797 APPROVAL NOTICE I-129F

[Rightsreserved 1]

EVERYONE,

THIS EVENING GOT THE NOA2 HARD COPY FROM VSC STATING MY FIANCE VISA PETETION HAS BEEN APPROVED AND FORWARDED TO THE US CONSULATE OVERSEAS IN ISLAMABAD.

THE LETTER ALSO STATES A VALIDATION TIME FRAME OF 07/25/2011 - 11/25/2011....

I CALLED USCIS THIS EVENING AND THEY HAD NO OTHER INFORMATION REGARDING MY FIANCE I-129F PETETION... THEY TOLD ME SINCE THE LETTER SAYS IT WAS SENT TO THE US CONSULATE AS LISTED ON MY PETETION, THAT I SHOULD CALL THEM DIRECTLY....

IM CONFUSED AS I READ SEVERAL POSTS OF VJ'RS STATING THEY ARE DEALING WITH NVC AND SUCH....

SHOULD I WAIT FOR NVC CASE NUMBER OR CALL THE ISLAMABAD EMBASSY DIRECTLY.... ANY HELP AND WORD OF ADVISE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED...

THANK YOU,

S

This is Normal. If you just got your NOA2. It can take 1 to 3 weeks to get a Case number. The NOA2 Case Number is Useful but as a reference now. Patience. They will not inform you. You will have to call to confirm this with NVC.

Has anyone recently been able to communicate directly with the US consulate in Islamabad?

If yes what is the proper email address to request them to email my fiance the required documents and whether I can fax the consulate the I-797 Approval Letter from USCIS indicating the petetion for I-129F was sent to the US consulate directly...

It appears from the dates on the letter of approval for validation time frame of 07/25/11 thru 11/25/2011,, is when the fiance interview should be done and over with....I pray it is indeed sooner.... so this way we can plan our marriage after her arrival to the USA.

Everyone,

I am confused and worried a bit....

The letter of approval stated "To contact the US Consulate for further visa processing inquiry of my fiance"

I emailed the US Consulate and they replied back stating they have no record of my fiance visa petetion case, and that I should contact NVC (But the letter of approval stated to contact the US Consulate) or the USCIS Office for assistance.

In the event the case can't be found, the US Consulate is saying I will have to refile the I-129F again...

- I did email the US Consulate the PDF of the approval letter.

- I called NVC hotline, entered the EAC number, and yet there is no record of our case in their system.

- I called USCIS and spoke with a TIER 1, and they stated that since the petetion is approved and sent to US Consulate per the letter of approval, that I should contact the embassy directly....

I am frustrated and trying to figure out the process after the NOA 2 approval of I-129F.....

Thank you,

S
