Okay i just found this forum, yeah i'm a little slow i know....called uscis on may 17th and they told me we were approved on may 7th.....NVC received our packet on 5/21 and it was sent to london on 5/23. Two day turnaround is great! Anywho...we haven't gotten an email yet or anything in snail mail. How long is it taking everyone's paperwork to make it to their embassies?

Welcome! Could you update your timeline so you show up on my stats? If I have time this week I will add a few columns to show our interview dates...

Yeah, sorry about that....it's updated now. Thanks for doing that spreadsheet, it's a big help :thumbs:

I am not calling them today. I have a 5 day weekend. I will call them thursday and I will just enjoy my weekend before I get stressed and upset about people being approved at CSC after me but getting to embassy before me. I hope CSC didn't lose my paperwork after they approved it. Only time will tell. :clock:

I called NVC again today, they don't have my case yet. :( The lady I spoke w/ was actually very nice, she asked me when my approval date was. When I told her "last thursday, the 17th" she said "That's cute...that it had only been a week and I was calling." I told her that after the long USCIS wait, I was anxious. :blush: She said she understood, and suggested I try back next week, because it takes about 2 weeks for the case to reach them. She did say that K-1 petitions do not stay w/ NVC very long, before they are forwarded on to the embassy.

So nothing left to do, but wait out the long weekend.

-P

Still no hard copy NOA2, or change in status online. :angry: What is going on? All these people approved yet many are not approvals online, or the paper NOA2's. :huh:

Hmm, so we are supposed to get a paper mail from NVC when it has been forwarded to the embassy?

I'm busy worrying about my fiancee's medical interview, police certificates, and the timing of the interview now, does anyone know the general way that works? Should another 2-3 months before the interview be expected? If it were only 2, it would be a problem, since she has some other things booked in mid july.

1/24/07 - I-129F mailed to Nebraska Service Center

2/4/07 - I-129F returned to me, needs original signature

2/5/07 - I-129F re-submitted to California Service Center

2/9/07 - I-129F received per CSC; I never received hard copy NOA1

2/14/07 - Touch

3/11/07 - Still awaiting snail mail NOA1

4/18/07 - Touch

5/4/07 - Touch - "Marked for approval" per RFE trick phone call 5/18

5/7/07 - Touch

5/18/07 - Received and entered at NVC per phone call!

5/21/07 - NOA2

5/22/07 - Forwarded to embassy

5/23/07 - Paper NOA2

If you go read the guides there is a general timeline, notice the little guy at the top of everything with the sign that says Please read the GUIDES????? Also if she has things more pressing to get to you as quickly as possible, what's up with that?

Going to police to request a report only takes a day, may take longer to get the report. The medical interview will take up another day, and she can go at her leisure. I do not see a problem, and you should not either.
