    Thank you! Her medical was this past December so we are good! Appreciate your help.

    Hi everyone, My wife and I recently got married and are preparing to file the I-485 Adjustment of Status. I’ve come across conflicting information online: does she need a new medical exam with updated vaccination records? She previously had a medical exam during consular processing; does this exempt her? Also, do we need to submit any related documents with our application? Thank you!

    I’m excited to share that we just picked up my fiancé’s visa at LBC! A big thanks to both of you for your guidance throughout the process. Here’s our timeline: - 1/16: CEAC status changed from “Application Received” to “Approved” and then “Issued” all in the same day. - 1/17: Received an email with tracking information from LBC. - 1/18: LBC tracking updated to “Ready for Pickup.” We were fortunate to secure her CFO seminar appointment for 1/20. Thanks again for all your support!

    Hello everyone, Great news—my fiancé successfully passed her K1 visa interview yesterday! 🎉 I was wondering if anyone has any recent data points on the timeframe from the interview to receiving the visa in hand? I've checked the forums, but the timelines seem to have varied quite a bit over the years. Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!

    I'm sorry to hear that. Tread carefully my friend.
  6. Spicy Chickenjoy
    This is exactly what I experienced. You have to wait until the CEAC status changes to "Ready" before the website will recognize the NVC case number.
  7. Spicy Chickenjoy
    Yes! The status changed to "Ready" last Friday. I was able to pay the MRV fee and schedule her visa interview for January 7, 2025. I've also booked her biometrics appointment for December 24 and her medical exam for December 26. I'm currently working remotely from the Philippines with my fiancé, and my boss approved extending my trip until we have visa in hand. The light at the end of the tunnel is finally in sight 😊

    LOL! Awesome, that's super quick. Hopefully ours is the same.
  9. Spicy Chickenjoy
    Thanks @J.M.! @Edward and Jaycel how long did it take for your case to change to "Ready" status from "In Transit"?
  10. Spicy Chickenjoy
    Thank you! This puts my mind at ease. I was concerned there might be an issue that would take time to request support and resolve.

    I was notified today that our case has been transferred from the NVC to the U.S. Embassy in Manila. I have completed the DS-160 and filled out most of the visa application on the U.S. Visa Scheduling website. However, I am encountering an issue on the final page, where it requests our NVC case number and payment option. When I attempt to submit the information, I receive the following error: "The Case Number entered is invalid. Please confirm your Case Number and re-enter it." Currently, our CEAC status shows as "In Transit." Do I need to wait until it changes to "Ready" before I can pay the visa fee?

    Logged into USCIS this morning and saw that my case was sent to NVC yesterday!
  13. Spicy Chickenjoy
    That's super helpful and encouraging—thank you! Sounds like we're only a few weeks away now. Fingers crossed!
  14. Spicy Chickenjoy
    No news here. It's been 51 days since NOA2. Still waiting for NVC to receive the case.
  15. Spicy Chickenjoy
    Thank you so much 😊 I'm crossing my fingers! That's good to know - things are moving along at least. Next month, I'm heading to the Philippines to visit my fiancé, as well as my grandparents and friends, for about a month. I don't expect we'll have an interview date by that time, and I'm at peace with that. My plan is to fly out again before the interview and stay until she has her visa in hand. Afterward, we'll fly back to Chicago together.
  16. Spicy Chickenjoy
    Thanks for the clarification.
  17. Spicy Chickenjoy
    Thanks for the update! Ours was approved on Sept 10. We've been waiting 34 days and are hoping it's sent within the next few weeks. Have you tried escalating your case to your local representative as @apnzz suggested? You can also submit a new inquiry. I've submitted two so far and they always include this verbiage: "If you have not received a communication from NVC about this case within 60 days from the I-797 approval notice, please contact us again."

    Our K-1 was approved by USCIS on 9/10, and we're now waiting for the petition to be sent to the NVC. Does anyone know what appointment dates are currently being scheduled? I’m planning a trip and would like to get an idea of when her interview might be, so I can plan accordingly. I know it's hard to forecast but any insights would be appreciated! Thanks!
  19. Spicy Chickenjoy
    Our K-1 case was approved today. Fingers crossed our case made it on the stack shipped out today 🤞
  20. Spicy Chickenjoy
    Thanks for the heads up! Our K-1 case was just approved by USCIS today. There's no chance we'll get through NVC stage and have interview scheduled by Sept 28. Here's hoping the new system is improved!
  21. Spicy Chickenjoy
    Thank you for this! I will do the same once the physical NOA2 comes in. Appreciate it!
  22. Spicy Chickenjoy
    Thanks for posting this. I was wondering the same thing with our recent USCIS approval. How many days did you wait before contacting NVC, @apnzz?
  23. Spicy Chickenjoy
    Excellent advice. Nothing to add other than have fun!
  24. Spicy Chickenjoy
    Super helpful - thank you!
  25. Spicy Chickenjoy
    Yes, you are right. But his question was specifically about the meeting requirement. Of course more visits are better, especially to maintain the relationship.
