@Greenbaum my fiance called visa center and they told her that she have to send all original documents to me to take to the interview including her social security number and passport thats just crazy man.

When you say "visa center" which are you referring to USCIS, NVC or Embassy?

Quick question: 

 

We never ever got any updates on the websites, from the RFE to our approval. the new website still says case was received. 

 

So now, when counting 2 -4 weeks for case number (including weekends I'm guessing) do we go according to the date on the letter ? My fiancé found the NOA2 in the mail on the 29th of October, however the letter says the case was finalized on the 25th of October. Do the send the case to the NVC on the same day as the day they approved and mailed it? 

 

Do we count the 2-4 weeks from the 25th of Oct, or from the day you got the mail.?

 

Sorry if this is a stupid question

That's wrong information. The agent was quoting what is needed for a CR1 married visa and not the K-1. K-1 is handled by and all instructions come from the Embassy.

noa1 date is actually they date on ur hard copy. Sadly if u reach the magical 220 day u must wait till 225 to contact Uscis. They use what the new site says. Even if ur paper says X date. 

They added 5 days onto everyone’s accepted on NOA1
