Congrats but what app are you using to receive an updates,?I'm using iphone too,some says apps are available only on andriod. Thank you

I am using Case Tracker for iphone, make sure that in settings you go to notifications then turn on everything for Case Tracker - there are a few choices there - I had everything on. But the issue is that USCIS does not update the main tracker for everybody so it's a lottery anyway. Make sure that you sign up for an account with them - have no idea if it influences anything but we had one...( on their main webiste where the tracker is)

Hey friends,

 

My case arrived at the NVC on Thursday- and then I got my case number on Friday. I'm checking the case, and it says it is still "At NVC"

 

Is it possible there's a technical glitch and they actually did send our case, but the website isn't showing that?

 

Or is this the normal amount of time to wait for the case to say "Ready"...

 

Thanks 

it is normal, do not worry 

... i can tell about our - it took one week from getting a nvc #  to "Ready" status , from 5th to 11th September,

(from 8th September to 11th - has been  "In Transit" ) on 15th September my fiance got email from the embassy,

it may take 1- 2 days of difference for beneficiary's country, i guess

As our Russian friend Tatiana said, pretty normal. Our case was created a Thursday too, and the status changed to "In Transit" at some point of Tuesday evening (I was sleeping ).

Sometimes it takes a week, and still normal. So start planning for the next steps while waiting, everything will be fine

Just an update:

 

Completed medical at Knightsbridge. Whole process took like 40 minutes, only about 20 of which is spent with doctors while 20 is spent waiting between doctors. For those interested, it wasn't as invasive as I expected: X-ray, blood test, Ear, Throat and Abdomen  check along with a urine sample and blood pressure check.

Estibaliz, hi ! you have an interview in one day, wish you goodluck and nice trip at all ! 

[KeriAn 414]

So,  slight bummer.

 I have to stall on my interview a bit.

Trent has to switch apartments and itll be too costly to buy out of his lease which is ending all the way in March 2018. So since the visa only lasts for 6 months, and it's embassy scheduled I have to leave a lil wiggle room so I wont be traveling like the day before it expires

So last night, I get this email.  It says my file has been reviewed.  My question is the noticeable missing from this list is the I.134, and Continuing Relationship Evidence.   Is this list standard? Or is my heavily front loaded I.129f paying off?

Any Ph filers see any difference in this email compared to yours?  I also noticed the font is different in the list part than the rest of the e-mail font, like a blank was typed on with what they needed.......
