am I the only one looking at old thread from 2016 - early 2017 wondering what happened to that 2-3month processing time to get the noa2? . Lucky me I get to spend time with my fiance every 2-3 month while we waiting for the approval. I don't know how some of you handle  with no visit for the whole process  You are the real MVP.

I'm also wondering what happened to the 2-3 month processing.  Its not like this is some free government program.  We all paid good money for the Visa processing fee so we should get good service.  Doing thorough background checks on everyone is a good thing but it doesn't take 6 to nine months to do it.  This is a completely ridiculous for all of us to have to go through just to be able to be with the person we love.

Day 185 now and still counting

Thanks for your kind words, it already is a hard enough process to go through without any information, so I'm happy to help on that aspect.

 

I wouldn't say no to that! Let me know if you happen to go to Scranton area some day

Hi everybody,

I just wanted to post because I see a few people are getting frustrated as was I until I received our approval. I was actually approved last Friday the 6th but did not receive an email until Tuesday morning at 5:30 am. Old account and app still not updated. I was positive I would be waiting longer then most because of my criminal history when I was younger. I had to track down records from Tucson, Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, etc... as well as a previous marriage and divorce. I was not exactly a pillar of the community when I was young. I actually expecting a NOID instead of approval.

My NOA1 was Oct.3rd, NOA2 April 6th. Well within normal processsing time. If you are getting frustrated, just relax and be patient. Your approval is coming. Good luck to all of you, and thank you for your scans and insight.

BY the way please Dani. i have a question.

 my fiancee and i were disucussing about buying our family house before the end of this process but my question is about this situation;

now we have enough money to proove she's over the pooverty guideline (talking about the affidavit of support)

but i'm thinking since the process will be taking around 2 month just after the NOA2, if we made an offer for a house, in about 30 or 45 days the bank will take out a big amount of money out of they account for the first downpayment (of course after the first downpayement we'll still a bit more money over the guideline)

 

do they embassy or consulate use to check in with the bank or whatever to confirm the bank information at the interview ? because if so the previous bank letter will be showing a nother amount and if we buy the house before the end the of the process, i'm sure that by the time of the interview the same amount will not be there. so is that can cause any problem regarding the financial aspect?

i wish i'm  clear enought in my question

thx in advance for any one with a sugestion

If I'm not mistaken, they look at income not debts. So they are wanting to see that your sponsor has a sufficient income to support you. Assuming they can show a monthly income well over the poverty line via employment letters, W2s, tax returns, I'm not sure you even need to show a letter from the bank unless you are using that amount as assets to cover a gap that the income is under the poverty line. Also, if you buy a house, that would count as an asset with the down payment you put down as cash equity that could support you guys if the need arises. I'm not a resident expert though, so we'll see what others say <3 I wouldn't worry too much about it if it were me though.

[Daniel P 2,022]

I don't think there will be any problem as long as your fiancée makes enough money (above the poverty guideline). If you fulfill that requirement, the money you fiancée has in the bank isn't that important (although it never hurts to have some, specially if she is too close to that limit). I really don't think the embassy will check such information, they'll have a better chance to look at your financial situation when you adjust status

very useful. thx very much once again.

[Daniel P 2,022]

I wanted to share with you guys that...

 

 

 

 We got approved!! 

 

 

 

I feel very fortunate that I was one of the early approvals, but also sad because most of you are still waiting. For what I've been seeing over the last months the situation has improved significantly if we compare it with the pre-Christmas time, so I'm pretty confident that most of you won't have to wait much longer to get that desired approval. Just hold on. As for me, I'll be here running the dialy scans as usual 

 

• Received date: 10/16
• NOA2 date: 4/12 (updated on new website at 3:30 am Cali time)

I think affidavit of support is after you get married in the state not initial state.

I have seen many who went through the process.
