Yesterday my case was listed as "Ready" on the ceac website. I downloaded the packet 3 letter for Montreal, completed the DS-160 and sent in the email. Today I got a reply stating they couldn't process my packet 3 email yet, as they had to send me the packet 3 letter first. They did also say I wouldn't have to resend the email, they would just process it once they were able to. But now I guess we just wait until they mail the letter. 

That's strange.  We just did this and had no trouble; they didn't ask us to wait for the Packet 3 letter.

Really? That's odd for sure.  We had no problem with the packet 3 email as well.  The packet 4 return email came back literally 12 hours later.

Could you screen print the email reply they sent you.  At either rate, sounds like you're still good to go.  It just may take a bit longer than 12 hours until you receive your packet 4 information.

So sorry to hear that. What was your RFE about? Is it something complicated or just a simple matter such as forgetting a tick box? We recently got an RFE notice and we're still waiting for it in the mail so I'm curious about yours and wondering why it's taking that long.

[SkruDe 311]

Hello,  I have a quick question maybe someone could answer as I'm sure a lot of you have already passed this step...

 

...but does anyone know if we will get some sort of notification of when the NVC receives the petition after NOA2?  Reason I ask is for VJ timeline purposes.  Next date data entry is "NVC Receive Date" but was unsure how I find that out?  Through calling them?  Or will I get a notification/mail/something?

 

When the time comes I want to update my timeline with the NVC receive date, just not sure how I get that date.

 

Thank you!!!!

NVC will send a letter to notify you about it. However, this won't have those dates on it. You will need to call NVC to find out when it arrives. The letter from NVC didn't arrive for me until just after the embassy received the petition.

Just want to share that today we were approved!!!! The waiting game is hard, I was going crazy during the 3 months between NOA1 and NOA2. After getting my NOA2 on Feb 03rd, the whole process went so fast that I can't believe that now is almost done. My interview took less than 5 minutes, when I thought the consul was about to start the interview he said "congratulations, your visa was approved". He asked questions that people always ask me about. 1. When did you meet your fiancé? 2. How did you meet him? 3. When did you start dating? 4. When did he propose? 5. If he had come to Brazil and had met my family? 6. If any of us have been married before or have any kids. The interview was in Portuguese. Hoping that soon all of November and December filers can have their cases done. Good luck to all!  

Oi Priscila, tbm estou nesse processo, e minha dúvida é o noivo pode tbm ir na entrevista, ou só se eles(imigração) pedirem pra ele ir? e outra dúvida tbm é ao respoder as perguntas eles querer respostas rápidas, ou respostas detalhadas?

aguardo um retorno ansiosamente.

 Obrigada.

Samires, I know how hard it is. It took us almost 3 months to get our NOA2. After NOA2 the process is extremely fast. We received our NOA2 on Feb 03rd, by the end of Feb our case was in transit to RJ Consulate. On March 07th I did the medical and March 14th I'd the interview. Today I received my passport back and schedule my flight for next week. Hopefully soon you'll get you NOA2.  

Hey Priscila How are you??

So the reason that I came here today it's to update my timelime and tell you that me and my ex fiance didn't work out. Unfortunately, he wanted me to take to TOEFL (Linguistic test of proficiency) he wanted me to get ready to get to go to school right after I get in US. I was supposed to get 78 in the test for the school that he wanted me to go to, but i only could get 68 on the test, yeah it sound weird and crazy, and actually it is, he totally based our love on a stupid test score, 2 years of a relationship and so many amazing and unforgettable moments he throw on the trash. I still can't believe that he did such a thing. I took that test on March 11th, and the score came out on the 21st, he got really disappointed with me, and on March 23rd the NOA 2 got APPROVED, but he said he wasn't moving forward with the petition until I get 78 on my TOEFL test, which has absolutely NOTHING to do with the visa. Well I think he does't love me then if he base our relationship on a test.

Now, our petition is there with the APPROVED status, but I don't know what to do, because only him as the petitioner can either go forward and or cancel it. He said he is not going to cancel neither, he want to be with me so if i really want go forward with this process I have to take the test again.

What a nightmare, after living 1 year and 4 months in a long distance relationship, he did that to me. I'm totally broke.

Good luck for you and everybody that got the lucky to have a guy that has true love not based on a score test.

Hi Priscila... no, we still didn't get our NOA2 yet, we got our NOA1 on December 28th which it means we might get our NOA2 by the end of this month or so (3 months), can't wait for it. I wish I could share my anxiety with someone that is the same situation as me ? lol

Anyways we will see it, hopefully I will have good news soon.

Good luck for us. ?

Oh wow I have no words. Thats just silly. I am so sorry to hear this. Hugs and lots of love coming your way. You deserve better it sounds like. You might have to tell him you are not taking the test again and if he doesn't love you enough to realize you do not need it then he should terminate the petition. I feel for you so much right now.
