Letter from the NVC

[Grahm&Sarah 0]

Ok confused again. My NOA2 says the NVC will send me a letter when they have forwarded the petition to the embassy. But people on VJ have said they got a letter from the NVC just saying NVC received their petition from the USCIS. which is it? Can some people who have gotten their petition forwarded from NVC to embassy please chime in on this one? What exactly am I expecting in the mail from the NVC and approximate waiting dates??

Thanks

former not the latter.... other reports may be the result of e-mails or phone calls but not a letter

The NVC letter should also give you the embassy case number.

We just received our NVC letter a few weeks ago. The NVC letter is only to tell you that they have received your file and that they will be forwarding it to the appropriate Consular offices within a week or so. It will include your INS number (receipt number from your NOA1), your case number, and the address where your case will be processed (Consulate/Embassy). As far as waiting times, I can't say for sure when you'll get it because I think it depends on the Service Center you went through. If you went through Vermont, you should probably receive your NVC letter about a week to a week and a half after receiving your NOA2. I have read some posts about the California service center where people say they have already been waiting over 30 days for NVC to receive their file with no luck. So....I suppose it just depends.

The site they supply you with is www.travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_4323.html "to determine if the processing post has any information of which you should be immediately aware" Scroll down the list given to find your Consulate and see if there's any extra info you should be aware of Hope that helps!

Best of luck!!!

Yes, the embassy case number is what I referred to as the case number.

I called NVC twice; once to check that the petition arrived and once again to check that it had been sent to the embassy. They asked me to confirm my email and telephone number, which were correct. I never received a notice; no letter in the mail, no email, nothing. I guess since I called, they didn't feel it was necessasry.
