I'm probably being paranoid a little, but NVC still has not received my case yet. approval 7/19. anyone with a similar situation?

I don't think you need to worry yet since they say it can take 2-4 weeks. I just got my case today and my approval was 7/24, but that doesn't mean anything...they probably process them in some strange order the same way USCIS does. Give it another week or so before you get worried!!

Here we go................another week, praying for everybody's NOA2 and ours.

Chamomile tea is supposed to be the best for calming ones nerves. I think a hot shower is good too, but whatever makes you happy.

Good luck, we also have NOA1 of 3/16 and got what we hope is our NOA2 today (pending postman) but I am confident it is an approval.

approval.

Just got off the phone with NVC and they gave me the case number!! Exactly two weeks after my NOA1 issued date (7/24) so just FYI for those of you who recently received your NOA2. I would wait at least 2 weeks before calling to get your case number because it's unlikely they will have it before then. The rep I spoke with said they don't handle K1 visa's, but do perform some administrative steps on them and then forward it over to the embassy. She also gave me an invoice ID and said I would need it later so I took that down as well. 

CONGRATS!!! This is fantastic news!!!!  One step closer!!! You got this.

Thanks for posting!

 

Our NOA2 was the same date as yours and according to the case #, it arrived on the 2nd. Please keep us updated. Ours is in AP, so it is likely to take longer than yours. Still, I hope to use the day they forward yours as a reference.

APPROVED!!!!!! 
Received date: 3/28
NOA1 date: 4/03
NOA2 date: 8/03

 

This proves the 4 months right on the dot!!

Also, today I received an email back from my senator!
 

"Dear Ms. Wenner: 

 

Thank you for your inquiry on behalf of your constituent, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, regarding the I129F filed with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). In receipt of your inquiry, a thorough review was completed on your constituent’s case. USCIS records show the following:

 

-          The California Service Center approved the referenced case on August 04, 2017.  The case will be forwarded to the National Visa Center (NVC) for processing within the next 2-3 weeks."


Not sure what it means that it was approved August 4th from the senator, but the notice on the I-797 form says 8/03. Either way it's kinda one of those situations that makes you wonder if the senator DID help. An inquiry was sent out on August 3rd from my senator. Either way, I am super happy!!! 

To everyone else, I'm positive you're going to get approvals soon! I promise it is all worth it when you get it. I know I wasn't the best being patient, but as many others who have got their NOA2s would probably agree with me, it was all worth it!  

YAY, NOW TO CELEBRATE!!!!!  

HOPE TO SEE MANY MORE APPROVALS!!! 

Ohhhhh!!! Super happy for you!! Bring out the beer! Let's celebrate!

Wow, there are some funny people here (e.g., AnJ Co), but that made me laugh quite a few times! 

 

Well, I hope it was meant to be funny...

 

Still, I cannot always tell. I taught a MBA course in Business Communication and admit that the noise, context, and other variables often prevent me from understanding others' intended meaning in these forums and even the occasional email. Maybe that is why I was never asked to teach it again.

I agree. @AnJ Co is one of the people who makes me laugh here, i think he is like a homie for everyone here. I think it's only polite that if someone has some concerns, misconceptions or violent reactions towards someone, he or she can just send it through personal message and deal it privately.

Trust me, my spirit and intent is to look at this fiasco from the humorous side.  It goes down a little better with a laugh

I honestly try not to offend anyone (with the exception of the administration ofUSCIS) and I hope others can see some humor through my text and it helps a bit in their trials too.

We all know too well how text is a dangerous tool, as it lacks other non verbal clues as to its' intent.  How many times have we ourselves communicated with our F on text and actually Mis communicated?

So - when reading my posts, you will probably wonder at times, but truly - if I throw a jab, I'll own it and stand up and admit it. 

I'm just here to help deal with this period like so many others - and no matter what I do, I always seem to have fun.

@Yzabelle: Your fiance should go to DHL and ask. Scott just expressmailed (36 hours) me his documents, and it was 49$ to Germany!

@amishbaby: I told you!!!!  And see - it was approved before (at least a moment of glory for the senator to be a bringer of good news haha)! Yay!!! CELEBRATE!!

@troika: WOOOOOOHOOOOO! You made it! The looooong wait is over! I'm so happy for you!!


Wish me luck for tomorrow, fellow Whiners! 
This girl will now take an early shower, stuff food in her face and go to sleep. Departure here: 3am!

Good luck! I am sure you will nail it. I'll be interested to hear what questions they ask.

Thank you! 

I'll report afterwards, once I'm able to communicate again!

Hopefully I won't embarrasse myself again like at the medical, where I couldn't remember my own adress because I was nervous.

I guess everyone around me will be happy once I'm through this, because I'm driving everyone nuts with my paranoia!
Just made my mom search 22 year old documents to clarify something I thought I forgot lol 

RAHHHHH WHINERS!!! I'm dying!
