You’re welcome! Glad I was able to help. And just hang in there I think you’ll be approved in a week or so. I am also waiting on my approval at TSC, hope it’s soon. Best of luck to me and you as well. 

You should update your VJ timelines too. Make sure you enter the right dates so you get an idea of when your case should be expected to be approved.

You are using the old site that site is not reliable when checking case statuses as it’s not updated regularly. You need to uses this site https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/ login with your email and password and when you do make sure you go to settings options and turn on mobile and text and email notifications so that uscis can inform you when they have taken action on your case.

So we receives our NOA2 on July 27th. How long before NVCwill contact us to request further documents?

 

My wife went to Thai police station yesterday to request police report, and was told it will take a month. Just wondering if we can expect the police report prior to NVC contacting us.

My wife's Visa was approved today in Guangzhou!!  Interview was only about 5 minutes.  Questions asked were:  where we met, who is bringing her to USA.  Asked to see wedding photos.  

 

Now we wait 5-7 days for passport to be returned with Visa.  And then we fly to USA.

Thank you!  I went to interview - but had to wait outside building.  Security did not allow me to enter with her.  And she could not take her cell phone.

Okay, I bet she was very nervous. And are you a USC? It’s very rear for them not letting the spouse petitioner go into the interview with spouse. And once again congrats to your wife on getting her visas. I hope I get approved soon, its already been 6 months.
