NOA 2 Approved - NVC Still Does Not Have Any Record

[Simon&Miriam 0]

Okay so NOA-2 gets approved on March 18th, I read the letter over and over and decided to call and ask about what happens next, first person leaves me very confused, second time I call I get a good person who knows a lot more and in between all that stuff they read to you like its off some teletype machine you get somewhere.

She tells me to call 603-334-0700, so I call and punch in my Receipt number and they state they have no record of it, so how come it takes over 2 weeks to transfer from Vermont to New Hampshire??

As far as what happens after they get it, I am totally clueless and I got tired just trying to find out about the next step, I know that she will need a Medical and an Interview in some god forsaken place on the Border where drug gangs routinely slaughter people including the Police Chief who recently wandered accross the USA border and asked for Polit ical Asylum, talk about an ordeal, anybody know where I am coming from on this?

Cheers

The K1s dont go on the automated list, you need to speak to a person and they will advise you if they have recieved the petition.

I had the same problem. NVC never did show receipt of the approval. But the packet showed up at our address in SA about 7 weeks after the approval. Frustrating for sure...

But, did you get anything from the NVC at your address in the US? And, when you called the NVC, did you use the automated system, or did you talk to some one?

This will help some of us know where to trust and where not to trust, if that makes sense to any one.

Reguarly, it takes up to 1 month from the petition to go from USCS to NVC, so 22 days is still a normal time frame.

Do what Sal and Jay advised you to do. Your K-1 is not registered on the automated response system, that is why you need to talk to a person and ask about your petition. They will let you know if its already there and the new case number for the Embassy.

Hang in there, I know its frustrating but I'm sure you'll receive good news soon!

I just called the NVC and pressed 1, 5 to speak to the reperesentative, she notified me my case was arrived yesterday and it will be snet to consulate with in 10-15 days.

10-15 days is even long! It is usually at the NVC for a short time. Congrats!

If you look over recent threads (the last year anyway) you will see that it's taken CSC months to move the petitions to NVC in some cases. Very recently someone posted that has been waiting 2 months for that process alone... guess his petition was one of the first on the pallet! Sad but true. A few months back (when things were really crazy) someone posted that they were told CSC waits until a pallet of new approvals is filled up before sending it off to NVC. I'm with VSC but this still is so frustrating to me for you folks who are already made to wait longer.

Congrats...that's great news! This may help you....

Track your file from NVC to USEM.

You need to speak to someone pat NVC. Like someone said press 1, 5. K1s are not entered into the automated system.

Your approved petition is probably sitting at the consulate.

Mine took just a few weeks so maybe it will be soon. Keep your chin up!

I have tried calling the NVC 3 times now and I emailed them, if the lines are busy they just send you back to the main menu again and advise to call after 6pm, I emailed them this morning so I will wait for a response, I agree its kind of tough to go through the application process and feel a level of excitement after getting the NOA 2, only to wait for this stage, the other thing that bothered me is that on the NOA 2 it has an application time of 3 months, I am not sure what that means? I hope its not some kind of deadline.

Im not sure what time zone they are on but I used to call them when they open at 7.30 am and always managed to speak to a person, maybe you could try that hon.

I end up calling after 11pm EST, normally takes 5 or 6 tries to get to an operator. You just need persistence. Don't give up so easily.
