Following up with the National Visa Center (NVC)

[Nik.R.Sanderson 1]

Hello VJ-ers!

I want to send out an inquiry to the NVC to follow up with them to see if they have received my NOA2 and if I can obtain my case number so that I may follow up with the Manila consulate when necessary.

I went to the NVC site, and it states to send and inquiry you have to put your case number. To my knowledge, I don't have a case number.

Advice anybody?

Samples?

Have you tried calling NVC and using your USCIS case number to get your NVC case number?

Good luck

According to your timeline, you got your NOA2 almost a month ago. I would say Manila has had it for some time. The NVC had our package 5 days after we got the approval e-mail and the consulate got it about 5 days after that.

We got our NVC letter approximately 1 month after the approval e-mail.

You can call the NVC and ask them what your case number is...you will need your NOA1 receipt number.

Hours: Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 12:00 PM (EST). Best time to call is 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM and 10:00 PM to 12:00 PM

Use your USCIS receipt# the one you have in your NOA1..put it in the subject line, email NVCInquiry@state.gov...put the petitioners name and date of birth and the beneficiary name and date of birth in the message line

Per our conversation yesterday I had No MNL#. So I called this morning the NVC. I did'nt have to wait long on the phone. As I stated yesterday, the operator asked if I was the Petitioner. (I'm still wary of them giving information to the beneficiary) She asked for the NOA2 Reciept #, my date of birth, her date of birth, addresses, her e-mail address and gave the information. The MNL # was issued July 6th. I never knew this... As a post indicated yesterday from a member, they will not even let you know. That is true I see.

The operator payed close attention to every answer I provided to be sure I was who I claimed to be. It appears CSC is taking 3 weeks or less for a MNL#. You may already have one issued. As the Petitioner in your case I don't know a trick to get the # without being sneaky about it.. There were posts yesterday that added. Have you tried those options?

You are much better off calling them - You will get an immediate answer on whether they have sent your case on to Manila yet or not.

Agreed. You may have to call a few times, but it will be faster than e-mail.

If it were me, I would call again. If it's been a month since you got the NOA2 approval, then they have had more than ample time to forward the case. What did you ask them? Wouldn't hurt to e-mail too.

Our NOA2 was from 6/6. We called the NVC at 6/19, they said before 15 workdays after NOA2 they would not even look at our case. We called 7/5 again, they gave us our new casenumber and told us that our petition has left NVC to the consulate on 6/27. On 7/6 I had packet 3 in my mail. It took exactly 4 weeks (we were at CSC)
