Full Version: February Filers Goin To NVC
CONGRATULATIONS to all who are now among the NVC!
The beauty of the NVC is that we don't stay there very long! I hope we all can remain in touch and watch each other's progress. It will be fun.
I got an SNJ number. I hope that is correct for San Jose, Costa Rica. I guess I'll do a little research...

I hope for that, too!
Update - I received a reply to my e-mail I sent to the consulate on Friday morning. I'm being anally pro-active, so I contacted the consulate via e-mail to let them know my petition was on the way there per NVC, and could they inform me as to what the next steps were so to speak.
This morning, I get a reply that they have not received my packet yet, but were "electronically" notified that it was on the way. They said that w/ this notification they can now sent out Packet 3 to my fiance. For me, the USC, they said I must provide them w/ the I134 and employment(salary) OR tax return information. I find it funny that the phrasing was either/or. I'm not taking any chances and I'm including both: employment letter (along w/ last few paycheck stubs) and tax returns for the past two years.
The funny thing was....my e-mail to the consulate was in both languages. I wrote what I had to say first in English and then Hungarian. The reply, however was in Hungarian only!
No matter, I just wanted it 'on record' so to speak that I am quite fluent in Hungarian, should they question the communication issue between my fiance and I....as he speaks very little English. 
So now we're waiting for packet 3 to be sent, hopefully quickly!
Cheers everyone that has made it to and past NVC and to their respective consulates. Let's go Feb filers, keep chugging along!

Grrr NVC keeps hanging up on me. I KNOW it's only been 6 days. I can't stop myself. ALSO I want to ask them if I can go ahead and change Dan's address in the UK with them to prevent the wrong (old) one from going to the Embassy. London is sending out packet 3 before they even receive the petition lately. Don't want them sending it to the wrong place. Still holding on to the shred of hope for that August wedding. 
So...if anyone is curious about the NVC/Embassy transit, I found this posted on one of the regional forums. Thought it could be useful.
EDIT: Several people are reporting that this doesn't work. So - may or may not??

I wrote the exact instructions once and here they are:
First you need to get the "NOA2" - the Notice of Approval of your I-129F application. After getting the NOA2, you can contact the NVC about your case.
NVC Info (to find out when your case arrives/leaves there and to get NVC Case number):
Call (603) 334-0700 - press "1" for English then "5" to speak to a rep on the phone. Be ready with your USCIS case number (it's on the NOA2), beneficiary name and birthdate. K1 visas are NOT entered into the automatic system, so you have to speak personally with a rep. Reps are available 7:30 AM - 12 midnight Eastern time. Call right after they open or right before they close for best results - during the day lines are always busy. They do answer emails but sometimes it takes them 2-3 days to reply! When you get the NVC on the phone, ask them if your case has arrived and if it has, ask for the case number and write it down. Also ask them when it left for the Consulate.
Immediately after getting the NOA2 I kept calling the NVC until they got the case (it took USCIS about 2 weeks after NOA2 to send the NVC my case) and I kept calling daily until they told me when it was mailed to the Consulate.
After the case is mailed to the Consulate, you can track when it arrives.
Tracking your file via DHL from NVC to Embassy:
1. Go to http://www.dhl-usa.com/home/home.asp
2. Click on "Track"
3. Click on "Track by Reference"
4. A "Track it by reference" form will come up. Next to "Reference" type in "CORRESPONDENCE"
5. In the "Shipment pickup date range" put in the date the NVC said they mailed off your package.
6. In the box "Origin Postal Code" type in "03801"
7. Press on the red "Track" button
8. Several pages of results will come up. Look through the "Receiver's Name" for your Embassy. There might be several packages going to your embassy - but you won't know which one is yours. Anyway, most sent on the same day will arrive the same day. Press on the red "Tracking number" of any package going to your Embassy and up will come a page showing where it is now. You can also sign up for notification by email when it is delivered.
After your case arrives at the Consulate, after a few days if you have not received Packet 3, you can start calling up the Consulate or emailing them, saying your case has arrived, give the NVC case number and ask when Packet 3 will be mailed!

Well I finally called NVC today for the first time, and it turns out they got our case on June 4. I only had to wait about 5 minutes to talk to an operator, I guess I got very lucky...It's still there, but hopefully it will go to Moscow in a few days Thanks for the info about tracking the case to the consulate, I will give it a try...

Just checking in, I have been doing some training with the Army...this process is moving fast, I have already received and interview date...
Dang, hmm1.....that sure is fast ! As far as I know, my case is still at NVC. From my understanding, they send them out in batches, so maybe not too many going to Cairo?? I will call later or Monday and inquire.

Congrats!
I'm still trying to figure out the USE site in Manila...
It almost looks like we have to request the date ourselves....and pay a fee to do so!
I called just now, our case is still at NVC on security checks.
We have to do the medical before we can return packet 3. But once we do, it should take about a week until the interview.
I just called yet again....I was told we are ' marked ' randomly for AR. Our case should go to DC in about 10 days, and stay there for who knows how long. We are in the pit, guys.

Keep your chin up and your fake smile on the face
You suspected there may be some problems, just keep the faith! You will get this visa this time! I'll be praying for that.
Nothing like waiting forever to get the lousy approval, making it to NVC only to be slapped in the face with the black hole.
Thanks Neal andCari. Just pray for us.

God Bless you, Ken !
My SO lives a few miles from the consulate in San Jose, Costa Rica. We stopped by to see if they received our papers from the NVC. We ended up speaking with the officer that received our case and she gave us packet 3 while we were there. They just recieved the papers today, and we have packet 3 today.
We ran to the office complex and they did her bloodwork and x-ray. She will complete all the requriements and we will possibly have the interview in 2 more weeks!!!!
Who knows, we may even pass off hmm1 (that crazy speed demon)!

Has anyone had this problem: I called NVC and got my case number, but now every time I enter it on the automatic system it says that there is no record of my case? I was trying it yesterday, and the day before. I am just trying to avoid having to wait every time for an operator to find out if my case has been sent to the consulate yet. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, and good luck to everyone! Glad to see everyone getting their packets already!

I decided to start this topic so february filers can track progress of other february filers with the NVC status. I was approved on May 9, but i'm sure it hasn't been sent yet. I hear your supposed to wait 2 weeks before U call. Anyone else hear anything???
A new topic and some familiar names, along with some new ones!
I guess I need to read up on the NVC process, as well as the medical and interview phases....
All this before I get the "Official" NOA2 notice from CSC
I did get a touch on May 10 and a second one on May 11, since the folks at CSC said that we were approved as of May 10, my guess is that the touch on May 11 was to scan it out for transit to the NVC...but I honestly don't know
I didn't use a lawyer, but I did use a service to insure that all the paperwork was filled out correctly. For me it bought me peace of mind, mostly because I knew they had filled out 1000's of these before mine (there is no substitute for experience IMO)
Hi!! there....I'm approved may 16 from NVC but til now i have not receive any notice from the us embassy. i would ask, have you received your noticed?
jean
Approved May 11th, still no hard copy NOA-2, no E Mail saying we are approved, either. Case is with NVC as of May 21st, and now it will soon be on it's way to DC for A/R.
Yes NVC did send me a letter dated May 24th saying it will go to the Embassy within a week, but what a flat out farce that is considering they changed their minds and wanna do this so-called random check thing.

Our packet was forwarded to the Embassy on May 29...so hopefully it is there by now. Then all I have to do is find out how get them to process it

When we succeed we will know that we can survive anything!

We have hard copy of NOA2, 2 actually, I wish I could give you one! No e-mail from NVC, except in reply to one I sent to them asking if our cased was received. BUT that e-mail was from Friday, the same day that I called! And it didn't mention ANYTHING about A/R though on the phone she said it was being sent to D.C. I will be calling tomorrow to see if we are really in A/R and why we are going to D.C. I am so confused right now!

Hey Good to know you've got the interview date already !. Did you send back Packet 3 after the medical, or prior to it ?. It sucks that the embassy here requires me to do the medical first then I could send back Packet 3.

My SO lives a few miles from the consulate in San Jose, Costa Rica. We stopped by to see if they received our papers from the NVC. We ended up speaking with the officer that received our case and she gave us packet 3 while we were there. They just recieved the papers today, and we have packet 3 today.
We ran to the office complex and they did her bloodwork and x-ray. She will complete all the requriements and we will possibly have the interview in 2 more weeks!!!!
Who knows, we may even pass off hmm1 (that crazy speed demon)!

Sounds like you're moving right along, too, ken! Congrats to you! You still in Costa Rica?
Awwww, Thanks D&T. Milenka is in it, too.
Things happen for a reason and I know our journey has not been easy, and at times downright painful, but yes, we will get through it and move on up that mountain. It's just those dang boulders that keep slowing us down , but eventually they will get moved, God willing.

Ahh dang! For sure then for Milenka? Geez, seems so unfair that those of us trying to do things the right way have so much difficulty. You guys are in my prayers.
We're still just waiting for NVC to get ours. Guess they send it via Pony Express.
According to her posts, she is certain her petition is being sent to DC, or was sent to DC. Indeed, we can all use as many prayers as possible.
Could it be possible your petition is already at the Embassy, D&T ?

Nagi is right, we do need as many prayers as possible, so THANKS! On Friday I was told that they will be sending it to DC, but I am calling today to "see" if I can learn anything else from them...Trying to stay positive...Glad to see other people moving on safely through NVC and onward...

Well - I've been calling NVC and they don't have record of our case, so guess not??

Nothing like waiting forever to get the lousy approval, making it to NVC only to be slapped in the face with the black hole.
Thanks Neal andCari. Just pray for us.

Nags...i got your back with prayer too...
Thank you, hmm1! Just when you and Ken thought you were done praying for me, along comes the senseless NVC bs.
Good news, though. Today I FINALLY got the NOA-2 hard copy, snail mail.
Praise God despite it all !

And you know this...we got your back...well, the NOA-2 saves about $200 of your hard earned dollars.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Please include our Milenka to your prayer list, as she is in Security checks, also! 
I got your backs, too

NVC got our case today. When I called the lady she said she couldn't change Dan's address in the system because someone was working on it now. Also said that I can try tomorrow, may or may not still be there - generally there "less then 48 hours."
Relieved to be out of CSC hell.

Nags and Milenka: you are both in my prayers for a super speedy AR!
I too am out of CSC! My case has been sent to Kingston today!
