So, I called NVC today and we got our number. I was super happy things are moving so fast now. Then I checked the site in put in my number a box showed up saying follow the steps to six questions.  I'm freaking out...is something wrong? Have anyone else have this box pop up saying to follow the steps. The first is asking for an agent and says it takes up to 3 weeks for a response and before can proceed to step two...ugh confused

Lol yes I was one of those ppl pushing ppl here to write their senators and other ppl senators to get their attention and put fire under the butts of these slow adjudicators.  I think it gets your case noticed and that's all we want in the end.  I have bad days as well and I try to stay positive, but I agree with you.  It isn't complaining when your heart is in it...this is your life and you're fighting for it!! And thank you again!! Pray ours are in the mail soon and they just forgot to send out the notifications. 

Too bad, nothing happened yet, although you've contacted your senator a while ago!

Sending some positivity for a speedy approval! Good luck!

Yay, you got the number!

Don't worry about the canned message regarding the six steps, that doesn't apply to K1 visas. So relax and follow whatever country specific instructions your Embassy lists as needed.

Good luck! :)

So bad news on the letters from USCIS. They both said the same thing and that my inquiry showed my case was being worked on and I should hear back within 45 days. 

Wow, no words to say.....

Like Groundhog Day

Everyday is the same as yesterday, 'in 45 days we'll tell you in 45 days.......' 

Hang in there tougher than them, obviously persistence is what it is going to take to knock down that wall.  I'm so sorry........
