Thanks for the positivity :D I haven't started requesting police certificates yet because when I read the consulate's review for Auckland, it states that instructions for police certificates will be available in the packet sent to me from the consulate...

I've also checked my previous police certs for residency in NZ and neither the VN one or the UK one states how long they'd be valid for. However, for the UK one, the address they used for me was my old apartment's address. I wonder if i should email the consulate or should wait until we've been approved, in case some certs are only valid for 6 months..

You can always check with the consulate on the validity before deciding on the change of address.

For my I-129F, K-1, AOS, EAD, AP and ROC detailed timelines, please refer to my timeline page :)

ROC filed on December 1, 2020, assigned to SRC, approved within 106 days on February 18, 2021.

My sincerest gratitude to all VJers, especially the late geowrian.

Got delayed for some reason, was "in transit" all day today since 3am, with no further updates. This wasn't part of the waiting I was expecting and planning for :rolleyes: I'm making myself crazy and I need to chilllllllll out, haha. :blush:

Hopefully you get your NOA1 really soon :D

 

If you mailed it to the PO box in Dallas, you might get the "business closed" message on the tracker sometimes but fret not, it will be delivered. And if it's not delivered in the next few days, call USPS to check with them.
