So quite here ))

We got out packet 3 yesterday and booked the medical for this Friday.

Though we thought we have almost everything ready for medical and interview, our P3 came with surprises, there are 2 more docs we need to do get, a paper from my doctor about my general health state and a document that show's I'm single right now and am legally able to marry.

Also USPS is failing at maximum. The paperwork my fiance sent, went through like 5 states already and still didn't come close to Europe though by their timeline it was already supposed to be here :/

A work permit is called an EAD. You can apply for an EAD as soon as you enter BUT it will only be good until the 90 days from your arrival and since it takes 60-90 days to get the card it is pointless

Just gunna post my flow chart here so those of you waiting on NOA2 can kinda guesstimate your own timeframe. I129 sent April 27 Received April 29 (I received text and email) Hardcopy NOA1 arrived M

That dose not apply to k1 visas but to spousal visas your interview will be booked via your embassy not NVC.

The NVC sent my case to the Montreal Embassy on September 7, 2016. Judging by everyone else "similar" timelines, it takes on average 1-2 days for the embassy to receive the case. Still no updates, I emailed them yesterday and they still don't have it.

Starting to panic that it got lost in the mail or something, any ideas? Specifically Montreal people???

Anyone else in this group still having issues with the NVC not having their case?

It's been 6 weeks since my NOA2, but every time I call NVC they keep on telling me to "wait one more week for us to receive your case". Seems like most people's cases were received in only 1-2 weeks usually...

There is a thread here on VisaJourney you might want to read. It's called:

What causes delay between NOA2 and NVC case number?
