This NVC stage is so stressful  it's "only" been 6 weeks for us but other couples with the same timeline and Embassy have already been shipped and were able to schedule their interview so now I'm wondering what is wrong with our case. It doesn't help that the NVC doesn't take phone calls and provides no information whatsoever besides the case number they assign. And the longer this stage (arbitrarily) takes, the longer we have to wait to get an interview...

100%.  Gotta lean on each other here, it's going to be a rough stage. 

 

When the embassy says, "Check with the NVC", they must know that means a dead end for everyone inquiring.  All we can do is sit in the dark.

Have you tried contacting your US senator/congressperson? My fiancé contacted his and they were able to reach the NVC by phone and confirmed that there was no problem with our case. They still can't provide a timeline for shipping but it's reassuring to know that our case hasn't been lost or other bad news. They also said cases weren't necessarily shipped rigorously in the chronological order they had arrived at NVC. Nothing very conclusive but it makes a nice change from the automatic/unreliable replies to online public inquiries!

Already on it!  Submitted a request to my senator, just gotta drop off the waiver at the federal building.  Hopefully she can get some answers for us.

My petition was sent out TODAY!
Does that mean the shipping dates on the first page is wrong?

[PokuPoku 24]

And now today its marked as ready!!

Meanwhile, I got a new NOA2 from USCIS with new validity dates so that's confusing as hell lol

Going to review best practices for emailing NVC, make sure we're still on track with the same case

54 days since the case was received at the embassy and still no Packet 3.

 

What's frustrating everyone else today? 😂

Hey, was thinking of you guys today!

 

We got no movement either.  Really hoping for something positive tomorrow.

Oh just throwing myself what is now my routine bi-weekly pity party during the 48-hour window when the NVC graciously ships a handful of cases that never include mine 🤪 While psychologically preparing to spend Christmas without my fiancé as there will be a minimum 6-month wait for the interview once my Embassy receives my case

Yeah...eesh. Maybe part of that wait includes the delay in shipping! Mine is showing something like either 33 days or 274, depending on which classification the K visa is considered. So...either June or February I guess.

The embassy today emailed us to say we had to reply to the email with a long list of things, such as the ds-160 and I-134, before we can schedule the interview. It all has to be put into 1 pdf file too, which is kinda annoying. I would have scanned the documents before I sent them to my fiancee if I knew I have to email the documents too.

Mine was sent today to the embassy (Paris)

NOA2 1 month later than yours I think

Oh, how frustrating, but at the same time you are moving forward! Progress!!!
