Are we classed as a non-immigrant for the ds-160?

Technically, yes.  The DS-160 is for non-immigrants, and it's the one you should use.  However, you have to choose 'immigrant visa' when you're looking up your case number in the CEAC tracker.

Hey everyone!

 

First time poster here! I just wanted to post here to let you all know that we just got our NOA2 and our petition was was approved! We just got the mail (on January 19th, 2018) and it said it was approved on January 10th, 2018. Our NOA1 was on June 12th, 2017.

 

It's been a long road and we still have a long way to go but we're so glad to finally have something to hold on to. 

Anyone has an idea of what the next steps are? From what I understand we have to wait until we get a notice that our petition has been sent to the NVC or that we can call them. How much longer are we looking at before we get our interview?

To everyone still waiting for their approval, keep your heads up and don't let it drag you down. It'll happen any time now!!

Hey, first of all congrats on getting moved to a THIRD thread! I don't think even the May filers got that far.    I was just checking to see if a midday scan had been done over here. Our midday scan in the July thread showed no activity due to no online updating and I was wondering if that was a general thing or just for July.

NOA2 day 36 and our case finally left USCIS for NVC!  Does anyone know if it is sent electronically or paper mail? 

 

Wow third thread huh, Junies are a passionate bunch!

Every single day. Waited 1hr50min to speak to a level 2 at USCIS only to be told they would call back. They did call back an hour later and my fiance pretty much spilled his guts on the phone to the lady, explained our situation and the waiting and how much we want to be together and the delay getting interviews at the Auckland embassy. And how the form says 4 weeks but it's been longer. The lady said it was strange that our case had not been sent yet and that she would take care of it and then she sent it. I highly suggest everyone speaks to a tier 2 if it's been over 30 days of waiting.

I saw no noticeable action on the midday scan :-)

USCIS (fee based) and NVC (contract consultants) will keep working.

What about the embassies?

I don’t know if COs will work. I think the embassies go to only essential personnel.  That is the one rough spot.

Well i hope they keep working, Im guessing our interview may be last week of feb., ours was received by the nvc on the 17th. I was looking at the average once received at nvc and seems to be 5-6 days. Your were pretty spot on the last time we talked about when she would be coming home. We are praying for you and rose everyday my brother. Even whatching your case so we can celebrate with you on that magical day.

First time poster, long time lurker! Saving my first post to share our GREAT NEWS! 

 

NOA2 APPROVAL on January 11th!!! 

NOA1 July 5th 

 

I did not receive an email, text or anything in the mail as of yesterday. Then around 2pm PST yesterday 1/18/18 (18 is my LUCKY NUMBER!) our attorney emailed me that we were approved!!! I have never happy cried so hard!! 

Today I got the text that my status was changed in the system and it has indeed been updated there. But still nothing in the mail. 

 

Feels amazing to finally be at this point and to have the longest wait over with! Good luck to all of those still waiting!!!

I can’t imagine a shutdown lasting that long. You will be fine and maybe the COs will be nice and rested!  Keep faith. Everything will work out.
