Yesterday my fiancee received in the mail the NVC letter stating case number. Hope to have my interview schedule soon. Thank's God. To my fellow April filers good luck to all of us guys. :)

I emailed NVC last august 15 and they just replied today. And we've never been lucky in calling them. i'm so happy now, it says that they've forwarded our case to the US embassy and also got our new case number! yipee!!! So I'll be expecting to get the NVC letter soon too.

Velmark, I feel we'll have same interview dates! Good luck to the rest. I'm sure you'll be hearing from NVC soon.

DeeZee, really hope we'll have same interview dates. I'll be very happy. :)

Hi rambaldi...We forgot to ask them if they sent our case to the Embassy thats why i have'nt updated my timeline. :hehe:

My Fiance's trying to call again the NVC by Monday regarding our case if its is already sent in Manila or still with 'em... but the NVC said that it wont take that long.hopefully they already sent it.:blink: have you tried using

IV Schedule

Since ours was sent out on Mon, I'm expecting it to get to the consulate next week.... *fingers crossed* :)

What's IV schedule? I thought the interview would only be scheduled only after we've submitted Packet 3? Correct me if I'm wrong, coz I know different consulates have different ways of handling the K1s.

I emailed NVC last august 15 and they just replied today. And we've never been lucky in calling them. i'm so happy now, it says that they've forwarded our case to the US embassy and also got our new case number! yipee!!! So I'll be expecting to get the NVC letter soon too.

Velmark, I feel we'll have same interview dates! Good luck to the rest. I'm sure you'll be hearing from NVC soon.

DeeZee, congrats on making it to NVC! Yay! :thumbs: I'd know how you feel, after the double NOA2 fiasco! ;)

Rambaldi,

I just went over to visit my girl so I didn't try again until yesterday. As of then it still hadn't been received. Ridiculous.

Awwww Deron, I can't believe your case hasn't been recieved by NVC!! :angry: What the heck is CSC doing? Have you called CSC and asked them if they've mailed it out already? At least that'd give you an idea of where your case is right now. Then call your congressman again!!

Just called NVC this morning, our petition is still there. 10 Days as of today since they received it. So, the wait continues. I was told they normally take 2-4 weeks before being sent on. Great, more waiting.

Etripke, if you have your KEV# you can call the call center and get an appointment right away. No need to wait.

Rambaldi, I called again today and I was told that they contract the shipping out and that the system wouldn't say when mine was shipped. Funny, they said I had been shipped out when I called yesterday, I just forgot to ask when. Anyway, the guy is getting a supervisor to call the contractor and then call me back (fingers crossed, hope absent...). NVC says 2-4 weeks, I said it's been 29 days...do something....sorry, you just have to wait. My Congressman's visa gal is on vacation this week so Tuesday is the earliest I can hope for anything. Only a month and a day after approval...ludicrious. I'm so happy I got to see my sweetie this week, I'd be irate otherwise, especially seeing people approved well after me already on their way to the embassy. If I had applied two weeks sooner I'd be within weeks of seeing my honey, now it looks like months if everything goes great from here on out.

On a happier note, I hope everyone has a great long weekend. No matter what else is going on in our lives, the visa process alone makes us deserve this as much as anyone. Take care all...

WOW !!!..............SOOOOOO many touches..........haven't seen or heard of so many for anyone else !!

Obviously, I'm hoping to be one of the lucky ones that got mailed out within 8 or 9 days of approval.

All this activity MIGHT mean CSC is getting their act together. Let's hope so..... B)

As I understand it, they MUST have the petition physically in hand prior to setting the appointment. That is from the Embassy Website. Do you know something I don't?

It would be nice to be able to make it however.

WHEW!! Finally we're through. Our case was mailed to the Embassy on the 28th!! :)

That's some great news!
