April 2015 Filers

it been 11 days since I got our case # and we still didn't got the email from NVC

NVC is terrible about notifications, so don't expect any mail from them any time soon. I was told on the phone that they don't send anything, and then 2 months later (when we were already out of NVC and well into the embassy stage), I got an e-mail and a letter in the mail from them with my case number. Totally pointless. Just keep calling.

That's freaking stupid though! lol

I'm still waiting updates from the embassy

Try to put the NOA2 out of your mind and focus on the good times you will have on your trip. Then, when you least expect it, bam! there it will be. You will probably get it while you are there and it will be extra special, then you can celebrate together

I'm still waiting updates from the embassy

My fiancé called NVC and still no updates or case # :ranting: We got out NOA2 on the 17th June for God's sake...USCIS told us they have sent it to them in June (didn't tell the exact date, but still in June).... Getting frustrated...

DAY 110 - People count up the faults of those who keep them waiting - French proverb

Let's see, I can think of at least 110 faults why someone has kept us waiting ... ahem ... USCIS????

Happy Monday all. Best of luck to all those waiting patiently for any kind of response, and congratulations to all that are moving forward. On the final approach to vacation. This week can not go fast enough. Getting butterflies all over again. I feel like we are meeting for the first time.

6 days to Beijing

Have a safe trip, Rush Hour and enjoy your vacay with your fiancee.

My fiance has booked a flight to the Philippines too earlier for us to be together in our first anniversary this August 16th.

We are hoping we'll hear something about our case soon... Ohh how nice would it be.

Hello to every April filers!

I was wondering if anyone could help me with my present situation:

Got my case ready last Monday, July 13th

tracked my package over DHL trick and they signed and received it in the U.S. Embassy last Wednesday morning.

Been a week since CEAC website shows that I am "READY" to schedule for further steps, but until now I still haven't get anything yet, either my fiancé.

The embassy website (http://argentina.use...-documents.html) has an example of packet 3 to download, and I already have it almost putted together, only missing the medicals exams which I'm doing tomorrow, and DHL registration (that I haven't finished yet, caused by I haven't any information of date that the embassy scheduled for me).

My question is: Can I send the package to the Embassy before receiving instructions from them, after my case status is "READY"? or Should I wait until get anything from them?

I have been e-mailed them three times (since around 15 days ago) and still haven't heard anything back but their automatic response.

If it is recommended to send the package 3 before getting anything from them, should I just leave the DHL registration as missing until I get a date scheduled by them, and take that to the interview when it is the date?

Thanks a lot!

yes you absolutely have to wait until you hear from them before you do anything. my case status changed to ready on July 6th and i just heard from the embassy yesterday (14 days).

have you already scheduled your interview? if not, it might be a good idea to hold off on the medical. not sure if you're aware but the visa actually expires 6 months from the date of your medical exam. that's why its not recommended to schedule the exam until you know your interview date because, for example: if you get an interview date 2 months from now but you do your medical exam tomorrow, then you will only have 4 months to use your visa instead of 6.

i would just hold off on packet 3. sometimes it takes a couple weeks to hear from them. i emailed the embassy in Brazil and from their response i recently learned (not sure if it's the same in every country) but when your case status changes to "ready" it actually means that the embassy received an electronic version of your package. they won't email you until they receive the physical version of your package, and route it to the correct department, open and review it etc. your "update date" on the ceac website will change though. mine was ready july 6th, updated july 16th (when they received the physical copy) and updated again july 20th when they emailed me.

good luck!
