My Fiance send those documents (letter of intent and I-134 form) through DHL. It only take 3 working days to arrive for 51$

I scanned all my documents, put them on a shared folder on Dropbox and my fiancee printed everything out. May be a cheaper and more reliable solution rather than taking the chance the packet won't arrive >_<

They don't have to be original documents for everything.

Cheers and good luck all

Our NOA2 approval (I-797) is dated 07 July 2016. As of today (04 August) we are still waiting for NVC to receive our packet. Same story every time I call, "...could take up to six weeks for USCIS to send). We are closing in on the one month mark. Is anybody in the same boat? Could use a bit of encouragement here. I always thought this was the quickest part of the process. If you have any insight worth sharing, please do so.

Ugh!! You told me that the last time I asked. It just confusing that some people here are telling you that you need original documents such as the I-134 form. And also the embassy should take a note to that wether they required the original one or the copy one. But anyway, is done already.

Just finished my medical last August 3-4. It was a long day but worth it. Felt relieve after all those waiting. Next on to the interview!

Good info. I heard this before but wasnt sure which shipper had the bad rep. Definitely going with DHL.

Thanks all for the very informative responses. I will send it via DHL in Sacramento.

I used DHL with no issues. Sent packet Monday SoCal time. Fiancé received it Thursday SoCal time. It was actually addressed to her home, but Kuya delivery boy called her before delivery and he was close to her work and he dropped it directly to her at her office.

My understanding is The affidavit of support requires a wet signature.

Congrats!! :D

Thank you so much!! <3 :D

Side note: How many pay stubs are you guys sending in? I recently got a raise at work and my last 2 pay stubs reflect that. I was going to send 2 months worth but the pay stubs from the month prior don't show my salary increase. I'm not sure if this will cause some confusion or not? My employer signed a letter of my salary and I'm well above the 125% poverty level even without my raise...but I don't want it to cause confusion.

Same boat here, noa2 June 8th still not at NVC it's been over 8 weeks now. They kept giving me the 6 week spiel and then after 6 weeks asked me to email NVC research with scanned copy of noa2. I did but all I got back was that they don't have it and will work with USCIS to find the location of the petition. I have no idea what's going on. I was on the same boat with 2 other VJers who were approved a week before me but they finally were received last week. I'm still waiting and getting kinda nervous and frustrated. I hope you get there soon I'm sure you will any day now I heard July approvals have been getting there at a better pace. Just thought I'd let you know your not alone.

Great!! I will absolutely do the same! My fiancé has had a work visa before and is super confident that we will get something earlier because he has used the same system in the past so I hope he is right!

Haha I was just thinking that it would be great if there was a way that the system could notify you if something earlier came up, but I think if we are all checking and can let each other know, that is almost as good :)

I can't really have a ealier date as I'm struggling to get time off with work for my medical.

But coz I'm at work all the time I can constantly check tht website for new dates for ya.

We put a deposit down for our wedding today :) i figured rejection would be the worst news over losing our deposit if they say no at my interview.

Veeeery good question!!

Anthony is in the same situation (recent raise, way over the 125%...) so I'll ask him what he thinks of doing about this and I'll let you know :)

So frustrating that London interviews are from 20th September onwards. If I keep going in and hitting 'reschedule' it might come up with an earlier date right?
