Just called the NVC center....  got the case number.  When I went online to check status, it asked for invoice number.  Do i need to call back and ask for this?

I got the right case tracker,  thanks to @trilobyte 's post...  thanks again!

There are several of us still waiting.  A few from January and several from February.  February 10th for me and a few on here earlier than me.  Hang in there and know you are not alone.

As if things couldn't get more stressful, my fiance just called me saying he has had to call in sick to work today as he's been sick all morning. His employers are AWFUL to say the least and have given him grief for having just this day off, bare in mind he hasn't had a sick day since he started working at this company (July 2016). He's only had a holiday to fly to the UK in February which they are now holding against him, oh and not to mention they are moaning about him having 4 days of in October for our wedding and haven't even approved it yet. He's really stressed out now because he thinks they are going to fire him for having a day off. I'm absolutely panicking now being so close to our approval, all my mind is thinking now is 'I'm never going to be with him' 

Does anybody have any advise for if the worst does happen... he gets fired?

Let's just "laugh at that lie"... the best medicine is laughter and joy... if he gets fired oh well that means there is another door to be opened and something better for him. Chances are he won't get fired for having a sick day... he needs to get a doctors note and that's for sure proof and they can't argue with it

I panic because if he does lose his job then it's going to reflect bad on us that he's only been in a new job for 2 months, we don't have a co-sponsor either as he earns way more than whats required.

 I wouldn't worry about it at all... it's easier said than done though when we are actually in the situation... if he gets a doctors note though, they can't argue that. At least that's how it is here in the states. Sounds like he works at a pretty dreadful place

Hello everyone-

little more progress on my end... I got my case number this morning from the NVC and changed my girlfriends address in their system as she had moved right after we submitted the petition in Feb. Anyways... we are in admin processing at NVC and it will be electronically sent to Rio de Janeiro Brazil after that. Do we need to wait till we get something in the mail or email before we do whatever the next steps are. I'm a little cloudy on everything going forward... I think the d160 is next and all of that but not sure? I've looked at the embassy website in Rio but they make it sound like you can't do anything until it arrives at the embassy which I don't have a problem waiting to do that but just wanting some clarity. Thanks y'all. We will be together in December... I'll be in Brazil for 3 weeks. Can't wait.

Hello,

 

On June 27th we received an email stating that our I-129f was transferred to the embassy in Rio. It also said it was "expedited":

Quote

 

The U.S. Embassy in RIO DE JANEIRO, BRZL approved your request for expedited processing of your immigrant visa application. The National Visa Center sent your petition to this U.S. Embassy for their action. The Embassy will contact you soon to schedule a visa interview.

 

But since then we haven't received an email to schedule the interview. Assuming they took 4th of July off, it's now been 8 business days. Does it seem appropriate to email the embassy at this point?

Case number received from NVC today.  I tracked it and it's listed as "At NVC".  One step closer...

I don't think it would hurt if you send them an email..... I am not sure what the process is in Rio but for me, when my case showed "Ready" in CEAC I emailed the embassy and asked them to send me the k1 packet with the instructions and forms and they did.

Hey guys, little update going on here. So we finally received the email from the embassy in Rio to schedule the interview, we had already started to fill out DS-160 and saved it , yesterday we submitted our ds-160 , paid the fees for the interview and started booking our flights for the interview. 

Fiance is doing her medical exams today and the doctor appointment next week. 

 

They really wasnt kidding when they said things got pretty fast after NOA2! 

 

To those still waiting on noa2 , dont loose faith , cuz soon it will come and things move pretty fast after that!  Im rooting for ya'll

Congrats! How long was the wait between the NVC notifying you that the embassy had received your petition and the email you received to create the appointment? Also, do you remember what was the nearest date available for an appointment?

Thanks! It took i think 4 days after my case said "Ready" on CEAC page , i believe it arrives to the consulate last thursday and we received the email on monday.  

 

There were dates available from the 18 onwards , but only every Tuesday is when they conduct the K interview , we scheduled for the 25 at 7:40 am , pretty early.
