we certainly DO NOT want that to happen! lol #TeamMyrie :)

If they keep throwing more and more petitions on top of my petition (which is probably all the way at the bottom of a box) then it will never get processed lol.

Hey David! just wanted to let you know I got my case number today! took about 18 days. i dont know when the case actually got there because the guy wouldnt let me get a word in and just transferred me to another department before i could ask lol i'd say it's safe to assume that it'll probably be at least next week before yours gets there. good luck! :)

Thanks so much for that information! Wow, 6/11? Ours is 6/22 so I guess I won't call for awhile. I live only 20 minutes from that VISA center..... Maybe I should just go there in person in a couple of weeks. Lol

I'm calling back now to see when my case was actually received by them so i can update my timeline :)

35 days yeah sure... haha!! Good stuff!!! Yes once you get the receive day you can pretty much calculate when they will be shipping it off to the embassy, 8 days according to VJ stats. Yes it'll be interesting to know when they received yours, i'll be checking out your timeline when you finally get that date.

Thank you Shelly Marie. Were you calling them everyday? We just received the hard copy of the NOA2. It spells out pretty nicely what happens next.

I have to tell you, and everyone who has received the NOA2, I really think the hardest part is over. Yes, of course, there is still the waiting, which really sucks, but it seems like from reading the NOA2 notice, as long as the beneficiary brings everything required to the interview, and doesn't screw up badly on the answers at the interview, then there should be nothing to worry about, as far as this thing becoming a reality. :)

I know there is that big checklist of things to do before the interview, and I definitely don't want to become complacent, but I think we're about 75% there......as well as all those who have received the NOA2 LETTER.

I agree.. The hardest part for us was just wondering if and when, felt like a black hole!! At least there is way more transparency on this side of the process and a lot to do to keep you busy until the interview.

i'm glad you finally got something, babybobeto14. An RFE is probably a blessing imo, at least it's confirmation that your case isn't lost in the black hole. I hope to hear soon.

Sent I129f - April 28, 2015

Received I129f - May 1, 2015

NOA1 - May 5, 2015 (Email on 6, Harcopy on 9)

NOA2 - July 9 (Email and text)

NOA2 Hardcopy - July 13

NVC Case # Assigned - July 30

Consulate Received - Aug. 3

Medical - Aug. 12 (We passed! Well, almost. She needs to see a psychiatrist on the 28th, which shouldn't be a big issue. She cut her wrist long ago in her teenage years.)

Interview - ??? (Originally Aug. 26, but since she is now required to see a psychiatrist on the 28th, it will be rescheduled, probably sometime in Sept.)

Yeah, at least they touched it. I'm happy and nervous at the same time. I don't have any idea what they want. I sent them soooooo much stuff.

At least it's Monday, those of you who are still waiting on news, keep faith, your time is coming.
