We called today NVC and they haven't received our petition Having in mind Sau's post, maybe our is at CSC too.

removing post, wrong thread, sorry

Anybody live near CSC who can offer to go in there for all of us and pay the postage to have our files sent to NVC? I'm sure everyone here would pitch in a few bucks

i am 4 hrs away...... i would gladly pay to post your letters...if those idiots let me.

That's awesome, Neel!!! I'll call CSC on Tuesday and tell them that there's a bunch of us from an online group who have a representative who would be willing to come in, attach postage to all our files sitting in the mail room, and run them down to the post office!!! You would think they would either be inclined to say yes, or a better guess would be that (assuming they possess the tiniest bit of common sense) they would get the hint. I mean, it can't take more than an hour or so from one person each week to add postage to everything, run it to the post office, then return back to their wonderful office. This would probably save them hundreds of hours spent on answering the "why the hell hasn't NVC received my paperwork" phone calls every month. Neel, I am really greatful for the offer. And I'm sure lots of other VJer's in this thread are too (especially knowing that NVC has already received your paperwork). But we can't ask you to make that trip. However, I am planning on calling them on Tuesday and making the offer just to get a point across to their lazy government-worker a$$e$. For God's sake, up until August, it always took between 5 and 14 days for NVC to receive the paperwork after the NOA2...and now it takes 4 weeks or more???? Kiss my a$$ CSC!!!

I'm anxious to hear their response If they're going to make us wait, we may as well at least get some entertainment value out of calling out their ineffectiveness and laziness and hear their response.

FK THEM ALL IN CSC...............MFKERS................LAZY ASSSSSSSSSSSSSS ................ITS BEEN ALMOST THREE WEEKS FOR ME.............MONDAY WILL BE THREE WEEKS AND ITS STILL NO THERE IN NVC................AND SOME FKERS IN USCIS CALIFORNIA TOLD ME THAT ITS STILL THERE WHEN I CALLED THEM ON FRIDAY.................WHATS THE USE OF KEEPING THEM ONCE ITS APPROVED..................MFKERS.......................I AM DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN WITH THOSE FKERS

Our petition is at CSC too. Before a week we called them and somebody said that it was sent to NVC. The last was not true . My husband called this Friday and they said that it is still at CSC. They wait to pile up sufficient number (10 000 or 15 000) of applications and after that sent them to NVC with a truck. This process drives me crazy

My parents called Friday saying we had a letter from NVC...........they have our petition.

We just recently received our NOA 2 for I-130 and I-129F, and my wife has already received a package from US Embassy for K3 on 8/27. My questions are:

1) My wife is currently in US with me on VISA waiver, is it necessary to go back to her country and begin the K-3 process right away? Will it expire?

2) My I-130 and K3 were approved at the same time. From my understanding, CR-1 / IR-1 would save a lot of trouble compare to K3. Shall we expect the package for I-130 from US Embassy any time soon? or we need to cancel the K-3?

Thanks in advance if anyone can help us with these questions. People are so friendly here =)

As a footnote to this story, CSC's productivity was not included. Sources say that if their productivity was factored in to the overall US numbers, that the US would be in the bottom one-third of the world.

Too funny! (Bad sadly, completely accurate!!!) Thanks for the laughs!

just wanna wish all my march friends a transfer to NVC this week. good luck.

hello

thank you neel06

LETS HOPE THIS WILL BE OUR WEEK....................LETS PRAY ALL ........................FOUR WORKING DAYS STILL LEFT IN THIS WEEK....................

neel 06

how do you find out that your case has left the NVC? is there any way........... did they send you a mail or something like that...............

looks like your case was there on NVC for just one day..........................damnnnnnnnnnnnnnn they are quick..............

did you found out about your case reaching the US embassy back in ur country.........

any help will be greatly appreciated

Congratulations, sau! Best of luck on the rest of your journey!!!

I couldn't take it any more! We've been calling the NVC every day for 3 weeks checking to see if they received our I-130 yet and getting the same "have not received message". Also, I have still not received my NOA2 from either I-129F or I-130 even though CRIS showed they were both approved on Aug. 8. So today I broke down and called CSC using the RFE trick again. I found out that our I-130 had gone to the NBC and our I-129F had gone to the NVC on Aug. 30. (This shouldn't have been the case by the way. See this post for more info: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=86217 ) I also called the NVC to confirm this and the operator there told me that our I-129F is now on its way to the US Embassy in Kyiv, Ukraine! So it looks like we will be making a K3 visa instead of a CR-1 and hopefully my wife will be here in less than 2 months if all goes well!

Best of luck everyone!

NVC person told me that they have forwarded my case.. i called them a day after they received my file. I am hoping my case is at the US embassy in India but there was a 4 day weekend in India...so i am gonna email the embassy today.

Hi LvivLovers,
Very interesting. So USCIS (CSC) ignored your attempt to clearly indicate you want consular processing for your I130. I can't say that I am surprised, but your experience will be valuable to others hoping to try the same thing (keep both the CR-1 and K3 options open).

Congrats on the getting your I129F forward to Kyiv!

Yes. I sort of expected them to just ignore it right from the beginning. But I figured it was worth a try so we could have 2 horses in the race so to speak. The woman I talked to at CSC was actually an adjudicator and it was sad because I could tell she didn't understand the process nearly as good as we do on VJ. She completely couldn't understand the concept of having both the I-129F and I-130 active at the same time and just kept saying that would be too confusing. haha Oh well. It was to be expected, I guess! Good thing is I'll see my wife soon!!!!

Thanks again, and best of luck on your journey!

Ha! That's entertaining. We know more than the "pros" know.

hello

did anybody hear anything from NVC?

best of luck to you all

I called NVC a few hours ago and they still hadn't received my paperwork. It sounds like 3-4 weeks is pretty much par for the course these days. I guess I should probably wait another week to call NVC. I'm assuming CSC won't pull off any miracles and get it there sooner. Oh well.

I called NVC today as well... they have not received my paperwork either

They haven't received mine either. Mine was approved and sent to NVC on August 18th.

Our is not at NVC yet Why USCIS cause such troubles to us

Nope have not heard a thing. It has been 2 weeks since we were approved so I am assuming we have approx. 2 more weeks.

I think the inmates are running the asylum known as CSC. Does anybody working out there have anyone to answer to?

wowwwwwwwwww i cant believe this.......................nvs is so fast..............damn...........may be i am not used to it or something.................wowwwwwwwwwwwww my case has been forward to us embassy back in my country............wowwwwwwwww...............i still cant belive that its been so quick.....................can somebody pinch me..........may be i am in the dream or something...........


any way finally its rolling

best of luck for all of those who are waiting

thank for all the support and help during the journey

Thats awesome sau... I am very happy for you I wish I was in the same boat as you. My cases got approved a day after yours, but mine still isn't at NVC yet Damn USCIS

Congrats!

i called nvc as well...my case isn't there yet....(sigh)

Just an FYI...if you had both your I-130 and I-129F approved around the same time, chances are, only your I-129F will be sent to the NVC, so make sure you talk to an operator and ask them about your I-129F. Just checking for your I-130 through the automated phone system won't help if they only transfer your I-129F in other words!

hello livilovers

can you update your time line plzzzzzz...........

will help others those who are waiting

nvc received and left

Done! I updated it in my signature and totally forgot about the timeline. I don't think I even looked at timelines at all since our forms were approved! haha

livilovers

now you case is approved does not mean you are done man.............dont forget there are lots of people waiting like us.................

remember there are lots of other people waiting and estimating their case will be processed by so and so date based on the vj time line............

we should remember those days when we used to get mad when people doesnot used to update their time line when there petition were approved man................

thats all i have to say............i am be wrong ...............

any way thx for updating the time line

Oh, I know. I just forgot!

Hi, I just wanted to mention that how long it takes CSC to send cases to NVC depends on when you were approved and when they last sent the truck. Your petitions go to NVC by truck and they do this once a month. So if they last sent the truck on Aug 14th and your petition was approved Aug 18th, then you would have to wait until the next time they send it. Then youhave to wait for NVC to do their thing with it and assign a case no. The nice thing though is that most 129F after getting case no. are sent to consulate overnight by email. At least this is what I know from my experience. Best of luck to you all.

not through email ..........nvc sent through DHL...............thats what lady told me when i called

They do both. Send electronic version first, then paper is shipped.
