Hello everyone. I think this is more my group for my dates haha NOA2: November 30th and I realized of that December 9th.. should I call already to know if they got my case and my fiance (petitioner) needs to call or I can do it too? 😁😁😁

Either of you can call. Though you're likely to be on hold for a while unless you call late at night (US/Eastern time), so unless you can call the US for free, I'd have the petitioner do it...

Joining this thread today. We got approved this morning with yesterday date on new site.

When your NOA2 approval date falls on the last date of the month then you can take advantage of the sale. Buy one month and get the second for free.  You can be in either or you can be in one only your choice.

Anyone else trying to find the willpower to NOT call the NVC every single day to see if your case was received, the number assigned, sent to the embassy, or all the above???

Up. I have the will power.

Yes... well that may be because you are not currently waiting for news about your case.

Your questions was maybe rhetorical so I used humor. Humor is good for you. It helps when you have heaped on this much stress. Take a deep breath and don't yell at the Zoo staff.  Pssst. that's a joke to.  Good luck on the rest of your journey.

Just piggyback on someone who is calling every day (there’s lots of them on here). Once you see someone on your date post they got something, call. Boom. You don’t have to call every day.

That's a good suggestion. Many find the need to call everyday and it just need to be that way. I suggest some find others from their country and follow their timeline and when they start receiving their approvals then it's time to begin calling.

 

@Tara & Rohit Use the tools here in VJ to answer "when I am going to get etc. etc." question. Near your picture there is a link for your timeline. Select it and once you're on the next page near your picture  you will see "follow similar timelines" and it will populate 12 other couples who are near your dates. Scroll down and you will see a "spreadsheet" style page showing all the variables for measurement for when others are getting the same notice of approval or action.  Try it. It really works!

 

I followed those that were in my group to give me an idea where they were in processing so I could judge if I was ahead or behind.  It's pretty accurate, maybe within a day or so.

 

If you choose to follow those twelve members then you will get an email every time their status updates.

I did the first step which was to update my email with NVC to receive notifications about my case. However, I did the same with USCIS and that was less than helpful! I used the app and got the update right away. Do emails actually get sent out from NVC?

Parking here for awhile, we got approved Dec 4th, no approvals on sites but got via snail mail on 10th. Now to read up on what's next :)

Congrats! Did they ever say why your case took soooooo long? Was it because of background check or so? It's very unusual especially since there was no RFE.

NO reason at all, when we called the tier 2 said it was strange and put in an inquiry for us on nov 12th and we got approval dec 4th. We did put in an online inquiry in September which said nothing in their reply. 

 

I think some adjudicators  just works slower. Unfortunately we got the really slow worker
