Hi! Im from MNL! Would you kmow if it would be okay to have medical a konth before the interview?

That's completely ok as we are supposed to do the medical at least 2 weeks before the interview. Doing it one month before is even better, I think.

dbmathis here.    Today was root canal day for me. I had a run in with a crappy dentist three weeks ago, who sent me to the ER after drilling into my sinus and pouring bleach into it. Today

Our visa is still at "At NVC" status. Should I have my fiance mail me the copy of our packet and other supporting documents? 

You can, but you won't really need it until the day of your interview. Would be awesome If he can send it to you now, though. You'll have lots of time to review the documents in preparation for the interview. :)

Our case status is "ready", we have sent the DS-160 and now just waiting for the embassy to contact us so we can schedule our interview :) 

Ours says "At NVC". How long did it take for your status to switch from "At NVC" to "In transit" and to "Ready"?

Why is it when you call the nvc, for me they always ask me if it's a certain visa (I don't remember which visa they say but then I tell them it's a k1)

 

also I swear they have no customer service as I  just got off the phone with someone who was very sarcastic and rude.

 

26 days and waiting for case to be at the nvc

 

I think some are friendlier than others! If you're having trouble on the NVC immigrant visa line, there's also a non-immigrant visa line (603 334 0888) and they can check on fiance visa status also. 

Our NOA2 date was April 27th & we're still waiting on the NVC to receive ours too :( so we're over 30 days. I feel your pain! Keep us updated!

During my NVC stage I called them 3 times.  All 3 times I got a very helpful person.  Reading so many bad NVC reviews has been quite astounding to me.  I must of been very lucky.  They were always very pleasant with me.

I have been calling them for 7 days straight. Since 14 days/2weeks. They are not being bad, but they keep saying my stuff hasn't arrived and that it can take up to 6 weeks and that they will reach out to me when a case number has been assigned. How long did it take you after getting your case number to actually get anything from them other than the phone call?

I would like to know how many January filers are still waiting for NOA2? I meant not those who received RFE, I know they seems move forward to March filers now,I'm February filer and still waiting for NOA2,my fiancé tried to persuade me to be patient and understand their workload,but sometimes it's really hard to be calm and seeing other filers whose received date are later than ours but they've received the letter,I just hope my fiancé also understand my feeling not just persuade me to understand their workload.

So it has been 17 days since they've received our RFE response. It is normal to take that long? Or was 2 weeks the maximum wait time?

We tried calling USCIS, but after repeating the automatic menu for 5 times they just hung up! No one picked the phone. What should we do? :( Any new numbers or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
