Quick random question based on your signature, you had to wait 9 months to get your NOA2 from your NOA1?

Yes @Rocko20 we had to wait that long. No request for evidence or nothing. Whenever we called them we were always told to wait. I remember waiting for 45 days twice and the last 30 days we were told to wait that a supervisor has requested to review it and we got approved in 16 days of that 30 days wait... It was a crazy wait, my heart was ripping apart but glad it’s all past now... We were told it’s not the normal processing time though that it occurs once in a while for foreign beneficiaries applicants when they can’t pull enough informations about the foreign beneficiary background

No case number yet. My fiance will call on Friday. We are on day 9 after our approval. Will see on Friday if there is any news. I haven't received any emails yet from NVC. I am currently busy getting together our proof of relationship. The Lawyer also. We can only proceed once we get the case number. Will keep you posted.

yes unfortunately it's a long wait before everything is done. We waited 187 days for our NOA2. Some people are not so lucky. I know couples who waited 10 months for approval. But hey it's a journey and if you really love your fiance you will make it through.

Wow, good on you and your spouse for making it through that tough time. I’m at 225 days right now waiting for the NO2, already called to make a service inquiry as well as contacted my congressmen to submit another inquiry.

 

I can’t really complain after reading your story. Congrats again on getting through it!

Well, silence is a good sign too. Maybe you're right, she is overwhelmed by joy and busy to pack her bags. I believe it's a Yes!!!

My fiance will call today. It's still early there so he will call as soon as he wake up and get his day going at the office. We have a 6hours time difference. I hope to get news soon. We are on day 12 since our NOA2. Maybe next week. I really hope that we can get a interview date end JULY but lets play it by ear. There is still time.

Ours took 18 days for NVC to receive the noa2 approval from USCIS. And two days after they received it (May 8th) we got a case number on (May 10). And it left NVC for Johannesburg 6 days later (May 16). It got here and ready the next day (May 17)... Then because it’s winter lol those big guys here made me wait 2 weeks before they contacted me on May 30th lol. I will say end July is out of your equation. Work strongly towards August or September because these people dates gets picked so freaking fast, we were approved on April 19 and interview is July 26th... There’s still medicals that i have to do on July 9th and July 12th. It’s always 2 weeks prior to interview. Overall you will get your VISA 😊
