Hi

Can you guide me through the process after the NOA2? How do you know your case has been received by NVC?

How long did you wait for your case number at NVC?

I know that after NVC you have to follow up with embassy to ask for package 3 I just want the estimate timeline for package 3 after NOA2 approval.

 

 

Here is my experience.

Noa2 April: 19th 2018

NVC Received: May 8 2018

NVC Left: May 16 2018

Johannesburg Consulate Received: May 17 2018

Packet 3 Received (Email) : May 30th 2018

Packet 3 Sent (Payments and DS160) : June 1st 2018

Packet 4 Received (Payment confirmation and appointment letter) : June 1st 2018

Interview: July 26th 2018

Oh okay so there was 11 days from NOA2, 8 days after NVC received and left, one day to reach JHB, and 13 days for packet 3. (everything adds up more or less a month depend on the interview date)

What do you mean by Packet 3 sent ? Do you have to send document back to the embassy?

Check my earlier post, I edited it... Plus no I don’t think you have to send apart from making payments and filling DS160

Your interview date is that the earliest interview you could get or was it because of the medical?

That is what i could get after sorting off my medicals. They only do this K1 interview on the last Thursdays of every month.

I wish I could know what available dates there is left. I just have to wait till my package 3 I guess. I am now really hasty to get this process over and done with.

Don’t worry, you should be fully done by August or September.

Remember there was an earlier date available in June....He couldnt get it because the medical doctor couldnt get him in before that date so he had to pick July....smh There is another couple in the SA forum here waiting for an interview date so I am waiting to see what they can get before I  make a decision to head back to Cape Town to visit my fiance

With the little that i have seen and known it is last Thursdays... The 28th of June that fell through for me is next week Thursday which is the last Thursday of this month. And the next available date i picked was July 26th which is also last Thursday of July. So I don’t think Tuesdays exists. I stand corrected though.
