Congratulations on everyone who got their approvals!

I really hope the rest gets your soon.

Even after the approval, it's still frustration with all the waiting...

We are at the stage where we are waiting for the embassy to send out packet 3, so we can finally get going on setting up the interview.

I will just be so happy to get past all this and on to the fun things like planning the wedding. :)

DAY 103 - SILENCE IS GOLDEN! Happy Monday to all. Here is hoping for some more April approvals this week.

I say "silence is golden" starting this week because after my rant on Friday to USCIS, on the way home from work my car blew a hose and I had to get towed home. 2AM before I finally walked in the door. Fixed it over the weekend and this morning on the way to work the belt broke. Talk about bad karma.

13 days to Beijing

Hello All again:-) First of all congrats who got their NOA2 recently and keep up the faith for those who are still waiting!

I have a question who got their NOA2 in June... Have you got a notification from NVC? We called them last week and they said we should call them back on the 27th... It sounds a bit long for me, cos we get our NOA2 on the 17th (hard copy on the 22nd)... There is no chance to follow it up online or somewhere, just by gving them a call, right?

Thanks!

I got my NOA2 on 6/11 and my case was received and case number assigned on the 6/27. they are "allowed" 35 days from the NOA2 date for processing...which would bring you to about 7/22. there's really no set amount of time. I've seen people get their case number in 2 weeks, some in 30 days. but i would just keep calling back every day because the "35 day" thing is just a generic thing they tell everyone. good luck! let us know when you get it

in response to your edit: yes, calling is the only way...unfortunately :(

yessssssssss waiting (waiting, and more waiting) for packet 3 so i can go online and schedule the interview! eeeeek!! lol

lol yep! keep calling, calling, calling! lol in my opinion it makes more sense to call at night because there's a chance they touched your application through out the day, but if you call in the morning, they probably haven't done anything with your application yet that day...or...call in the morning AND at night :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

DAY 104 - the waiting is the hardest part... Tom Petty.

Congratulations to all approvals. Good luck to the rest of us. USCIS-have some compassion, please. Whatever hair I have left is not going to be there soon from the stress. Living in NY is stressful enough. C'mon already!

12 days to Beijing
