I don't know. I am still pretty doubtful about it. I call BS haha 

I'm just calling bs in a way that I've heard a similar thing before here, but I again if it happens I wouldn't say no obviously.I'm just not trusting any info that I don't see.

Yeah let's get more info on this.

 

Because I do remember not Rapid Visa though but an agency(or it was an attorney) before saying something like this about another month (that was faulty though)

 

* Also could you guys ask where they get their info from I'm really expecting a visajourney reply ahahah

Yeah for sure, I'll try calling them today and Ill ask to speak to a Supervisor. Not sure if the Holiday will affect if they are open or not, but I'll do it anyway.

I know right, just a statement from them. Some sort if anything. This is so ridiculous. I would rather hear the truth, then to be left in the dark.

Yep! I would actually be happy if I call them and they tell me,yes we are trying to catch up but it won't go down that easily , or say no we will go with these new timelines so expect it to be a 210 days wait... anythingggg at this point would work for me :D

That will be almost impossible with the way things are going.  I'm an early June filer and I dont expect POE until late May or early June.  11 months is a pretty good estimate for NOA1 to POE right now.  It is possible to do it a couple weeks sooner but not much more than that. We anticipate the interview will be in April at the earliest and I filed on June 6.

 

Today is our day 223 and it is a Federal holiday.  According to Tier II, our case hasn't even been assigned yet so this week seems like a long shot.  There are May filers pushing towards day 240.  Just relax and let things happen.  Don't get caught up in the process.

Oh, I agree! Waiting in the dark, without knowing exactly what’s happening is the worst thing ever 😔

The very first thing I was told here was to never plan anything until you have VOH.  There are too many areas where delays can happen.  There have been stories here of people that have lost thousands of dollars on wedding deposits and airline tickets.  

 

Rose and I have decided to do a small courthouse wedding with family and then have a big reception/party at a later date once we are settled.  That will work great for us and took away all the stress of wedding planning while we were waiting on USCIS/NVC.  

 

It is just a thought but adding wedding planning stress to this already stressful situation will not be fun.  We need to enjoy this journey because it is bringing us together.

We havent got anything booked, we decided on ceremony on the beach then party back at a hall which is cheap & ideal for how many people we will have, i just wanted a rough date so my family can book work off to fly over to Jake’s. No date is set but we was hoping August but oh well... will have to get that out of my head

That is tough there because the weather can start turning colder in September!  I hope you make your August wedding.  I will pray for that!
