i hate to say ladies - but... i am hoping an appointment wayyy before that

i'd love to join, but i'm just sitting around and literally waiting to fly out! 

 

if they give me the appointment, i'll be out 3-4 days later as i have everything ready and prepared and packed and sold and

literally need 1 hour to pack up my suitcase and 1 hour to drive to the airport lol 

 

let's hope! medical went well this morning - i had to get a shot though so my arm feels funny and sore hahaha

but they said they'll send the data to me by the end of this week so should be ready for the embassy appt!

let's hope they email me today! uahhh, i so hate waiting 

 

 

I totally get it!! We wouldn’t wait as long as we are but for the fact that with an August 1st wedding planned we need to leave some time for the AOS at the tail end! Hope you arm feels better soon and keep us posted.

oh we got our date already a looong time ago! initially march haaaaaa - and then changed to 10.20.18  

 

venue is booked and all, so... i just had a good deal on the invites (get great newsletters with discount deals) 

so i figured let's start this as it may take weeks... but only took them 3 days

actually - me personally, i find the courthouse a nightmare! 

so we'll pick up the licence and get a minister and decide spontaneously to elope in a park or at the beach  

whatever we feel like that day. looking into a few options or places now where we could do our wedding for 2!

 

and PS: the dress for the small wedding has been shipped on friday so should also get there these days wohooooooooo

Just called them too and told me the same thing. Will try to call again tomorrow.  I hope we will receive ours very soon! *fingers crossed*

The same for us too.  Notice date on the NOA2 is 3/28, but online it shows 3/29 and ours still hasn't been received.  We will all be received and have our case numbers before long.

 

After waiting so long for the NOA2, it's becomes frustratingly hard to wait, even if it's only a few days (but could potentially be quite a bit longer), when the timing gets slightly longer than the average.

Our application is currently 'In Transit' from the NVC to the London embassy (it has been for 6 days now).

 

Would it be unrealistic to begin planning a wedding for June 22nd based on where we are now in the process?

 

Any thoughts/advice would be appreciated

We are also UK beneficiary. You might be able to squeeze it in but I’m thinking you might want to wait till you book your interview before making firm plans- we were in transit for 2 weeks which surprised me. . We have a May 3rd interview and are planning a June 1st POE. That’s definitely giving us time to spare I know but we have an August 1st wedding date so don’t want to come in too early so we are rushed at the other end with AOS!

Thank you! That is very helpful. Best of luck with your process! Fingers crossed.

We passed the interview but we have to have an NBI AKA done before they release the visa. The midwife at Aira’s birth misspelled Rose’s name!!!  We have to run an NBI report for the misspelled name!!!  Damn. We did pass though. 

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! AWESOME NEWS!!!!

something funny did happen today....my fiance talked to a fellow Vjer at the embassy in Kiev while we where waiting for our interview.

I'm kinda confused.. Our status has been ready for many days now and I don't know what to do next. I filled out DS-160 and registered on ustraveldocs.com and filled everything out and paid the fee.. And now I'm stuck on this screen and don't know what to do. Do I just wait? It's been stuck on the same thing for quite a while now..
