Yeap, you can do that for sure I hate that the USCIS tracker isn't working and we can't find out the status before calling NVC.

My tracker seems to be  online but my status  is   same  as  always..    is yours  offline?

They are probably still reviewing your case file. Have your fiance(e) signed up for USPS Informed Delivery?

 

signed him up yesterday so will have to wait till it  shows  something

😁 I've stopped looking at case tracker now 😂 one more question if you don't mind did you fill out ds-160 before NVC got your case,I hope I haven't made a mistake in completing and printing off mine too soon 😣😣

It's ok to fill out and print the DS-160 before NVC gets your file. Just make sure you keep the confirmation slip because you'll need it. It won't affect anything because one still needs to schedule an interview for anything to happen.

The tracker stopped updating for awhile now. It's still showing as "case was received" for those who have already gotten their NOA2s.

If he's got letters, he'll get a scan via email. My fiance's just came through

Yessssss. I know someone who completed the DS-160 way before NVC got their file so that she could schedule what interview immediately when he's heard from her embassy 

 

Just make sure all the details are correct!!

We sure hope so because I want to be able to use the NVC tracker and find out when the file gets to my embassy

I just got my "informed delivery" notice from the postal service which shows that I'm receiving a letter from USPS today!!!  I'm super excited ... It should be our NOA2! Or maybe an RFE!?  

 

3/15 NOA1 date.  I'm enrolled for email and SMS alerts but received none.  USCIS Website still just shows "received".  When I called USCIS customer service yesterday (to try to find out if they were aware of the apparent website/email issues) they told me that their call center is a subcontractor and they don't have access to anything more than what we can see on the website.

Congratulations in advance! :)) when is your received date?

Someone with a NOA1 date 03/06 got the NOA2 in the mail today

She just posted on February.

At the suggestion of @Estibaliz I am posting this here as well since my dates span Feb and March:

 

It's been quite a long time since an email made me cry...

 

Before I left for work this morning I was having a conversation in my head saying "As long as I receive NOA2 by the end of the month, I will be happy and my fiancé will still be able to arrive when we were planning". 

 

I arrived to work this morning and noticed I had received an email on my phone.  I opened it up and saw that it was the USPS Informed Delivery email.  After weeks of having this service on, I was just expecting to see another day of images of bills and junk mail.  As the email loaded, I saw the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration logo start to load and all of my breath disappeared from me.  I now knew that I was going to get the letter in the mail today but had no idea what the news would be (approval, RFE, etc.).  My first thought was "How in the hell am I going to make it through work today"?

 

Then, the email finished loading and I noticed something else.  Either due to how the letter was folded, or how it had moved around during transit/scanning, I could make out some of the lines below my address..."The above petition has been approved.  We have sent the original visa petition to the Department of Sta".

 

My breath still hadn't returned but the tears of joy started to flow and I couldn't stop them.  Of course right at that moment a coworker stopped by and asked if I was okay and I said "Yes, I've just received some really great news, these are tears of joy, don't worry".

 

I'm still kind of in shock that we've been approved, it doesn't seem quite real after all of the waiting.  Suddenly, BAM, today it's here.

 

Thank you everyone for your kindness and support during this process.  Even though I don't always respond, or am slow to respond sometimes, this thread has been my life boat during the wait.  I know we still have a ways to go in the process, and the interview still ahead for my fiancé, but for the first time in a long time I feel relief and hope.

 

For anyone that is curious, package received date in Texas was 02/28/17 with a 03/06/17 email & text NOA1 date and a 03/10/17 hard copy date.  Based on the NOA2 envelope being stamped as 06/12/17, that puts me at 104 days since it was first received and 98 days since the first NOA1 notice until NOA2.

 

I am looking forward to continuing this journey with everyone here.  You are the first to know, my fiancé doesn't even know yet and I plan to surprise him tonight when I get home from work and we have our usual Skype chat.

 

Hugs and love to all.

Receive date 3/10 ... I guess I should add a signature now that it feels like there's something worth adding
