HI Everyone....Just wanted to add my experiences on this thread...

Everything depends on your Service ceter and your NVC. NVC sent my papers to the embassy the next day after they received them. We already got our Packet 3 cuz Cairo sent it out the same day they received our papers. I was shocked but it is true. So even with the EID Feast we received our Packet 3 within 5 days. Now we have completed Packet 3 and mailed it back yesterday. Cairo embassy received it today. I had emailed them a question about the new fees and instead of answering my question they said they have received our Packet 3 and will notify my fiancee of the interview date within 10 days.

Congratulations!! Yes, you're right, it all depends on which service center, although NVC is the same for everyone. You were lucky to have VSC as they send the papers out quickly whereas CSC waits to fill up a crate to send to NVC (about 3-5 weeks). Congrats again on your speedy process

We haven't even called NVC yet - will wait until Jeremy gets home and settles down a bit - we are both going to be very busy!!! It's amazing how much we both have to do still!!!

I updated my timeline. the case is now at NVC(dec 27) got the NOA2 on Dec 23. When I called the 202 number, the lady made it seem like it would be at NVC for a long time... anyone know the direct NVC number?

NVC's number is on your NOA2 603-334-0700 Don't worry, things are only at NVC for 2-3 days unless over a weekend.

Great news from the Lone Star State -- check the timeline ... we're locked in for a 1/31 interview at the Embassy! Plane tickets are all booked (and thankfully we were able to use miles!) and we're heading down the home stretch. Had a wonderful engagement ceremony at her home earlier this month and we've set April 19 as THE date. We're both still very guarded about the transition -- praying that the cultural differences aren't overwhelming and that she loves it here. Cautiously optimistic is probably the best way to put it.

I've got a GREAT feeling that 2008 will be a Happy New Year! Best of luck to all!

Well, considering the waiting that we've all been through and are still going through, as well as the trials and tribulations of dealing with either CSC or VSC, next year will be the best for all of us! Congratulations to all who have received their visa's! And to the rest of us still waiting, may the New Year bring us speedy interview dates and visa's soon to follow!!!

Thanks to everyone on VJ for making this year more bearable. Your advice and support is appreciated more than you'll ever know. I'm very thankful for my friends here and wish everyone a:

Happy New Year with many more to follow with the ones we love!!
