i dont know why i thought with the NVC number you can move forward! am i wrong?

Partially correct for London/UK. My fiancé booked his medical yesterday, but we can't book his interview until CEAC (where you check your NVC case number) says "Ready." Our status still says "At NVC." 

I know it's a relatively short process for NVC, but it feels like it's taking forever.

Thank you!

Honestly, the "home stretch" feels like it takes the longest, because you KNOW it's almost over.

Ohhh, that's good to hear i won't be alone in the big Cali! 

My fiance used to live in Oakland, so I know little Italy quite well, but still. I can say (not to brag) I cook better than the restaurants I tried. Maybe I was just unlucky. 

No, I think it's very easy to run into these tourist trap places in the city, or places where people don't put any love into the food. I also prefer making my own, where I can add all the love and garlic that I want!  

You will LOVE all the Mexican food (and there's even variations between Northern and Southern Cali Mexican food).  We should do a NorCal VJ dinner once we get settled!  The activities will be 1) eating and 2) celebrating

[Mayi & MiMi 172]

Urghhhh. I’m debating with myself right now. I want to buy a ticket to Morocco now for next month but with all the activity with approvals and RFEs I don’t know what to do !  Should I or shouldn’t I. 

 

Im a 9/29 damsel in distress

It is pretty easy to find high quality fresh meats, fruits, vegetables, and spices in California, so if you enjoy cooking you will be pretty happy and have a very lucky fiance.

it's been 2 weeks and 1 day for us - and we are hoping every day! ayyyy! 

[peterad 28]

NOA1 date 14 September 

NOA2 date 19 March 

 

Only received our paper notification today the 27th of March although it was dated 19 March approved! Online still not updated! 

 

So excited, was getting worried as I saw so many approvals on and around our date. 

 

Those still waiting hang on there I bet yours in the mail, ours took over a week to get to us!

We should totally do it! It would be great! We should open a new thread with people from Cali so we can know each other a bit!
