I129F April 2017 filers -Part 2

[AZSunshine78 437]

Ds160 submitted today.

 

UK beneficiary 

 

Ive read a few times that you can book medical and interview once you have NVC number and DO  OThave to wait until it says in transit or ready.

 

Has anyone done this with the London Embassy?

 

What happens if you’re a few days from your interview and nvc still says in transit.

 

Where will the embassy put your medical results as well if nvc still has your paperwork?

 

thanks all🙂

Could you please help me, how do we contact congressman?where did you find contacts?Our case has been approved 12/4 and still no update.

I would try going to your Senator's website to find the contact number for their state offices (not d.c.). Give them a call and ask if there is a person who helps with passport and visa issues or something along those lines.  There should be a case worker in their offices who does this. Explain your situation, and if they don't offer to call for you initially, just ask if they can look further into it.  They have a different contact at USCIS than we do and get information faster and it seems more accurate ...or so was my experience. Hope that's helpful! Good luck.

Hey all,

 

Wondering if any of you (who are mostly experienced in this process) can give me a hand with what to do next? I'll list how I see the process, if someone can confirm that I'm correct/incorrect and add anything I've missed, that would be superb.

 

• We received our NOA2 on 15-Dec-17. I am now calling the NVC to see if they have our case for my case number which I need to book my Medical and Interview (should I be calling them daily? what is the soonest I can book these for as I'm eager to get things done ASAP for a move ASAP. I believe after getting the case number I need, I will be able to book these for a month's time?)
• My American fiance needs to fill out Affidavit of Support (unsure if this is I-134 or I-864) 
• My American fiance needs to write an intent to marry letter
• I need to gather evidence for interview - flight bookings, pictures
• I need to complete form DS-160
• Complete the online Notification of Applicant's Readiness Form
• For the UK Police ACRO Check I need:
  • Proof of address
  • History of address
  • Passport photograph
  • Passport copy
  • Endorser details
  • UK National Insurance and Driving Licence numbers
• For the medical check I need:
  • Full name and DOB
  • Case number
  • Medical history
  • Police check
  • Interview date
• For the interview, I need:
  • Passport
  • Birth certificate
  • Police Certificate
  • Medical Check
  • Passport photograph
• After the interview, if approved, I must wait for them to post my passport back to me. Then, I can fly out from any time

 

Please let me know if I'm missing anything, or if there is anything I can do to speed this all up! I just want this all done ASAP, as we've been waiting an awfully long time already...

I called them today and they said we're not on the system yet, and that they're approving cases from 6 weeks ago. But, I'm allowed to call daily, and I will call daily

Am I understanding you right?NVC is approving cases that were approved by USCIS 6 weeks ago,right? so im near there:) And what number do u call them, i start thinking that the number i call is wrong, since I never can reach anybody

[Chris2870 721]

Delays delays delays. NOA2 Nov 21 and still no NVC#. Tried my congressman and that POS is too busy to reply too me I guess. This country's govn SUCKS!! So frustrating.

Had to do an NVC research inquiry on where our approved packet is..blah blah blah. USCIS takes forever to approve them and then sits on them I guess.

April filer here!

My interview was on the 21st Dec 2017 i was approved they didn’t return my passport and he told me i would get a call in 10 days.

In transit to the Embassy. Once you have the NVC # it's usually in transit to the embassy plus you can track your case using the NVC# at https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/  . My initial letter was where I had to fill out a disclosure form and it had space to explain my issue and the agency. I also provided my USCIS number on the formulation. This form gives your representative the right to inquire on your behalf. I don't think they help in the locating of it to much, as the offices were giviving them the same informationas me. But I would like to think it did put pressure on the offices to resolve the issue. So the only letter I mail was the diclosure/inquiry form after that the office called and emailed me.

I would email and send a letter with your information to:

7325 W. 79th St.

Overland Park, KS 66204

ATTN: URGENT- Congressman Yoder District Office

But definitely call the office to ask for help with USCIS, they may have their own way of receiving an inquiry.

Phone: (913) 621-0832 Call their office.
Fax: (913) 621-1533

 

ChinaSandeep my file reached NVC on Friday. I found that after I called them. I still have not got email or anything from them. But, they gave me a case number. But when I try to track the case it says case not found. I called them and they said the file is in administrative processing. How many days did you have to wait before they send it to Embassy. Did you get any email from NVC once the file reach there? If yes after how many days?

The A Number can be found on the NOA2.  It is in the Beneficiary box just above the name.  This number is used more later in the process.

 

Not sure of your second question.

Hi April filers! I'm a June filers and have a question and just want your perspectives. My fiancée has her interview scheduled early February, and after the initial excitement (we somehow jumped a few hoops) we both are starting to worry we won't get accepted. We don't have a real concrete reason for the anxiety considering our circumstances (similar ages, lots of time in person, shared languages etc) but I guess it's just simple anxiety. So my question to you is is this a normal feeling, an initial excitement later replaced with worry and fear? I hope so because I don't like this feeling. I would appreciate your inputs!!
