we are hitting 207 days today, are you going to start an inquiry?

Why call if all the indicators show that your case is still not due for complete adjudication. Use the tools smartly and stay off the phone.

 

1. It's advisable that once you receive your NOA2 that you contact NVC via https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html to update your email address as well as your beneficiary's email address.

 

2.  Use the tools here in VJ to answer "when I am going to get etc. etc." question. Near your picture, there is a link to your timeline. Select it and once you're on the next page near your picture you will see "follow similar timelines" and it will populate 12 other couples who are near your dates. Scroll down and you will see a "spreadsheet" style page showing all the variables for measurement for when others from your Embassy are getting the same notice of approval or action.  Try it. It really works!

 

3. And if you want to follow those from other countries that have similar timelines as yours there are several tools available to you. Go up to Immigration Timelines on the blue ribbon above and select it. Once you are on the next page looked to your left and you will see a box that states, "find similar timelines" and select it. A list will populate with those who are processing close to your timeline. When they start to change you will soon be behind them.

 

I followed those that were in my group to give me an idea where they were in processing so I could judge if I was ahead or behind.  It's pretty accurate, maybe within a day or so.

 

If you choose to follow those twelve members then you will get an email every time their status updates.

I hope you guys will all get your approvals this week!!!! 

 

Is there a group for the next steps after Noa2 for the Stockholm embassy/Sweden?

 

I am a German living in Sweden, so a Germany group would also be ok..

 

Good luck for this week to everyone who has not received their noa2 yet!!!

Go up to the blue ribbon on the top of the page and select "forums" and then scroll down about 3/4 of the page and look for your region and then select it. You'll get answers to your questions. Also, I have added the P3 instructions for the interview and the medical process; use these links for Sweden.

Give both links. First one is Embassy and second is medical instructions.

 I didn't mean we will start calling tomorrow, I know we are still within the regular processing time ;-) just that I will not wait up to 300 days before we start getting active about our case. And the similar timelines, yeah they are helpful, but as well people who filled after us already got approved, so not really showing me a direction. but thank you though, I really appreciate your help.

I'm sorry if you interpreted my post as saying that you would be calling tomorrow, as my intent was to help you stay off the phones until the optimum best use of your time could be used productively. There is two cross section to evaluate, your country (1) and the other countries (2) combined. Yes, all cases are different and you will see those that filed after you getting approved before you and you (maybe not because you will not be looking for those cases) will see those who filed before you still sitting and waiting. Your mileage may vary. Good luck.

If it says 1of1 most the time it's a approval.

Excellent!! Thx for the link

Im assuming it will tell you who the sender is when you have mail being delivered or do you have to input the USCIS address

It is an actual picture of the front of the letter (I assume they're all scanned in at some point). Like this

Ok, thank you very much for sharing that.

I was a little unclear how that worked but now understand 

congratulations!!

[pb5446 56]

Just to confirm, @BJ & Christine was correct, the one pager was an approval letter

 

NOA1- 3/26 (old), 3/29 (new)

NOA2- 10/4 (Received hard copy in mail on 10/9)

 

No updates on new or old website. No emails or text messages. 

 

Good luck to everyone still waiting.
