Has anyone’s case move to the embassy/interview? Or are we all stuck at NVC? 

[MJ&YY 134]

We're waiting for my fiancee's visa to be mailed by the embassy (interview last week, approved).  The ustraveldocs site shows her passport is being processed for delivery.

I think a lot of people are stuck at NVC. ☹ We got our expedite approved, otherwise I think we would have still been stuck at NVC as well.

Would you be willing to share the reason that allowed your case to be expedited? Thank you!

It’s been more than 70 days since we got our petition approved and Stil case is, “At NVC” status. 
@kswheezyhow did you do the expedited approval?

I don't mind sharing a summarized version. I was trying not to splash our business across the internet, but maybe it will help someone determine if they would like to request.

 

I have a child that considers my fiance their father, something that we are going to make legal once we are married. I explained in detail to the embassy and NVC that my fiance and I had planned for him to be back here much sooner than what became reality to support our kiddo with remote learning and be the primary stay at home parent as I worked to support us. Super summarized, but that is the generalized body of it. I just explained in much more detail the emotional and financial strain it was putting on me and my little family.

 

It's kind of confusing as we were never told that we were "approved for an expedite", but the embassy finally requested the case from the NVC after I explained to them that I had requested the expedite at NVC per their recommendation, and that I was subsequently told from the NVC that they could not forward my case to the embassy as it was not back to routine visa services. That might all sound super confusing... but it was a lot of emails between myself, the embassy, and NVC. I was just sincere with the hardship we faced. It wasn't until I notified the embassy that the NVC stated that they could not forward my request for review, and the embassy contacted the NVC, that our case was then "In Transit" 2 business days later. It doesn't hurt to ask.

Thank you so much for sharing. I'm happy to hear that they approved your expedite (and have souls!). I hope that your fiance being there helps take some of the strain off of things for you! Congrats

Someone once said that if you respond to the automated voice that you don't have your receipt number then you get transferred to a live person.

Any March filers still stuck waiting for NOA2 after sending in RFE?

[Howie824 1]

They received my application on Feb 24. I just got the NOA1 in the mail today. The notice date said March 23. They cashed my check on March 24. They did not send me text or email even though I filed  G-1145, E-Notification of Application/ Petition Acceptance
