USCIS TO NVC

[christeen 966]

It's been 2 months already and mine hasn't been received at NVC yet despite multiple calls to USCIS and their assurance they'll do it.

Their official line is that it might take up to 90 days to send an approved petition to NVC.

90 days? Are they out of their mind? I hope they aren't actually walking the files from CSC to New Hamshire (NVC)..Hope they know there are FEDEX and UPS options out there..

At the moment there has been a HUGE number of USCIS approvals and NVC seems to be backed up from it. Since you do not have a timeline we are all left to guess when you filed your application... However, based on recent approvals, it has taken about 14-20 days on average for issue of NVC# then an additional 7-10 days for them to generate the 3032... Add another 2 weeks for acceptance of the 3032 and I think you get the idea... You might use this time to make sure you have everything ready to go the moment it is asked for....

However, I can tell that you are already VERY agitated with the process thus far, I fear that you will have a long and anxious road ahead of you based on your stress level... This is a very difficult process and patience is a premium. There is nothing you can do at the moment to make things go faster and the more upset you let it get you, the more difficult the journey...

There are currently thousands of recent approvals from USCIS after a long lull.... NVC is processing but I am certain it will be MUCH slower than you are expecting. Just keep in mind that this journey is difficult and I wish you the best...

Yea..Its already been a long journey. I hope that is not the case. I have seen people get thru NVC within a month. But per what you are saying it sounds like it will take close to month just to get the case into the system . Thanks for the info. Does it help, or do you think its faster, if I elect to go K3 route as it was appoved the same as 130?

I got through in a month, but that was before the big rush of USCIS approvals... Now it is DEFINETLY slower... If you have everything ready and send on the day they ask, I suppose that you might squeak by in 45 days... with no RFE's, AP and some good luck with 3032 processing time (sned e-mail and hard copy). But the key is to have EVERYTHING signed and read to go with all the PCC's, Marriage and other original documents... No having to mail back and forth from India... Have they ready to go now and memorize the shortcuts!!!

As far as the K3 That I cannot answer as I only cared about the CR/IR1, but from everything I have read, it is about the same amount of time for both and since they are approved now at the same time, I dont expect that you would save much time or be reunited any sooner... Plus the cost and hassle of AOS seems crazy to save just a week or two of wait time?? Other K3 people might have more insight... But I know that the IR/CR is the way to go....

Just dont git ur drawers in a wad now over how long its takin or ur really gonna be grey haired by the end!!! (not to mention on some Blood pressure meds).... Just realx and go with it and have everything ready to go

LOL...I was in a hurry too after we got approved at the USCIS, and after 5 days our file still haven't got at the NVC, when I checked Google Earth, I saw how far is California to the NVC office, so I just wait for another days, perhaps the delay would be on the carrier side.

ours was approved on 24th sept too, but still no case# yet.. it would help to have all operators entering our files to NVC system....

are there anyone else here who has to wait more than a month for NVC?

Its been a week since my approved 130 was sent to NVC. It's not yet in NVC's system, neither AVR nor talking to Rep..What is going on?

Hi,

Whats your timeline? Did you just apply for CR1 or also K3?

I had filed 129 as well which was also approved in the same day as 130. 129 has not made it to NVC either..

Don't worry. I know it's hard but be patient. Our I-130 arrived at NVC before our I-129F. USCIS just informed me that on 10-6-09 our I-129F was approved and forwarded to NVC. When I called the NVC 4 days ago they told me I will be sent the bill and my husband the DS-3032 and to date we have received nothing. I keep checking both our emails and mailboxes and nothing. I am giving them a few more days and I will be following up with them.

My suggestion is to keep calling the NVC and try to get a status. Hang in there...
