Glad I helped :D

Our interviews are exactly a week apart. My medical exam is in a week and 3 days, exactly 1 week before my interview.

Planning to get a November 1st ticket if everything goes well.

Medical is on the 22nd for me. Which is great. One week before the interview. Let me know how it went and what you used or had to provide extra so that I can prepare according to the latest info :-)

Sweet! I plan on the 3rd if all goes planned. trying to figure out what I will do with my savings. Maybe just take it all out in cash at the bank? Transferring it via bank will cost a fortune. I am calling on monday to make my appointment for a medical. Hopefully I can do it next week also. This week will be crazy. Have to defend my paper in order to graduate (that is if I passed it). Exciting, stressful last few weeks!

After I registered I realized I did it wrong. When you log in you can select "add applicant"  on the homepage and then from the drop down menu select the K visa option. Following the instructions for that should get you to a step where you have to pay the fee before you can proceed.

This. I guess I made the same mistake haha. 

 

Thanks! Fixed it :-)

I had my interview this morning :) I woke up at 5am because I couldn't sleep, I was that nervous. The whole process was pretty easy; a lot of waiting, but the interview itself lasted about 3 minutes only. I was like, don't you want to keep my photocopies? Don't you want to see my pictures? He said no, we have everything we need. I was surprised by that as every guide says to take photocopies of your docs. Maybe they scan them these days?? Anyway, I was a little over prepared but that's ok. I am so happy to say I have been approved!! I know this is only the start of a long journey but after more than 7 months of waiting, I am so glad this part is nearly over.

 

Thanks for being my buddies these last few months, you've helped me more than you know. Even though I don't post everyday, I do read this thread everyday and will continue to do so until everyone has NOA2 and beyond.

 

Good luck to you all, especially those still waiting for NOA2! We'll be with our loved ones soooon!

Grats!

 

How did you pay for the interview? They didn't include a page or anything where it says please transfer funds to this address in packet 4. 

Is there a website you have to use? On usvisa-info.com there is nothing. Just a way to register the appointment.

Our interview date is the 28th at 13:30 (default time). Hoped it be earlier, but looks like I will be with her right on time for her birthday.

Called the NVC today got my case number and they said it was sent to London yesterday.

You can call on monday. They will have it already. They get a digital notification. This is what happened to me when I asked the Consulate in Amsterdam why they already had it. They then send me a scan of the package 3 that was mailed to me (that arrived at my house physically 3 hours later). 

 

 

On friday I filled in the DS-160. Will post it on monday. On friday my fiancee will send me our copy of the submitted package. Sooooo its moving real quick, which is causing my fiancee with ADHD to panic. They dont do well with quick things that they cannot control. Its hard on her, but she will be ok when its all over.

I received package 3 today in the mail. So I can return that on monday. That way my fiancee had time to ship our package to me. She had to spend her salary on repairs. Not a big problem as long as she ships it to me on time.
dbuizertMaleNetherlands2014-09-18 07:47:00

Just checked. Apperently im drunk but also the case is ready. Guess that means a digital send. Yay for speedy movement.

They are sending the package to the Netherlands today. I just called them and they told me it was processed friday and will be shipped end of the day!

At least i know the case is at the NVC and it goes quick after that. I have most papers ready so that way I can send it back immediately.
dbuizertMaleNetherlands2014-09-13 10:28:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMarch TSC
NVC just received it this morning so it will be processed next week and send immediately to the consulate after they gave it a number. So guess we are getting closer.
dbuizertMaleNetherlands2014-09-12 09:28:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMarch TSC
Cant even pay yet its setup by the consulate. But why would it go up. Its only for the interview we have to pay not the i-129f.
dbuizertMaleNetherlands2014-09-11 13:34:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMarch TSC
Same for the Netherlands. Its all done for you. You can only do the medical a short period before hand as well.

We got our case number!!!!!
 
:joy:

yay congrats. Now its the short few weeks.

Ill have my fiancee call today while im at work. I think I forgot to mention a digit. Or the women didnt even look it up...


dbuizertMaleNetherlands2014-09-09 00:29:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMarch TSC

 
Yeah, the lady tried to act surprised saying it usually takes 2 to 4 weeks before we're put in the system.
All you need is your USCIS number and information about you and your fiancee (Name, date of birth). The lady also asked me to confirm my fiancee's email and phone number and then gave me my case number after I asked.

yea apparently it takes two weeks. Even the timeline on here says that also. So ill wait another week. Im in no rush because I have everything already waiting the moment I get package 3 I can send it back haha.
dbuizertMaleNetherlands2014-09-08 15:37:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMarch TSC

Nevermind. They didnt have us on record yet. Which is odd. But oh well. She said it could take up to 5 weeks. That will be our luck. Dang it! 


dbuizertMaleNetherlands2014-09-08 14:26:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMarch TSC

They finally picked up and I got my case #. They said it hasn't been shipped for me yet.
Strangely the lady told me I couldn't use the CEAC website to track it but I think she was simply confused about what I was asking from her.
As of now the CEAC tracking website says that my search did not return any data, so I assume it just isn't in the system yet.


What info did you give them? I mean just a birthdate?

How long does it take to receive NOA2 Hardcopy???
After approval notification

give or take a workweek.

Anyone had their package shipped to their respective consulate for those who had the package sent to the NVC? I dont want to call since that line is pretty shitty.

Does anybody know how long it takes to send papers from TSC to NVC?

on average a week depending on the day you got the notification.

How long did it take for TSC to send it out to NVC? :) 

took us a week +1 day because of labor day.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMarch TSC

With some luck the package should be shipped to the consulate over here. If that is correct I will be moving before end of October! All I need to do know is speed up my graduation process so I have to work hard and turn the paper in earlier. Time to kick ### on that with my manager who wants to help. 

 

Long weekends of work incoming.

 

Enjoy your sundays everyone. Looking forward to more updates.

Apparently we pay online before the interview and print out the receipt. So that saves time. No worries about that I guess.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMarch TSC

 
You can call NVC in a couple of weeks and see if they can give you your case #.  For me it took 27 days before they had processed it and could give me my #, but for others it took less time.  Once you have the case # you can set up and pay for your embassy interview.



How do you pay? I mean do they give you a link or something? I think over here we pay at the interview. I will have to look into that.


dbuizertMaleNetherlands2014-09-06 03:39:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMarch TSC

I posted it in my own journey thread, but I had NVC verify today that my case was shipped to the consulate 9-2-2014.


The shipping to the consulate is real quick. So now i will wait till I get my packet 3 at some point. I already have every needed beside some extra passphotos and the medical stuff.

dbuizertMaleNetherlands2014-09-05 12:10:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMarch TSC
Like I said im not going to call unless it takes a month. I doubt that will be the case but if...

There is no point in calling every day. The updates happen through that website and thats enough for me.


dbuizertMaleNetherlands2014-09-05 09:48:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMarch TSC

Just thought I would share my first NVC experience. Waited on hold for 48 minutes, lady was extremely rude and barely wanted to talk to me (I called as soon as they opened) Was shipped to NVC on August 28th and she told me it takes 25 business days to arrive from USCIS and up to 30 business days of processing after it arrives. Where on earth are they shipping this too before it gets there? Around the world apparently. 


Its not true. Didnt it take like 2 weeks max for shipping and 3 days for processing? I read that somewhere. But if its shipped to the NVC there no point in calling. They will ship it to the consulate and that case number wont do you anything except maybe help when you call.

dbuizertMaleNetherlands2014-09-05 07:12:00

I tried calling. Person on the line didnt want to give me any info. She told me that my fiancee had to call. Dang it. She will probably be home late today. Damn it. I just want an email saying it has been shipped to the NVC. Lol that is all!
dbuizertMaleNetherlands2014-09-03 13:38:00

Can I call the NVC and see if it was shipped without getting a notification? Guess I need the SRC number right?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMarch TSC

 
I got NOA2 on the 19th, and notification on the 25th that it was shipped on the 22nd. I don't know why yours hasn't been shipped yet :( WHY CAN'T THEY GET A MOVE ON?? 
 
Btw I found the answer to my question in the January thread. Looks like it has happened to other people and I just need to be patient. You'd think I'd be used to waiting by now!!  :clock:




Our noa2 was 22nd. The email about that on the 25th. Physical it came the 27th or 28th.

Guess I could call when i come home.

Congratulations on all the recent approvals!!
 
I called NVC yesterday and they said they hadn't received my file (it was shipped on the 22nd). I called again this morning and she said they're working on it now and gave me my #LND number. I went to the CEAC website to check the status and it said 'your search did not return any data'. 
 
Is this normal? Did I copy the number wrong? Do I have to wait for a while before I can track it on the CEAC website? Please help!

 
So annoying! 







Did you get a notification of it being shipped to them? We havent received it yet...
