07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

No one can say for sure when yours will be excepted. The norm is 4-24 hours. Keep checking. Calling the Embassy at this early date is only tying of the phone lines for others who have more pressing issues. Just saying. :)

Hi, thanks for the info. The provided info in the bank payment posting in the website is misleading because it didnt say 4-24 hours. It stated 4 hours without any qualification. Well, i respect your opinion.. But my friend who is also a k1 applicant and who paid the same time and same bpi branch with me but didnt call wasnt able to schedule yesterday. I was able to schedule yesterday because I kept on calling. Just stating a fact :)

Great. I'm glad that you were able to accomplish what you needed. Hope the rest of your journey is uneventful so not to cause undue stress. :-)
