This is exactly what I have been thinking...If we had filed only a month earlier or even WEEKS earlier, most of us would probably be with our partners by now...

Ditto. Knowing that really sucks.. it almost hurts...

It's Been 8 weeks now since NOA2.. 

rang NVC again , still there under AP, can't give time frame to be sent to embassy !

finally broke down in tears asking the operator to please give me a supervisor.

she just said there is no time frame I'm sorry I can't help you .

this is just a horrible experience, so upsetting and frustrating.

That's horrible...Honestly, what the hell is going on with this process? This can't be normal, can it? Australia isn't a high-fraud country so why would AP be taking so long?

Same here! i completely understand your frustration. When I filed May 4th I thought I would be with my bae by November ( Dec tops) and I think its out of the picture for me too unfortunately. It has been more than a week ( 8 days) since I sent my response and my status hasn't changed online to response received yet. Based on your dates, hopefully my status changes in the next few days. Your post was helpful. Thanks! Hang in there! I am with you! 

How many days has it been since you sent it in? I am waiting to and I think there is a delay because of the holidays. My package doesn't have a tracker thanks to my lawyer

 

If the status doesn't change by  Dec.1, I am going to express mail it asap and with the tracker this time. lol. 

I will hang in there another week too. Fingers crossed magic happens this week. 

 

Thank you!!! 

 

 

My fiance is Canadian and I live in Chicago, IL ( 8 hour drive/1 hour flight  commute) and we have been together for 3 years now seeing each other every 6 weeks or so. In all this time, the distance has never stressed me out as much as it has ever since I filed this application. Being apart seems just unbearable now and I am counting days. My best friends are either single or happily dating. The single ones don't get the anxiety because they are happy I have at least found my special someone as opposed to not having anyone. I'm either crazy or over-analyzing according to them. I had no idea about this site but after finding it, I feel like I am not so crazy. 

 

Thank you guys. I can't wait to get this whole process behind me. Good luck to all of you waiting still Keeping you all in my prayers. 

 

Aww I wish you nothing but the best! You do know you can still see eachother right?

All I've been told is they don't deny the visas, all AP is with them is getting all the files in order so the transition to embassy is smooth? 

I just don't understand how it can take so long? 

We had no RFE either, so it's all very confusing .

Ive been in the same job for 18 years, no criminal history , just a normal every day Aussie !

Our anxiety is through the roof, 10 of my family members have booked and paid to fly over in march for our wedding which is pretty much all paid for .. 

I'm starting to panic now.

From the UK website here:

uk.usembassy.gov/visas/fiancee-2/required-documents/

 

I tried uploading a screenshot of the specific section, but it won't work for some reason. Basically says a background check is:

"Required for all countries where you have lived for 12 or more months since the age of 16, and any country where you have been arrested even if you weren't a resident there."

Thank you 😊 now I'm starting to believe japan will be similar... need to check it then!!

I can understand your anxiety, I'm feeling something very similar as well. I'm sorry I don't have much insight to offer, but I hope you get through it soon and everything else will be quick!

Thank you for your kind words , hoping things work out for you too ! 🙏😃 let's try and keep positive 😅

I just called USCIS to ask whether or not my petition has been sent to NVC, and the tier 1 officer told me that they cannot access that info, and when I requested a tier 2 officer, he said the soonest I'd be called back is in 3-5 business days... how is that even possible. 

 

Did anyone receive a case number today? I haven't seen any updates from today.

No 26th again! 😤. Where is that person??!!!  26th is just being avoided like a plague.

Keep an eye on your mailbox!
I was the 22nd and for the longest time, thought they skipped me. I got a hard copy NOA2 and my status online still says "Case received!"
So you can have those rebel folks that just don't update. Good luck
