Thanks @Greenbaum .  She lives in Panama and that's the consulate that we selected.  I'll look at that info on google drive as soon as I can.  Thank you.

Bare with me because I am a little confused. The will assign a case number according to where she lives not where she would like to interview at unless that was something given to her by the Venezuela consulate. There are also residency requirements before you can just pick a country to have your visa interview in. Just giving you a heads up.

Thanks for the info.  Allow me to clarify:  She was born in Venezuela and has a Venezuela passport.  She moved to Panama 2 years ago and has legal residency in Panama.

Then you are right for her to interview in Panama. Thanks for the follow-up clarification.

Same as you. Get the P3 letter from your embassy and follow along. His is going to be the same as yours.  Normally they will speak about K-2 either separately or along with your instructions with a side not for K-2's.

Thank you

I saw in the Feb thread that someone with an NOA2 date of 2/28/19 got approved. 

 

My daily routine:  Log in to Visa Journey, check the old USCIS site, check the new USCIS site, check informed delivery.

 

I get to sort through all of my "junk mail" online and don't have to worry about it when I get home.  That's one good thing about this process.  :-)

Same! We just signed up for Informed Delivery with USPS so we don’t miss a thing. Our NOA1 date is March 4 so feeling like new information, whether an RFE or NOA2, could be coming any day now! We’ve been waiting to set a wedding date until we get an interview date, so that has me more anxious than anything else.

Don't put any money down on anything that you can't afford to loose. It's not approved till it's in your hands and you have looked the visa over for spelling errors. We have seen too many who have jumped the gun and have lost a TON of money. Don't you be one.

 

Here is what is going to be in the P3 letter and quite possibly on the website for the embassy:

 

"Visa issuance is not guaranteed. Therefore, we recommend that you do NOT make any travel plans, quit your job, or sell your properties, purchase airline tickets that are non-refundable or place deposits for wedding venue's until a consular officer has approved your visa and it has been issued."

 

Do not buy airline tickets that are not changeable. I have seen too many situations that the visa was delayed for a number of reasons and the couple had to incur additional costs such as wedding deposits and airline fares. Just something to consider.

We’re doing the ceremony & reception for free in a friend’s backyard to avoid this. Mostly just dealing with questions every day from anxious friends & family members looking for a wedding timeline and getting frustrated that we can’t provide one!

Congratulations! Did you get a notification, checked on website, or was it paper mail?

 

My NOA1 has receipt date 3/1/19, but notice date is 3/6/19. The old site shows the former date, and the new site shows the latter 🤔 Anyway, it's getting close!
