Evening/Morning to all,
I need to vent a sec then get some sound advice and/or suggestions. 
I feel I am a very patient person and so is my fiancé. We both are Christians and I have faith that things will work in our favor. BUT, it's been over 190+ days since I filed our I-129F K1 petition. I wasn't worried now we both are getting concerned. I even tried using the tracking app but it just made me more concerned because most of the I129F for May 22, 2017 are completed and there are tons of I130 for the same date. I don't know if was reading it wrong but what I did was try to analyze by the last 4 numbers of our receipt and look for May 22 and May 24th dates.
I did review all but was just trying to get and idea of where USCIS is at as far as the cases.
I front loaded and sent the Affidavit of Support. I called the end if last month and spoke to a rep but they just read the same thing I saw online at that time they were still in April. The rep said next month which would've been November.
I tried doing an inquiry a few days ago online and then on Dec 1st. They system did not process the inquiry and I got a message saying our application is within the current processing time.
I'm traveling abroad this week so I'd like to have some good news to share with my fiancé. 
Is anyone else having a similar issue? I'm I missing something? Any idea?

Hi I called NVC at 6pm on Friday and no news. They still don't receive my case. Should I contact them in other way or do something? I'm starting to be worried. People around 20 something of October, are you in the same situation?

I think there are many.. Shoegum started a list for this, probably in his signature (or in the past few pages) it has dates too.

I linked my NoA2 Action plan, I know the process differs a bit depending on which country you're from, but maybe it'll be of some help  I think I might also try to post an updated version including the website for DS-160, the phone number for NVC etc.

That's awesome, did you see the nvc plan in my signature?

That was from an Apirl filer who posted here by some other members (okay I'm losing this ) however, shoegum made a page for it.

Is it ok if when you update we do something like that? (like an example and we can put your country so they can know it is an example)

 

@Shoegum or @LizM 

 

do you think you guys  can make a simple page like you did for Laboz's after noa 2 nvc notes?

Actually I've seen two people here who had approval dates of 10/22 and 10/24 get their case numbers. Hopefully we are soon!

Actually one of them had their NoA2 got actually sent to NRC instead of NVC by mistake and the petition had to be reapproved (new NOA2) and hence was expedited to NVC. Only one other was the anomaly.

I am thinking the same. Should reach NVC by next week.

Hi there, are there any UK filers here who are at the point of trying to make an appointment for your medical and embassy interview? I'm trying to find out how long I am likely to have to wait for an appointment when I start trying in the (not too distant, I hope) future ! 

Thank you

Well I had hoped my fiancee would be here in January but from how its looking she won't be here until at least February. I'm sick of disappointing her. First I said thanksgiving, then Christmas, then January (both our birthdays are in this month) now I've told her February. I hope USCIS doesn't make me a liar. I proposed to her on Valentine's Day so if she could get up here by then that would be great but I highly doubt it based on the delay with USCIS and NVC. I've been telling her I'm not going to visit because I'm saving money for when she's approved but f-that. I just brought a ticket to go down to Jamaica next month. I'm going to set my mind on 1 year because that's what it's looking like right now 😔 

I feel you. That's exactly our situation as well. We never expected a delay until February.

Today is Day 187 for me. I am beyond frustrated, but I am traveling this weekend to vacation with my fiance. I'll be out of the country for 3.5 weeks. Despite the frustration, I'm so happy to be able to see my fiance, since I haven't seen him since May. This will likely be the last time I'll see him until he is in the States. I've decided to enjoy my trip and time with him. In the likely event that I don't hear from USCIS by this Friday, which would make it Day 192, I'll file an inquiry. So, by the time I get back, I hope to have a response to our case. Unfortunately, if I'm approved or get an RFE, I won't be able to respond until I get back. Either way, am so happy to be spending the holidays with the love of my life. I'm also optimistic, that he'll be here in time for our wedding ceremony. Originally we planned for August 2018 but, with USCIS moving less than a snail's pace, we opted to move it back to November 2018 to ensure everything will be processed and he would be in the States. 

 

I'll let you guys know if a miracle happens and I get a USCIS response before I leave. If not, just know that I'm enjoying with my fiance. I and he has forbid me from stressing out about this, while I'm on my trip lol!!!! For any May filer still waiting for NOA2, I pray our wait will be over soon.

We're also UK filers, just waiting on the NVC at this point, sounds like we're in the same boat?

I have been a little hesitate to share updates about our process, as I feel bad that so many people are still waiting. But I hope my timeline will encourage those of you still waiting , particularly for the NVC to receive your case. As at least in our case this was when the process started moving faster. 

Our Visa was approved at the US embassy in Stockholm Wednesday November 29th. 

Noa 1: May 3rd 

RFE: Sep 29th 

Noa 2: Oct 19th
Medical part 1 Nov: 6th (Majorstua)
Medical part 2: Nov 7th (KAL)

NVC received: Nov 13th 

NVC case number: Nov 13th 
NVC left: Nov 16th 

I actually called the NVC November 16th at 11pm Norwegian time. They told me there was no update on when my case would be mailed, and that it still had not been processed. When I checked the CEAC online update at 8.05am Norwegian time November 17th I found that my case had been received at the US Embassy in Stockholm. I later received an e-mail update from the NVC that my application has been mailed from the NVC on Nov 16th. This mean that the NVC representative that I spoke to on the phone on the 16th either lied to me or did not have access to relevant information. Either way I would not put full trust in what NVC officers tell you. 

Consulate received: Nov 17th 
Packet 3: Nov 17th (at the Stockholm embassy this is send through e-mail) 

At the Stockholm embassy you must wait until you receive packet 3 to scheduled your interview. I first scheduled my interview for Dec 7th as this was the earliest appointment available. 4 days later I was able to get a interview appointment for November 29th, so I reschedule my appointment.

I had been waiting to see my fiancé too since I hadn’t seen him since February, but last month I said “f that”  too and went to see him over Thanksgiving. It was just what we needed to help us to continue to endure. Little did I know, I would get our NOA2 the day before I left!
