I've bought a pair of tap dancing shoes 😂🕺 I'm obsessively now checking and rechecking my papers making sure I've missed nothing lol 

Haha, guess who was multiply checking what she put in the envelope for pack 3.
We here only need the confirmation page and the passport for the interview. We've got to mail everything once pack 3 arrived. So... RRRAHHHHHHHHHH :D

Called the NVC today because I had a gut feeling. Waited like 30 minutes on line 7 to be told I need to call line 5 (that was new to me). No wait for line 5 though. My case was received today, no case number yet. Hopefully it'll be assigned when I call Monday! (7/18 NOA2 date for those wondering)

Yep we spoke with our lawyer about this already. Nothing we can do. Apparently if that embassy were to close, he'd have to go to the next closest embassy. Let's just all send good vibes that it doesn't happen!!

Ok praying and sending good vibes all that I can. :)

Good luck for you to have it on Monday!
When they received ours it took 4 days to generate the number! :)
If they don't just ask you for the WAC on the phone, but starting to ask for date of birth, then you got jackpot! :)


And yes, it's line 5 :)

The worst they tell me is "we don't have a case number for you yet" lol. And I had heard somewhere it was line 7, so that's just what I went with. I listened to what 5 was, and to be completely honest, I still have no idea what those words mean.

Mine was 7/19.. I was called the non-immigrant line. they did not have I wonder the number makes any difference.

I called the immigrant line, since the K1 falls under the immigrant visa for embassy stuff as well.

Call both every day

(credit to @TriloByte I plagiarized this from his post but I'm sure he won't mind :) )

 

There are two numbers. Immigrant and non-immigrant. 

 

Phone (for immigrant visa inquiries only):  
(603) 334-0700. Customer Service Representatives can speak with you Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight EST, excluding holidays.

Phone (for nonimmigrant visa inquiries only):  
(603) 334-0888. Customer Service Representatives can speak with you Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight EST, excluding holidays.

 

Wait 14 days and then start calling both every day until they say received. Then call every day until they have a case number. Then check the online case checker for in-transit, then check more until it says ready. Once ready, you can finish everything up.

In no particular order. I also can't count:

 

Your fiancee asks you to stop discussing VJ, NOA2s, and possibly the marriage because of the stress.

You have your first serious "plan B" discussion if you can't get married.

You update your estimate of the arrival date of your fiancee if the NOA2 came today... every day.

The USCIS app won't let you scan cases anymore that day, so you go to your PC and enter case numbers manually on the USCIS website. For every case of your NOA1 date. Several times per day.

You click on VJ's "show reply" messages like a crack-addicted monkey.

You click on USPS informed delivery emails like a crack-addicted monkey, too.

Your friends hear about the "informed delivery" service the post office offers for the first time ever from you.

You don't trust informed delivery and check your mailbox every single day, even when it involves driving to it.

You send links to your fiancee of any reported NOA2 that could be remotely interpreted to be near yours, be it the same country or nearby NOA1 date.

Your fiancee emails back "I hate them" if the NOA1 date is more than two weeks after yours.

You have daydreams about sneaking into CSC to rescue your case file from an warehouse straight out of Indiana Jones.

 

This is the funniest ever. Thank you for your humor.... was thinking I was the only one going crazy! :D
