I do have a cosponsor but she is only willing to give me her tax returns for 2016 and 2015. Not sure if that is significant supporting documents. 

I would think that that would be sufficient.  My co-sponsor and I only submitted one year of tax returns each.

FINALLY! The embassy in Delhi responded to our email inquiry and sent the letter for packet 4. Just as I expected, it is EXACTLY what is listed on their website so I really don't understand why waiting is necessary if the case status says "Ready". Anyway, he submitted the DS 160 today and will pay the fee when he wakes up (Saturday morning). The earliest available appointment, as of today, is August 28th, so we're hoping for the best!

 

Praying for all of you still waiting for the NOA2!!

It appears I may have included my packet in an invisible binder. I could have sworn I used the regular binder.....eh

 

im over 150 days with NOA1 2/23. 

 

Serious question though:

Does anyone know how long it'll take for your fiance to get the visa once approved? I'm thinking about flying in for the interview (if we ever get there due to USCIS). I heard the odds of you being approved are higher if the petitioner shows up.

How many of us in Feb. filer are still waiting for NOA2? This is ridiculous!

My visa was approved. I wrote in my timeline about the experience. Many thanks to all of you for keeping this forum alive and therefore my sanity and anxiety on the right track.

Congrats to you! 

Hey guys...My visa was approved on 21st July, it's been two weeks already and no visa in hand yet. 

Ceac website says AP  I'm worried

Is the Consulate still waiting for something, e.g., medical?

No they received everything, I was approved and given a white sheet with approval and instructions

[Liudmyla 21]

We are waiting for NOA2 from February 3. We are very tired of waiting 

California Center

[Missabc 626]

Still waiting, 163 days so far. We called USCIS yesterday and they were no help the advisor he spoke to just said there is 'no time scale, it's just when they make a decision' so my fiance said so your telling me they can either approve us tomorrow or in 2 years? so the advisor started stumbling on their words and said no. At that point my fiance asked to speak to a supervisor, the supervisor advised us if we haven't heard anything in 2 weeks to call back as we would be over the 30 day mark of them receiving our RFE response. 

 

Irritated isn't the word.

Did you received an RFE? Or did you tried to call them?

Where do you get updated case info? The app shows nothing for me

[ArgJRP 18]

Case is approved and arrive in U.S on 8/16.  Lesson learned is pay very careful attention to the specific documents asked for and that you fully understand the process.  The embassy didn't send packet 3 until I emailed them directly and then I received incorrect information two times.  The K-1 is a non-immigrant visa but is treated as an immigrant visa in many ways thus confusing the staff.  Also found the American Services group much more responsive.  They may simply forward you to immigration section but at least you can get a response.
