Did the NVC already receive your packet?

No. But I think as long as it arrives and receives a number before the 5th, it will leave with that shipment. I'm expecting it to arrive by Friday.

Ah ok.  I'm in the same boat as you.  I'm hoping mine get there and they process it and it ships out by the 5th. If not then I have to wait until the 19th.  And as of right now, the next available interview date is 14 March.  The longer it takes to make it to the NVC and get shipped out then the longer we have to wait for this interview at the Embassy in Manila.

I called today before lunch and they hadn't received it yet. 2 weeks ago I didn't think making appointments would be to difficult as the next appointment was on 27 Jan... but then all of a sudden all of February was booked and last week the next appointment was 7 marhc.. and now its 14 march. So even though we were so excited about NOA2... the excitement was short lived once I realized NVC can take a much longer time than expected.. Before, I wasn't aware of them only sendning them out every 2 weeks.. so that delays it a bit. And now the appointments are being booked almost 2 months out.. so the stress level is going back up lol

I think the only thing we can hope for is cancellations so that will open up a slot.  I'm trying to relocate my family NLT the end of April.

Yes, even after I have an appointment scheduled, ill keep checking to see if there are any cancellations. It doesn't help that they only do K1 interviews on Thursdays now... 4-5 days out of a whole month for us.. lol..

We initially got our NOA2 in November 2018, but were issued a second one this month, so I'm hopping in this thread as well!

Why did they issue you a second NOA2?

I gave LOTS of details about it in the thread here:

Hello everyone,

 

@Greenbaum

 

Is that Feb 5th date for all embassies or for a specific one?  My friends' package left yesterday for my same embassy, Feb 5th is exactly two weeks from yesterday. Please advise. Thanks.

I'm seeing lots of timelines that say their package left the NVC for London yesterday, 1/22/19. However, when I search DHL's website, it finds no results for shipments to London yesterday.

 

Here are my search parameters:

 

Am I doing something wrong?

Looks like we didn’t make this shipment waiting for the next one.

How did you know that guys? Do we suppose to wait till tomorrow for updates? Did you call them to find out? 

I checked my NVC status and it still shows at NVC. Little bit disappointed ☹️

Yep - figured out that I needed to expand the date range like this, and it worked:

 

*EDIT:

I do have another question, though. The shipment details say it contains 4 pieces. Is that the number of visa petitions the shipment contains?
