Case still not received by NVC...

I just talk to a staff member who really needed some sleep

Every time we call, they keep telling us that it takes 15 business days for a case to be received.

I have exact same situation.

I look at you. I'm behind you in the line.

My partner rang the NVC this morning for an update, and the guy on the other end was extremely rude and told her not to call back for 20 days.

Anyone know if it's possible to have a case delayed from calling too often? We really want to keep abreast of what's going on, but we don't want to annoy the wrong person and have our case put to the bottom of the pile!

Don't listen to the operator. Just call back tomorrow and every day until you get the good news.

Like you, I called once while waiting for my interview date to be scheduled and received an extremely rude person. I had called earlier that afternoon, and then DOS later near supper. And right before bed, I wanted to call NVC again, just for the heck of it. And that's when I got the rude person. He was saying that I shouldn't be calling so often, that I had already called that day, etc etc. I just listened to him ramble on for a few minutes, thanked him for his time and hung up. I called back the very next day, without worrying at all what he said.

No, calling once or twice a day won't hurt you or delay your case. The operators have no control of impacting your case like that (as far as I know). But, I wouldn't suggest calling every HOUR cause then something might get done about it. But if you're just calling once or twice a day, definitely nothing to worry about.

i just now called up NVC, an operator told me My packet IV documents received. but Original marriage certificate missing.

But i am sure i have sent Original marriage cerificate issued by government authories. I have sent color photocopy of it also. Dont know whether they got confused between Original and Color photocopy.

i dont know why they are telling original cerificate is missing. How can i clarify this to NVC officier.

pls help. anybody had similar experience

Congratulations!!

We got also our interview appointment scheduled today!! The funny thing though is that as we thought our NVC stage would take longer, I flew to US to visit my hubby and will be leaving only after our currently scheduled interview appointment - which is already on January 4th! - so we need to reschedule. Medical done already also, so just figuring out now the new interview date.

It's really funny, now when I'm here with my hubby, all has started going super fast and smooth!

I'd suggest first to call and talk to at least three other operators. If they ALL say that the original certificate is missing, tell them you'd like to talk to a supervisor. The operator might not say this is allowed, so call back (and back) until you get an operator that puts you through to a supervisor. Once you have a supervisor, explain that you know 100% that you sent an original marriage certificate and included a photocopy of said document. Ask politely if they can review your case for you to dismiss this false RFE. Good luck.

Hi Saylin. As always, thanks very much for the input! We'll keep calling this week and hope for a case complete!

[together4evr 360]

SAYLIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or anyone else....

I am trying to track my file through dhl.com

the avr says my package left nvc on the 12th

so i tried to track it for egypt and nothing.

I did see 3 packages leaving today the 13th for Cameroon, Haiti and Ethiopia. But none for Egypt.

Can you find my package or tell me how and what is the waybill number?

Or maybe I have to check after 6pm???

Thank you

Hi. Congrats!! Can you please edit your timeline? I wanted to see when you received your numbers and when you got case complete but you only have 130 approved date so far.

Thank you

Saylin,

What time i need to call to get a supervisor?

I know nvc opens at 630am my time in Illinois and I had luck calling at 9am to speak to a supervisor. so that would be 10am NVC time.

I tried to speak to a supervisor at 8 am and they said they were in meetings or not in.

Hi Saylin. As always, thanks very much for the input! We'll keep calling this week and hope for a case complete!

I see we share almost similar timeline. Also try emailing them today and state you mailed them the required package on so and so date and so jjust writing to confirm receipt of the documents and status of your case if any.
