It seems like #5 is the electronic cases (or perhaps a newer electronic system?), whereas #7 is for mailed (and possibly an older electronic system). I've seen people say that Turkey has been electronic for years, so not really sure what's new about the #5 option. It seems to just be determined by your embassy's system, so I don't think one is better or worse. Your case will get there regardless. :)

So is there a strategic order to get stuff done quicker?

 

Can we arrange medical appointments ASAP if there's a long wait? Or do we need to have a case number and the packet 3 in hand before even SCHEDULING the medical appointment.

 

Same with the K1 visa interview at the embassy... can we just pay and schedule ASAP?

@enfinity83 we are in the same boat here. Received my case approval on 03/16, waiting for the hard copy of NOA2 and wondering about next steps in Seoul. If you google South Korea K1 visa packet 3 you will find a PDF that I am pretty sure is the latest version of packet three for Korea. Also join the South Korea country portal to ask questions more specific to Korea.

Received my hard copy NOA2 in the mail today and my actual approval date was March 9th but was only notified via e mail on the 13th. Always an added bonus to discover you are 4 days further ahead in the process than you thought!! 😛

we just received the USPS letter where it shows that the petition has been approved, but the letter hasn't arrived yet.

the stamp on the letter was 13th, so we are anxious to see when the actual approval date was! hoping earlier of course, so we

are hopefully halfway through nvc waiting game hihi

 

good luck to everyone on this step!

N-400: 12/05/2023 (confirmed fingerprints are re-used)

I guess we all have our own stresses.  I was hoping that your journey stress would be lessened but school stress isn't great either.

 

This is the CEAC site...

 

https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?eQs=WwjqOlbeRYzCYubaSQI+RA==

Sorry to bother you again. I tried to check on the website, but I think I'm doing something wrong. Which is the correct case number to put? The uscis one starting with WAC.... or is it something else?

Finally rang NVC and they received my case on Friday! Exactly two weeks after approval (NOA2 March 2nd, NVC received March 16th). Now waiting for my case number... things are moving people, despite the snow!
