Hey, thanks for sharing. I had my interview last Tuesday too. My schedule was 6:40am and I waited at section C too. Just curious about the email you got cause I did not receive any. Although my visa status on the ceac website says "Issued". Did the email tell you the same thing?

Is that the amount of time from her interview until the whole visa packet was delivered?

Day 253...wondering if part of the delay with the security checks may have to do with my fiancé’s travel history? He traveled to the Middle East in the past for work (and has the documentation). And if this is the case, we are wondering how long this could drag things out? I have read some scary stories on VJ about people waiting a year for this kind of stuff...but would it really make a difference if we abandoned the K1 and got married at this point? Either way, more waiting 🤔

Hey, July 24th here, we're also still waiting for our NOA2, but we only found out that our background check was done once we reached out to our congressperson. So I don't know if you have done it yet, but give it a try. Good luck for us!

Yes, we found out after I made an inquiry on 1/29 and received a letter on 2/13 saying the security checks were still pending. I reached out to my congresswoman 3 weeks ago and they were supposed to submit an inquiry, but no update yet about that  The last email I received from USCIS on Monday said that my inquiry was being sent to the adjudication unit. So no new news since then...hoping to hear something soon. Good luck to us both! 🍀

Had a big, brown envelope delivered to work today with lots of Americaland embassy stamps on it.

My heart sank, thinking something else had gone wrong. Y'know, force of habit. 

 

It was just a copy of the i-129f with a huge approved stamp on it and a website linking me to a US instructions page of what to do next. Does this count as "packet 3"?

Wow that was fast! Mine is stuck in "Issued" since Thursday. I chose to pick it up at 2GO Megamall. Did you choose MOA?

Did she opt to have it picked up at the 2GO branch at the Mall of Asia? It's usually fast if it's delivered there because it's very close to the embassy. The closer the pick up location is to the embassy, the faster it gets to you. My pick up location is farther so I guess I won't get mine 'til next week. I had my interview last Feb 27th.

She opted for SM Southmall in Las Pinas because she lives in Alabang.

Did you fill out the release form for your congress inquiry and did you need your beneficiary signature?

Incase anyone cares to know available dates at the Montreal consulate are April 4th, 11th, 18th, and 25th.

I filled out the release and signed it...etc. They did not ask for a signature from my fiancé
