that are going to the same embassy, but it could be for different reasons, like different a different type of visa that require a priority date, etc.because I tracked some as far back as November 2014..there is no way to tell which type of visas applications they are.

If anyone else is interested in seeing other case statuses here is how:

I found this information in another post.

Case#: CCCyyyydddqqq

CCC = city code

yyyy = year i.e. 2015

ddd = day of the year in which case was received by NVC + 500

qqq = order of application received that day. (001 first appliation, 002 second application, etc)

Example: NVC received your application on Jan 25, 2015 and your city is Montreal(MTL - not sure if this is the actual code for Montreal)

MTL = Montreal

yyyy = 2015

ddd = 525 = 25 + 500 (as Jan 25 is the 25th day of the year)

qqq = 001 - first application received

Your case number would look like this: MTL2015525001 - see for yourself verify your own case # using the method described

So to look at other cases for that day(if any) just change the last 3 digits. 001,002,003 etc.

If you want to see another day change the ddd portion. (500 + day of the year)

It seems insecure, because anyone can look at your timeline, find the NVC receive date and embassy info to figure out the city code and then create your case #, but I don't think they can't do anything with it besides look at the status, because NVC requires more than just a case number when inquiring about applications.

I'm really happy for all of you August that are approved. I am NOA - 8/21/14, and my depression is really starting to set in =/ I called today and the tier 1 wouldn't transfer me to a tier 2. I have a very mild predicament I don't talk loud or rude to anyone and this lady was just going off on me. "Sir we can not comment, sir I can't transfer you." It's not so much what she said as much as what was in her tone, the lady felt like she hated me. I feel humiliated and helpless. =[

I tried the tracking method. We are 001 on a Monday, so I'm assuming the next one before us was the Friday prior. There was only one and it has been sent to the embassy. Being a small country though there aren't enough to give much of a pattern but at least that shows us we're next.. we don't know how long that will be exactly but I guess it's soon.

oops no.. I may be wrong about that. Someone the day after us, Tuesday, has moved on to the embassy... does this just depend which desk you are on or the type of visa and what appointments are available?

Please tell me we aren't going to have the extreme randomness we experienced with approvals.

I think it might be only slightly random if that's any help.. just trying to check if I'm on the right track and also noticed that there are one or two after that are still waiting so perhaps the 'out of order' person is on a different type of visa anyway. (I can probably live with that)

I think I would just keep calling and again ask to speak to a Tier 2 person and emphasise the length of time you have been waiting.... you are at around 7 months which is not unusual for July/August NOA1's.. you may be close to hearing something anyway, but I would still try to call. It does sometimes take a bit more to get someone to listen to you. Best of luck.

(Also your Profile says India and your timeline says Japan... where is your beneficiary from?)

Sorry to hear that :/ You should definitely call again!

I found that list of what we need to get from our us fiancé. There is no mention of the tax return. Is it really necessary to have one and is it easy to obtain?

What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):

1. Send an original letter affirming your desire to marry your fiance(e) and your continued support of the K-1 Visa. Sign and date the form. This will be similar to the letter you provided with the I-129F, but dated much closer to the interview (it will have most likely been several months since you submitted your I-129F).

2. I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is signed, with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all.

3. You will need several items (for the above form). Gather duplicate evidence of income and resources as appropriate:

(A) Statement from an officer of the bank/financial institution with your deposits, identifying the following: 1. date account opened; 2. total amount deposited for the past year; 3. present balance

(B) Statement(s) from your employer on business stationary showing: 1. Date and nature of employment; 2. salary paid; 3. whether position is temporary or permanent (also include copies of your last two pay stubs and your previous W-2 for the associated employer if available)

BEGIN COLLECTING THESE ASAP WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR NOA2!

4. A copy of the NOA2 that you received in the mail. (backup information; the embassy will have copies of this as well)

5. Proof of your ongoing relationship. This needs to be taken to the interview! Include photos, travel documents, emails, online chat logs (pick several over the prior few months), etc.. from between the time you filed and present (NOA1 until date-now).

Examples: Copies of land line and cell phone bills, appropriate emails and letters you have sent including the stamps on envelopes (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present. You can also include a copy of engagement ring receipt (this is something that is a big optional - do not worry if you do not have a ring yet!)

Hi Curlies,

What is the general consensus from those who have been through the consulate in France? Some of them are a bit more difficult than others, but as a Visa Waiver country, I would think France might be a bit more relaxed. London doesn't seem to insist on proving income every different way. We selected W2, 3 pay stubs, letter from employer and are arranging a letter from the bank. We may well have more than we need, but I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. If your consulate has a similar approach, then I'd think you could leave out one of the means of proof, unless there are reports that they are insistent upon the tax return.
