Meanwhile, heres what going on with us. Bhushan submitted his Packet 3 on Feb 4th and received Packet 4 in less than a week. But the interview is on April 14th! It takes almost 2 and months at the Mumbai Embassy. Thankfully and surprisingly, I havent been too stressed out lately, its all going smooth after the NOA2...well so far. Keeping fingers crossed for a smoother interview and POE.

I thought I could make you all laugh for a moment...

I called NVC to see if the package was sent to Syria yet - made the call on the 18th, I had rcv'd the letter from NVC and been told by my Congressman's office that it would be sent out that week - so I get this real ditzy woman on the phone who tells me that it was sent electronically that day but hadn't been sent physically yet and that the embassy wouldn't schedule the appointment until they had it in hand physically.

Nicole: So how long will it take for them to get the papers in Syria?

Dumb A$$ NVC Rep: Oh About 8-10 WEEKS!

Nicole: Excuse me??

DA NVC Rep: Yes 8-10 Weeks

Nicole: Ummm Why so long?

DA NVC Rep: Well it has to get through customs....

I couldn't say anything other than thanks for your help and i hung up!

Meanwhile the papers I sent ( and I am not a gov't agency) on Monday got to him on Sunday easily making it through customs!

#######! All i can do is laugh!! whistling.gif



HAHAHA~ that sounds like someone who knows nothing about customs or what NVC does! Thats hilarious that they would give you such a stupid reason for why it was taking so long! Heck a human could probably get through customs in that amount of time!

Totally me too! I was happy since I was taking care of all the little things obsessing over signatures and a thick petition packet. Now that he has to take care of everything, I can't stop asking questions and obsessing over what papers are needed and what are not, when he is gonna get this done and that done. He finally said, "if it makes you happy, you go ahead and fill out the Packet 3 and have it sent here." Sigh.

http://mumbai.uscons...for_K1_visa.pdf

Thats the link to the Packet-3 checklist sent by the embassy in Mumbai, India. It asks for photographs. I also checked out the DS-156 form online and the instructions ask for two passport sized photographs. In addition, I think you need to have one more photograph for the interview. I need to confirm that bit though.

oh doh! I didn't realise the beneficiary couldn't call and obtain info on an application. I called to ask about the 'received date' since I got worried that even though the NOA1 says 7-27-07, case status online says "On September 26, 2007, we received this I129F PETITION" and I'm thinking maybe they *have* placed me in the late September boxes. I spoke to a *really* sweet woman too and am sure she would have given me info if she could. huh.gif


Our online status said the same thing that they received the application on October 16th which was the date on the NOA2 but that was different from our received date. Thats weird they dont let the beneficiary ask questions. I really hope you get yours this week! Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you.


I have been away for a while. Bhushan and I got into this huge fight the day after our approval and did not talk for a week (that has never happened before!) and then finally realized all the trivial things matter little and that theres only a little more while before we can be together again. We will pick up on our fight again when he gets here wink.gif

I received a notice from NVC two days ago with our NVC case number and that they were forwarding it to the Mumbai Consulate in a week! Didnt know that happened so quick. kicking.gif I was pleasantly surprised!

QUOTE (babblesgirl @ Jan 8 2008, 12:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
CBR - I know exactly what you mean about feeling sidelined by USCIS and it can be bittersweet seeing approvals. It's awful because you feel happy for everyone but envious and anxious at the same time. I was talking to my (future) sister-in-law last night about progress on July petitions in an attempt to explain how close we should be in terms of obtaining the actual visa. I explained that some people are still waiting approval at the first stage and tried to work out a possible interview date for me if we got approved this week. This entailed doing some comparisons - and then it dawned on me that there are people literally days away from getting the visa in hand who only submitted a week before us! There are also people who submitted weeks before me who are still waiting on NOA2.

Don't get me wrong, this isn't me complaining about people getting theirs now, this is me wondering why the hell USCIS is actually not processing petitions in received order like they claim to be.

A few years ago I worked for the NHS allocating actual costs for drugs prescribed - you know, making sure the chemist gets £90.00 for that box of 21 proprietary tablets your doc gave you rather than the £6 or so you paid for it. They had 6 or 7 branches around the country but every branch finished a particular months batches on the same date and did not start the next month until all batches were finished for the previous month. This sometimes entailed sending excess batches to another branch by courier. But, everyone finished to deadline so chemists would get their payment on time. If we were behind they offered overtime until deadlines could be met. Now I realise it takes longer to approve a petition than it does a single prescription, but when you consider the volume of prescriptions given out daily I think it's not difficult to see how a similar system could be used to success with immigration petitions. Why should someone who filed a week before someone else end up being effectively 2-3 months ahead? And we know that later filers will get ahead too. If say, VSC, has finished approving July filers (save the RFE's) then why not offload CSC before starting on August?

I'm really not having a go at those of you who have your NOA2s, interviews, visas in the bag - you know, I would be absolutely thrilled right now if I was in the same position and I am genuinely pleased for you. I am frustrated by the apparent unfairness of the system and understand why people feel bitter/upset and disappear from the forums.

I vented. I feel better.

Wow I almost missed your approval! I am SO pleased for you. You had such a rough time over your petition too. Congratulations! luv.gif

Thanks so much everyone. Getting the NOA2 compares to nothing else.

cjindia - thanks thats very encouraging to know that VSC to NVC to India would not be that long!


Babblesgirl, CBR - I know exactly what you guys are feeling. Was going through the same bittersweetness before the NOA2. Its made me very upset at USCIS when they approve September and October filers when theres still quite a few June, July, and August filers still waiting. I was so happy for everyone who got their NOA2s but wished they would do it in the right order! I DO sincerely hope you get your NOA2s soon. Seems like CSC needs to catch up and be as fast as VSC has been.

I hardly slept at all!!! Griff rang at 4:30 US time to tell me he'd been approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First they collected his paperwork, where they remarked about how organized he was! Sat back down for 2 mins, then they called his name first. Said the guy asked him exactly 3 questions, as follows:
  1. Where did you meet?
  2. Do you remember when that was?
  3. Why will you live in the US as opposed to the UK?
The guy said, "I see your medical is this aftertoon, so once we have those results your passport and visa will arrive a few days later. Have a good day."

Griff said he walked out euphoric, but slightly disappointed that they didn't want to see any of the evidence of our ongoing relationship!!!! Said the onlu person who got a look at any of our photos was the fight attendant from BA he waited in line with outside the embassy who was there to collect her visa! laughing.gif

Its good to hear everyone's wedding plans!!! My parents want us to have a legal wedding here and then go to India to have the traditional ceremony which mean a few hundred will be invited. And I would personally prefer a small wedding with just close family and friends. Like the one you will have Deb :-)

I seriously want my NOA2 too. This is getting ridiculous. We got another touch 12/31 (new years eve, weird) and still nothing. After all these touches I thought for sure by now there'd be an RFE or an approval. It's making me crazy!


My RFE notice was not updated on the website. They still have not updated it. I just received it in the mail. There were several other VJ members who were also approved without any change on the website (received their NOA2 in the mail only) so hopefully good news is on it way soon. hang in there and watch your mail.

My Goodness!!!

My fiance received a letter from the NVC stating that they have our papers. The letter contains our petition approved and that they already gave us our manila case number and informing us that within a week, it will be forwarded to the USEM in Manila Philippines!

Wake me up if this is a dream!!!!! We never had our NOA2! No email nor any updates or change in the USCIS site....thats why I was so brokenhearted these past few weeks. We were so worried about receiving RFE. The delay drove us crazy.

But our papers are in the NVC! Woohoo!!! kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif



Wow that must be some excitement! Awesome. kicking.gif kicking.gif
