where is the call center? doesn't sound too bad for now...

"East: Most locations in the East should see light snow accumulations of 3 inches or less. However, a swath of New England from northwestern Connecticut to coastal Maine, as well as the Hudson Valley north of New York City, could see over 6 inches of snow through Wednesday night."

I’m not 100% sure where on the east coast so would depend where they’re located.. but I received something from USCIS about 30 mins ago saying there may be call delays due to inclement weather. Hopefully there isn’t any issues tho!

Ah gotcha.  They do use every excuse in the book.  I have a coworker like that

If you have not received your NOA2, you will call USCIS. You will start calling NVC 2 weeks after your petition has been approved.

I started calling 2 weeks after now its over 5 weeks and still not received by nvc

Tier 2 informed fiance today that our RFE went to approved on 12th... no update online.

BUT APPROVED BABY... OMG THANK GOD!

I'm so happy right now that I will soon be out from under USCIS crappy thumb.

That's awesome guys! The day after NOA2 we are no further along in reality, but that first approval feels like all the world!

 

Here's to taking your life back! 🥂

I missed doing the midday scan - lost track of time from my own excitement, so I apologise. I'll have an end of day scan for you all as usual though in approx 4-5 hours from now :-)

Seems like 50 days is about average for NVC to receive.  But the tend seems positive over the last month.⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

I never called USCIS once while waiting.... And I was approved pretty fast relative to others here. 

 

I'm gonna stick to my guns and wait 50 days before bugging them....I just am suspicious that they may keep a list of callers and delay them more if they feel like it

Have you guys seen the recent approvals? A 6 Nov NOA2 that was received at NVC on 29 Dec had an interview and was approved today. Can you really go from NVC received to interview and approval in 2.5weeks? 

 

I want that!!

InEngland, as soon as I get that NVC case number, I can have the medical pretty much next day, definitely within a week, and interview 5 days after that...

 

Hoping that a stroke of luck (and a persistent fiancé) can get the NVC number before the end of Jan, and then I can fly back with him at end of Feb... will probably be a little after, like, a week or two, but it's nice to have hope again

@MarksMate

I was told we had to wait about a month for the embassy to receive a "packet from NVC"  and we should schedule the interview a month out...is that bogus?

(Sorry Jan '18 filer temporarily crashing the thread)

 

Is it really that quick here? I was expecting two or three weeks just for a medical appointment because that's what it is for the NHS...

 

Also congratulations on your NOA2!

That depends on the embassy.

I'm assigned to Warsaw....everybody says they are pretty fast generally....the above mentioned case that was approved today went through Warsaw I believe

 

[watahana87 59]

Does anyone know if that is the case for the Tokyo Embassy?

As long as you receive their mail, scheduling the medical is easy (chose early hours) and for interview it's about luck but they have hours just for k1 so it's rather easy to schedule. And always check for reschedule. I believe 1 month the worst (depending on how fast you move too)

 

* and its japan receiving anything here is easy and quick
