NOA2 approval September 2014 Filers (TSC)

[Angie88 1]

Reviving the thread because we FINALLY got Andrew's Visa Approval today! Woohoo! They rescheduled his Visa interview 3 times after the chaos with the US visa printing system failing. Today he passed the interview, got approved, and they promised they'll have everything ready for him by Tuesday. Only one more week without my love!

Congrats. So happy for u !!

Hi guys! So my fiance passed the interview on July 7th. He left his passport in the embassy and was told that he will be called to come and pick up his visa. The case status says administrative processing. I was just wondering how long will it take to issue him a visa? Thanks!

It's embassy specific.

For Vietnam it is "up to 3 weeks".

Yep, Sweden says 10-14 business days but you can check current wait times for your country here: http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/general/wait-times.html/

Thank you guys! Just wanted to know what to expect. After TCS did not want to get my hopes high. Our case status says administrative processing and I read that it may take up to 60 days. Got a bit nervous.

Hey guys!

I'm sort of confused and need some guidance. I feel like I should be doing something, but the lawyer's office seems cool with everyone just being idle right now.

Has everyone received Packet 3? And then proceeded with making the medical appointment and interview? Or have some of you done things differently?

I called NVC last week and learned that we have a Case Number and that our file is already *in* Montreal at the embassy (our lawyers office didn't know this). The case status online states that we are good to go ahead and book an interview. But, I'm waiting on Packet 3. The paralegals at our lawyers office (I'm really learning that getting a lawyer for this was completely useless so no need to remind me) have told us to look for Packet 3 in the mail, and once we get it, to let them know. My DS-160, in addition to my fiance's Affidavit of Support and pay stubs, etc. are still sitting on our lawyers desk for review.

Is there anything we should be doing? I've read that you can download the Packet 3 forms from the embassy Website, fill them out and send them off. Our lawyers office advised us to wait for Packet 3 and then, before doing anything, letting them know.

I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I just want to do the right thing.

My fiance is very much of the mindframe that "everything will fall into place" but we're getting married (or hoping to!) on October 23rd and I'd REALLY love an interview date for crying out loud.

I feel like we're so close, but because it seems like the lawyer's office is lollygagging, I'm really worried that things are being held up.

Hi! I am very much in the same boat as you. Our case has been Ready since June 19th. We never received packet 3 - our paralegal wanted to wait for that to do the required forms. Luckily I was able to get her to do the DS160 once Michael had his medical and I could show the CEAC showed ready. She still didnt want to submit the readiness form without packet 3 as she wanted to make sure we didnt miss anything. I sent her a link to the London US embassy website which only listed the 3 steps, and then she conceded and submitted the Readiness form on June 26th. If I hadn't done that, we might still be waiting. In her defense, the website she was referencing did not lay it out so nicely, so it looks like there was difference in information out there.

Here we sit, 3 weeks later with still no correspondence from the embassy. I called the NVC, and was able to get the lady to tell me our interview date, which is in about 10 days! I am trying to get the embassy to respond back to my inquiry with the date, so I can go to the lawyer and ask her to send over the forms to M.

I know it feels like you are stuck, but if you guys can find some info about Montreal's steps that must be completed, maybe you can get them to send the information along. I know they have a way of doing things, but you are also paying customers and that should count for something!
