Edward and Jaycel

Sending good thoughts your way!

I think it's a case of typical government employees... Some will give you the common timeframe and some will give you the worst case scenario just to cover their behinds. LOL

So happy for you guys!!!

Gentle correction here.... The NOA 2 from USCIS for a K-1 does not contain your new case number. That will be assigned by NVC once they enter your case into their system. The NOA 2 should contain your beneficiary's A Number from USCIS, but you will not get your DoS case number until NVC puts you in their system and then, yes, it should start with BMB and a series of numbers beginning with 2024 if they assign it by December 31.

You cannot call the NVC anymore… use this link to send an inquiry https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html

You can contact them using this link… put in the required information and you n the section where it says “Enter your inquiry below:” tell them your NOA2 date and that you are trying to get your case number. In that space also tell them that you want to make sure that they have your and your beneficiary’s correct email addresses and give them both of your email addresses. Then in the spot provided, attach a scan of your NOA2. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html

We are happy to help our fellow immigration journey travelers 😁

Yes... the guy from SSA that processed her application said that it could take up to 4 weeks

If you look at my post in the thread I opened for November AOS filers, you can see the list of contents from my cover letters for the I-485, I-864 & I-765 packets

Jaycel had her SS Card in the mail 6 days after her SSA Office appointment

Welcome to the thread and thank you for sharing! 🙂

Thank you for this information!! Looking forward to following along with each other's journeys in the November Filers thread 😁

Best wishes to you!!

Good luck and keep us updated on any progress!

Ugh 😢 The embassies are so bad at this

I second this... Rapid Visa will do nothing but cause you headaches. If you're going to spend the money anyway, may as well hire an attorney. Co-mingling of finances and evidence of co-habitation as a married couple are the gold standards of a bona fide marriage in USCIS's eyes. A letter explaining why you don't have these things and a story about your relationship will hold no weight with the adjudicator when processing your application for AOS. Rapid Visa is not helping you here. My advice is to file with everything you have currently and while your AOS is processing, work on getting joint accounts opened, get both of your names on the utility/mobile phone bills, etc. so that you have this stuff ready to submit in case you get an RFE or an interview. USCIS knows that when adjusting from a K-1 there is not an abundance of evidence at the AOS stage, so do the best that you can.

Thanks man! Glad you were able to get the records. Glad someone could learn from my RFE experience 🙂 Our AOS package was delivered to the lockbox this morning so now the waiting begins. Appreciate the kind words!

From everything I've read, that probably means the interview has been waived and you are on your way to approval! Sending good thoughts your way... please update this thread with what happens next!

Ah ok didn’t know you tried that… Sending good thoughts your way!

@hplusj and @ETM8986 here's the post I made for November 2024 filers 😁

@ETM8986 That's great!! Was the electronic notice that was in your spam the notice of receipt of your package? What date did the e-notice arrive? Did it give you the receipt number or did that just come with on the NOA in the mail? Sorry for the million questions. LOL We just sent ours via FedEx to the Phoenix LockBox yesterday and it is scheduled to be delivered Monday so I'm trying to get an idea of what to expect. 😁 By the way.... I created a post for us November filers if you want to jump in there

Sorry yes... I got this confused with another post where they went to "Approved". It sounds like they are at least actively working the case
