I am still waiting too! Nebraska is being a little weird. I've seen post from February filers who are still waiting. But this weekend someone who filed in March was approved. Very confusing.

Wow, 63 days. That is fast! Congrats. Seems the TSC is working miracles at times. Seems they've completely caught up with the backlog. The USCIS website shows normal 5 month processing times.

Wow!!!!! Mamabrown3,

We are so happy for you both. Last week Thursday when I spoke to my husband about this, he did not receive any confirmation and he suggested we wait for 30 days :cry: before he start calling them. I am running out of patience, my gear levels are not balancing anymore due to this waiting process :crying: .

I think he didn't get any confirmation; otherwise he would have send it to me as well. Man, yours was really quick. You are overtaking us now on this one mamabrown3 :thumbs: . I think I will have to convince my Prince to make a phone call to NVC tomorrow, this waiting is really such a pain in the butt :yes: .

Congratulations once again, I hope your documents to NVC are ready waiting to go. Start assembling now them now.

@other April filers, how are you guys holding up?

Hello there JOAE,

No request or any expedition involve in our case, it just seems like TSC is doing it fast than what I read here before we filed. My headache now is about NVC, I read here that its faster once it got there but ours was sent 23rd June and no confirmation yet if they receive our petitions or not.

Good luck to everyone in this process and may God help us to have some patience and positive hopes.

It will take a very long time for NVC to notify you via email that they recieve your package. You can simple call to confirm that they got it. At this stage you should be proactive. Don't wait for them or you will be at NVC for months.

Following the guides I went through NVC pretty quickly.

Today we celebrate Independence day. They are closed.

This is the guide that I follow http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

FYI in the guide it states that you need the passport pic to send to NVC but, it's not needed.

On the uscis.gov website does your case status show "sent to the department of state"?
