Thank you! NOA2 = 20th Nov 

and when did you get your NVC number? last week? we are 12/4 NOA2, still no NVC number

[Schnoozle 13]

So it’s been a week from my interview where I was told I was approved.   They said I should have my passport in a week.  And the CEAC tracker says it’s in “Administrative Processing”. How much longer 😬

We called the USCIS & were told our petition had been mailed on the 6th week. Once our case reached the nvc they told us to call the following week as they had not yet added it onto the system with a new case number.. So we decided to call on Tuesday (this week) and got the nvc number.

 

Has your case left uscis?

Interview went well yesterday! Me and kids we have been approved!

I contacted the Ombudsman and the next week it was approved!!  

 

God is so gracious in carrying us through!

and I have my visas already issued and sent. Tomorrow I will get them

 

I have a question, why we have to apply for SSN before marriage? I know it was discussed but I can't remember

[JosephRose 82]

hello everyone! Congratulations to all who are now in their loved ones and to those making progress. Anyway, is there anyone here who have done the medical in st. Lukes? did you really have the hardcopy of eligibility letter (letter containing beneficiary's full name and manila case number) during the medical exam? Is that doc mandatory?.. I don't have that letter yet but I have my mcn and invoice number. I wanted to set date for medical already and interview but didn't because of this concern.

Congrats to the latest approval.

 

Hi April filers

I just wanted to ask if there was anyone left waiting for noa2 here?

We bothered USCIS (tier 2) a couple of times as the 6 week mark had passed. A service request was made over the phone and the NVC had our case the following week. 

Hope that helps

Really? We've done the same and even asked for the case to be forwarded to NVC again as well as a expedite request... Still nothing. We are given until Jan 29 to wait.

In layman's terms, after you get married the immigration status changes into sort of a "no-mans" status.  The immigrant is no longer a fiancé(e) nor a fully legal resident at that point.     During this weird transition up to getting EAD or AOS, Social Security (according to policy) really can't help you.  But most definitely get a SS number before marriage, it makes things so much easier.

Dear Estibaliz,

Is there any chance you could post your list of documents that you sent for AOS/EAD?AP???

If that is too much to ask, I just would like to know if you sent 3 original birth certificates with certified translations from Spain

( for AOS/EAD/AP)  or you sent copies??

I am struggling with this part of the process...agggrh
