Hi all !

 

I just called NVC and they let me know they received my case today but don't have a case number for it yet, since it was just received. They let me know it would take up to 2 weeks for a case number to be created due to all the cases they receive. After that the consulate will contact us with any further information. Do you know if they contact me or him? 

 

Do you guys really think this will take 2 weeks for a case number ? Once the consulate receives it do they contact us right away ? Or does it go through processing again ?

 

Any information from any Mexico filers I will greatly appreciate it. I would like to know just so I can let my employer know of any time I am thinking of taking off since I would like to be in Mexico with him once everything is ready to go. Also, what kind of paper work I should get ready. Should I file my 2017 taxes already ? I read someone having issues with the 2016 taxes.

I got my NOA2 on Feb 8 and in less than 20 days I had a NVC Case Number and Invoice Number. Then I had checked the CEAC and it said in Transit, a few days later it said Ready for Interview !!! I did the DS-160 and it printed out an Instruction sheet to pay the fee at the bank with a Code and Payment Number. It says to wait within 48 days for the payment to process and that will open the calendar for appointments. However it listed the first available as March 7, and we can’t take that because he hasn’t done the medical yet. We will call to schedule that tomorrow. It’s moving so fast now. 

 

Im so sorry for @Trinab80 I’m in the same situation except we 40/31 so im two years older and I understand because time is not on our side. I’m holding your hand and crying with you because I so know your pain with the process and with fertility concerns. ❤️

Our interview is scheduled March 21st. We could have scheduled sooner but because of work we scheduled our interview 5 weeks out. I have all the documents ready to go, just need to make copies of a few things and that's about it. I am the petitioner but I will be flying to Montreal on the 20th. I already gave originals to my fiance too just in case I can't make it. 

 

Now I'm just waiting for D-Day to arrive and the anxiety is killing me. I am really afraid of administrative processing and how long that can take. Does anyone know possible reasons why people can be stuck in AP or receive 221g? Do people know they are getting 221g at the time of the interview or is it a surprise when you get it in the mail/email?

 

Thanks!

So, how they send your passport with fiancé visa after you approved? Letter pack, kakitome or something? 

 

@Minori

 

It comes by "Letter Pack Plus" from the CGI Federal Visa Application Service Center which is A4 size envelope. Someone at your place need to receive at the address you registered on I-160.

Thanks for all of your kind message but after three hours of delay from Haneda, I arrived to SFO and waiting for my fiancé to come back home from his work now:)

 

FYI, at the airport immigration, you should go to "visitor" lane and submit passport, custom sheet and visa envelope which you should not open but immigration officer does.

 

For my case, I was asked whether I have children or not and also the date and place of wedding and passed quickly.

 

Our wedding is on March 8th at San Francisco's city hall. Small civil wedding but I hope it goes smoothly and so does your K-1 visa processes !
