USCIS CSC: Approved I-129F (NOA2 dated April 25th) forwarded to NRC not NVC

[Mrs.Presson 16]

I posted this topic yesterday on the K1 forums: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/428943-missing-approved-i-129f-petition/

Much to my dismay, Chris got a call from NVC Night Manager tonight saying that our petition was shipped to NRC a.k.a. storage facility instead of NVC. (And USCIS claimed that it was sent to NVC!)

I imagine that if our case got shipped, there must be some other cases out there that got "accidentally" shipped to NRC too! Heads up to those who got approved and haven't gotten their Case Numbers yet. (Most of the people I know near our NOA2 date has obtained their case numbers already.)

Be pro-active. Check the whereabouts of your case. Call USCIS and NVC.

Thanks for the heads up.

I'm certain that this is what happened to my case. I already have cases open with NVC, USCIS and Congressperson.

NVC hasn't received my case yet, and I called USCIS and talked to a tier 2 and they told me all they can tell me is that it was approved and to give it 30 days for NVC to get it. They said they were unable to tell me whether it was shipped yet or not.

Try calling NVC and ask for a Manager. Explain the situation. They should have more information for you.

In our case, the one who helped us was Night Manager "Maria". She has really been helpful and was able to locate our case file. She just called Chris tonight and told him that they've already received our Case from NRC and will be assigning us a Case Number soon.

Hi Chris,

My file also got sent to NRC instead of NVC. I got my NOA2 on March 27th, 2013. I called NVC, USCIS and got the congresswoman involved. Nothing seems to have helped. The file still must be sitting at NRC. Could you please tell me how I can get this moving? Right now, I feel very helpless. Who is Maria? And how can I contact her? I hope to hear from you soon!

Hi Emma,

It's actually Erika. I'm usually the one posting here on VJ. Maria is the NVC Call Center Night Manager. She will be able to help you out. When you call NVC at about 7-8pm EST, ask if you could be transferred to Maria the Night Manager. Hope this helps!

Was NVC able to retrieve the petition from NRC?

Hi MGAF!

Surprisingly, no! The last time we called them was on Friday and we called them twice. We spoke to the supervisor. She said they have nothing for us. My hubby is going to call them again tonight. I will leave a post on here if we hear any good news. But right now, we are just hoping for the best

OMG, OMG, OMG I just gave NVC a call after replying to your post. They said they received our case today... yayyyy!! But they will take 10-20 business days to put it in their system, which is a bummer. I am still happy that they found it. It took exactly 2 months for NVC to get our file; I would have had my interview by now if this delay wouldn't have occurred. But everything happens for the best. Maybe this was meant to happen. I hope they don't delay this process any further now :|

All the best. My petition (NOA2 dated April 23rd) was also accidentally forwarded to NRC. I have been calling all the offices all the time but no one knows how it can be transferred from NRC to NVC. I have been told it should appear in NRC's system before anything could be done.

That's great news!! So calling NVC and talking to night manager Maria did help?

I actually never got the hold of Maria. But my hubby is planning on calling them tonight to expedite the process. We called a night supervisor last week and she said that they will avoid 10-20 business days wait once they receive the case, in order to make up for the days it was lost. I am not so sure if it was Maria, but she wasn't that much of a help. If it is sent to NRC, there is nothing anybody could do from my experience. But continue to call NVC and USCIS daily. Get the congressperson involved too. I don't know if calling them and getting the congresswoman really helped me, but 2 months is the maximum wait for the cases that get sent to NRC mistakenly.

I'm sorry it cost you 2 months, but I'm really glad they found your case! Here's to hoping everything will go smoothly after this!

I really cannot understand why people at USCIS "accidentally" send out approved petitions to NRC. They clearly are unorganized and this inefficiency is costing us valuable time and a whole lotta stress. I've read (at least on these forums) that there have been quite a number of cases like mine that were sent to NRC.

I'm sorry that this happened to you too, but do everything you can till you get a hold of your case. Like what emma1990 said, call your representative. Call USCIS and NVC. Email NVCResearch. Exhaust all possibilities.

Hang in there!
