Called them today...nothing new. Tried to get transferred to tier 2 and was told they stopped all transfer calls. They put in my request for a call back, but told it could be 30 DAYS until I get a call back! God help me, we can’t win with them. 

 

They did did say they’ll be updating processing times in 3 days. Who knew there was a rhyme or reason to that part of it?!?

Thats good to know. I applied myself as well. I heard that if you are doing it through a lawyer you get the approval faster. 

There is zero evidence that using any sort of service, or lawyer will get you through one single day faster, period.  There is no mechanism for any lawyer to do anything other then check your forms to make sure everything is in order, otherwise you might be held up for a RFE (request for evidence).

 

Trump's actions have only affected visitor's visa, H1B visas and visas originating from predominantly Muslim countries.  Why things are longer is simply unknown.

Where do i go for questions about NVC?

[Balamban 113]

Someone just gave me this page http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1historical

 

which is useful for estimating timelines.  NVC questions: I'd try the K-1 visa forum. 

[Balamban 113]

I'm sure some, perhaps most know about this but I just discovered it a few minutes ago and it's useful for me

 

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k57PdywNRpUqytomJxMzz6_7DsMqpi52DgnaYt9FyC8/edit#gid=606080062

 

It's a spreadsheet showing NOA2 to NVC times.

You should hunt down @Naes and check out her signature. It's got all sorts of good stuff.

Going through a lawyer, Rapid Visa, etc will not get you approved any faster. However, they can and should be able to foresee any issues, and prevent you from getting an RFE, by making sure your paperwork is correct and all required documents are in order.

True this!! We are at 201 days with a lawyer and all they say is its the new policy dah dah dah... The best thing to do is wait.. But one though, no headaches for the papers...but I still want that approval soonest. #july10filer

however this is all all you need for NVC stage (you can also go up one topic from here to January noa2 NVC topics.

 

 

the wait is at least 30 days at the moment so good luck.

I'm too Old for my Days (Day 104)!😏

Oh dear I know the feeling. I already knew some people obviously! But I'm pretty close to start keeping track on who asked what.

Same here. Everyone asks me everyday “hear any news yet?” Or “do you have a date yet?” Or “when’s he coming?” And I reply nicely but inside I’m screaming “WHEN I KNOW, YOU WILL KNOW!!” It doesn’t make me feel any better telling them I don’t know when I’ll get to see my fiancé again.. 

Haha I’m so happy for this forum that Gets what I’m going through !!

everyday people ask for a wedding date so they can start buying plane tickets , and I’m like .. I’m not event there yet stop asking !!! I wish I had one !! I wish I was already planning it!!

There was a name change on the 20th and a name change for today. So far that's about it in July. I will scan again around 9-10 p.m. uscis time and if anything shows I'll post.
