Hope you're all having a lovely day!

 

What is the process now?

 

We called and got our Case & Receipt Number (LND2020...) Which is 'still at NVC'

 

We filled in the DS-160 which then gave us another number (AA009...) which is 'No Status'

 

I know it's just waiting again, but what exactly are we waiting for 😅

You should consider to be a part of the conversation for your country here on VJ. Go to the blue ribbon above, select "forums" then scroll about three-fourths of the page down and select the region that most represents where your country is located.  There you will find others from your embassy who are asking the same questions or exploring thier next steps.

 

All the information of what is next is on your embassy website.

Most people with NOA2’s from April/May 2020 applied in December/Jan of this past year. 
 

My NOA1 is only three months after these people, but due to slow USCIS processing this past year, my NOA2 was November. 
 

Morocco’s consulate has resumed K1 interviews and they are currently wrapping up Feb/March NOA2’s. Of course I might be wrong.. but given the fact my NOA1 wasn’t that long after the next batch of April/May people who will be getting interviews, I’m assuming I’m not looking at that extensive of a backlog as I previously anticipated even though my NOA2 wasn’t until November. 
 

I hope this makes sense and brings some optimism. Thoughts?

I think that sounds logical. 🤷‍♀️

Alright, we have an update. I was nervous to share anything because we weren't entirely sure what was going on between the NVC and embassy.

 

After many e-mails between myself, the NVC, and our embassy... our case is at our embassy and we just received our P3 (just an e-mail with the documents needed and the okay for my fiance to get his medical done).

 

I did request an expedite from the NVC regarding my personal situation at home here in the US. The NVC initially said that that they could not forward our case to our embassy as it was not processing routine visa services. I had already been speaking with the embassy and they knew of my situation and stated that I could request an expedite, so it was a little bit of a shock when the NVC flat out refused to send the request for review. When I contacted the embassy regarding the notification from the NVC, they stated that they would look into it and contact the NVC and be in touch with us shortly. Our case was 'In Transit' 2 business days later, and 'Ready' the following day after that. I am going to assume that our case is being treated as an expedite, though we have not been told that directly. We had not heard from the embassy since it was 'Ready' about a week ago, so I messaged them yesterday and they sent my fiance the P3 instructions and okay to do his medical. There is a little light at the end of the tunnel! 💗

Happy to report an update: our petition is on its way to Sydney! We were notified by email and after checking the CEAC site, our case status has been updated to "In transit"

Thank you @0NI . I sincerely hope things in the world will calm and we will see some normalcy this year, allowing all of the embassies to return to their normal services. I realize each person's journey is going to vary at this point in the process, especially in the midst of a pandemic. I was nervous about posting anything, and don't want to appear like I am gloating. I choose to continue to keep positive thoughts and prayers for everyone waiting to hear something, anything. It will come. It will.

Our case is now in transit to KTM embassy. We also received an email with a letter from NVC to make us aware of this transfer. Is it now ok to fill DS-160 and start gathering documents for Interview? KTM embassy is currently doing K1. Any suggestion guys?

Is there an updated list of shipping dates from the NVC? I've had a look and can only see up until the end of December 2020

It looks like it's on a similar schedule to the one posted. Ours was sent when I guessed it would (factoring in public holidays) based on what was published for last year. Time to receive was super-fast considering the conditions although in our case delivery was held up because of the public holiday here in Australia.

We received the packet 3 via email the day after our case arrived at the Consulate in Sydney. We sent what they asked for straight away. The following day the packet 4 was emailed to us along with a date for an interview on the 10th of Feb!

Similar? or continuation? If it's every other, then the next shipping date would be 8th February 2021, right?
