I will ask my fiance to register online. Thank you so much

Hey

Apologies. I'm the Beneficiary. Not the petitioner. I typed that way too fast. Lol. The website will probably only tell you about the approval of the NOA2. After that, it's all up to the Beneficiary to hassle the Embassy once they've received your package. But the petitioner has to call NVC after 2 to 3 weeks to find out when they receive your case and when they send it to the fiances embassy in his or her country.

Oh ok lol... I am the beneficiary too. Is yours on the way to your embassy? I hope ours get to NVC fast and delivered to US Embassy Manila

Yes. My embassy in South Africa has received my case. It reads 'ready'. I'm having issues with a delayed birth certificate that I do not have yet. I'm trying to enquire if the Embassy can help me around the issue and have Me issue it to them once I have received it.

I hope you get it soon in time for your interview. Good luck and i hope and pray we'll be with our loved ones soon. God bless

Yay our visa is through the NVC and on its way to the U.S. Embassy in Australia! It was actually sent to Australia two days before I called! That's 25 days after NOA2 notice.

Here's a quick timeline recap:

Sent I-129F: 5/13/2015

NOA1: 5/18. Received in mail on 5/26/2015.

NOA2: 6/26/2015. Received in mail 7/6.

That's 39 Days from 5/18-6/26

Called today 7/23 and was told our visa was sent to embassy two days ago. So roughly 25 to get into NVC and sent to embassy.

The lady told me I could not track the case since it was out of their hands and on way to Australia. Is that correct? What can I do to track it? I have invoice and case #'s.

I used CEAC to try to track but it says "Your search did not return any data." Is that because it's already left?

Appreciate any help. Thanks!

NVC told me the same thing when I called them last night. I was also having the same issue of the site showing 'Your search did not return any data'. They said that they'd actually sent it to the embassy the day before. I check the NVC site again today, and low and behold it now shows 'Ready'. So with that said, yours should most likely reflect 'Ready' later today or tomorrow. Best of luck!

Any May filers get interview scheduled yet?

Did your embassy have an estimate as to when you can interview? Hope you don't wait long.

How frustrating how we can get held up at any point of this process.

We managed to get an interview scheduled for August 19th. When viewing the Manila Embassy available appointment schedule they have been showing a consistent 7-day minimum waiting period. Not too shabby!

Hi thanks for getting back to me! Sorry if I'm processing this slowly but to be clear....you can track it once it leaves NVC and it tells you when it arrives at the consulate? Or, does it just update to "ready" when they're done with it and that's how it stays?

Also can someone link me to instructions about tracking your visa with DHL please? Thanks!

Hey just curious, how soon after your case was sent to the embassy did you/were you able to schedule an interview?

Regarding the NVC site statuses, you're supposed to be able to track the NVC process status end-to-end in 3 different status changes as it arrives, gets processed, then departs for the embassy. I guess it's not uncommon though, given the volume of cases that flow through there and the efficiency that those statuses, and even case information, can be delayed. To answer your question, 'Ready' is the last and final step that NVC will reflect on their website.

Once that is complete, then you can assume that the Embassy has either received it or it's in flight and you can go ahead and finish up the remaining steps (if Philippines then 1. Pay Visa fee, 2.Schedule interview, 3. Fill-out and submit DS-160 online if K-1, 4. Schedule medical, in that order).

I am just resarching all the steps after noa2. My questions is do you have to submit any papers/documents to NVC or you just have to take everything to the interview?

Hello,

You do not submit anything to NVC. You don't do anything at this step. You can call them to get your case number so you can track the progress if you like.

[intrigueace 14]

Womp...so I was feeling impatient and called NVC today. I'm just at the 2 week mark so they said my number isn't showing up yet. Said I gotta wait 35 days. I'm gonna try again next Friday...or every day like a stalker...

On the website to schedule interviews it says no appointments currently available we have emailed the embassy and called them. They have not replied to our emails and on the phone she said we just need to wait for a email from them.

I'm just trying to be patient

Hi all,

For the CEAC tracking k1 do choose "nonimmigrant" visa? is that correct? if so, then for location what do you choose..the embassy destination location? If that is incorrect that what is the location i am supposed to be entering?..Because my visa left the NVC 3 or so days ago and no matter what I do the CEAC is stll not yielding any results.

Received the text and email that our petition was approved on June 30. Still waiting for the hard copy NOA2. NVC is telling me to wait 35 days after the notice date. I don't have a hard copy notice yet so the days keep ticking by. USCUIS won't talk to me about it until it has been 30 days so I have to wait another week before they will even look for it. Very frustrating to know it is approved and just sitting there.
