Hope our time comes soon. But I think don’t expect the NOA2 any sooner than 7 months, because I see some people with NOA1 in March or even Feb still haven’t got anything yet.

Good luck to all of you here!!! 

There is really no telling when we will be approved or looked at. USCIS has no set standard, it all boils down to luck it seems. All we can do is hope we are one of the lucky ones if not we'll have to wait and wait some more.

Been trying to distract myself with prep, not much left to do, house clearing started and trying to focus on my driving lessons but if NOA2 doesn't arrive before my test on Nov 2 I may have to delay it cos I cant focus.

but everyones is different. I have seen many with 6-6.5 months of receiving their NOA2. Everyones case is different  I am hoping mine is under 7 but everything is a different outcome

If that's the case I'm screwed I front loaded to the max very thick application. They are bound to be afraid of mine. I hope that's  not the case but possible. If I seen my application I would push it aside for a easier one.  This is not good  lol time will tell though......

us too, I think we are just looking for any reason why people with dates past ours are being approved, once that starts happening we get very anxious and impatient. Im trying to chill out now and just check the sites twice a day with California being 8 hours ahead of me, once when I wake and once in the evening. My fiancé is getting nervous too he checks his email and the old site almost as much as I've been checking old and new sites.

Morning here in the Uk is actually bliss as I know California isn't awake yet so its calm before the "will this be the day" kicks in. Someone with the exact same dates as us got an RFE yesterday so my argggggggggghhh peaked, right now I would take a simple RFE just to know someone has picked up our file and is working on it!!

Hey guys!

I've been scanning this forum forever and finally decided to introduce us :) We are May filers! Anybody here from Britain?

We personally feel that the time flies very fast :))

I am a bit confused with an old and new sites you all talk about. Can somebody explain please? :) We usually refresh Case Tracker app to check the updated status.

New site

https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/

Glad you can join us. @AmandaandChayne have provided you with some great information and tools. But, many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline or your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine your Embassy. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right-hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Thanks

Glad to have you here. May I extend some information that will help you on your Journey there in China. But a little housekeeping is in order.

This is a website that is dedicated to those who are processing a visa from the US Embassy in China. I personally don't have a lot of knowledge so "buyer be where".

From another VJ member who had firsthand knowledge provided this information.

 

GUZ takes on average 30 days to deliver P3, it is not electronic.

I can tell you that P3 for GUZ is only 4 line items

1. DS-160 Confirmation Page

2. Copy of Passport Personal Page

3. 2 Passport style photos White Background, Well Lit, 50mm x 50mm

4. Return the P3 instructions page

 

#4 is what prevents people in China from getting a head start, they want the instructions page mailed back with the requested documents.

 

http://www.ustraveldocs.com/cn/cn-iv-visaapplyinfo.asp#KVisaPetitions

 

U.S. Consulate General Guangzhou when it is time to schedule an interview. K visa applicants will be notified by the U.S. Consulate General Guangzhou when it is time to schedule an interview.

 

An individual with an approved petition and a priority date that is current for processing (when applicable) is eligible to apply for an immigrant visa or K nonimmigrant visa. Immigrant visa applicants will be notified by either the National Visa Center (NVC)

 

And don't forget the help from other members here:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/94-china/

 

And the Portal here on VJ for processing in China and what to expect

http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=China&cty=Guangzhou

 

 or the http://www.ustraveldocs.com/cn/cn-iv-visaapplyinfo.asp

 

Don't waste time while you're waiting for P3, complete DS-160 and print confirmation page. Since you are from China(I provided your website for you below), go to the 2nd link below and click immigrant to register under K1 visa. After you register and enter info it should be clear on how to pay fee, make sure you print Bank deposit slip. just follow directions under Nonimmigrant Visa, but make sure when you register K1 is under Immigrant Visa.

 

Directions go to http://www.ustraveldocs.com/cn/cn-niv-visaapply.asp

 

Register(Create Account) https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/?language=English&country=China After you register make sure to choose K1 visa under Immigrant, it wasn't an option for me under non-immigrant.

 

 

Greenbaum, thank you for providing the help!  I am very grateful.  I think I fixed the housekeeping issues you identified.  I am using this reply as a test.

Strange question.  I have heard a few times about the "old" and the "new" site.  I have only been going to one site to check the status.  Do you have the links to check both the "old" and "new" site?
