Has anything been touched yet for Jan? I got my NOA1 on Jan 24th. should i even be thinking about the NOA2 right now? lol

The VJ estimate on your timeling shows the end of April. I can't say the estimates are perfect, but on my wife's I-129F and EAD, the NOA2 and EAD approval were in the VJ date range.

I think there's been a couple Jan filers touched (not counting expedites). But it's still probably too soon to expect to hear something in your case.

our case reached the Kenya Embassy and was updated to ready on the 28th Mar 2017 but up to now there are no appointment dates available and we cant even pay the visa fee because the scheduling website cant allow us to print a payment slip when there are no appointment dates available, its so frustrating and annoying.

 

congs to all those who are getting approved and those getting their visa. For those still waiting for NOA 2, keep the faith, it will come soon

Keep checking...that's not uncommon at many embassies. Try different times of the day/night... they usually open up blocks of time at once.

Hello guys :) Congratulations to all those who are approved and Good luck and speedy process to those waiting...

 

A question regarding relationship documentation for the interview. I was wondering how to show whatsapp chat logs.

I've read about people taking 100s of pages of printouts of the chats. How do I do that for whatsapp chat?

Shall I take screenshots and then printouts or just download the chat from whatsapp and then take a printout. (Download is like a notepad file, i wonder how authentic it looks)

Also I was planning to take the printout of just the important chats. would that suffice?

Dont think you need any of it. But if makes you feel better 2-3 pages will be more than enough.

We logged into whatsapp web(bigger screen so you can fit more of the conversation) and took screenshots from there with the dates showing of a conversation a month, over a year period. So in total 12 conversations. Just crop out your contacts on the left side using photoshop, paint or any image editing software you may have used before.

 

Then put those into a word document labelled with the dates and print. I think a conversation a month should be enough :)
