I need the help of some experienced VJer's

[K&E2009 71]

Here we go;

On Dec. 5th we were approved for our I-129f in Vermont.

As of TODAY, NVC has NOT received our file.

Yesterday, my USC fianceé called the USCIS and spoke with someone on Tier 2. The Officer told her; "It HAS been sent to Vermont, but we can't tell you the date".

I decided to conduct my own investigation... I emailed the NVC a scanned copy of our approval notice, they haven't received it, AND they contacted Vermont for us, Vermont said: "It HAS NOT left Vermont"

So, the USCIS is telling us, we sent it.

They are telling the NVC, we haven't sent it.

What are we supposed to do now!?! We are getting the run around here!

I am goin' to get my fianceé to call the USCIS again today and go to Tier 2 and let rip on them! Even though I know she won't.

What to do VJer's?

My NOA2 was approved on December 28th and I think the NVC got my documents probably around January 8th but they said it was still in processing. Good luck.

So frustrating for you. I wish I could offer advice.

Have you organised for your Fiance to contact a congressman yet? Sounds like it maight be the only way left to get the mess sorted out. I rang NVC on Tuesday and they had just recieved my file, but not in system yet. Seems like the sending and recieivng after NOA 2 is as random as the processing for NOA 2 is...Sorry you are having all this hassle.

You know Widsy, why don't you call them? I'm the beneficiary over here and I have a skype subscription. Last time I rang there was a half hour wait but it didn't matter cos the calls are so cheap. they have happily talked to me everytime I call. Why wait for your fiancee to get home from work?

Contact the embassy directly. There have been cases where the approved petition was sent directly to embassy never passing the NVC.

I rang the USCIS, each time they told me; 'If you're not the Petitioner, we can't help you'.

I meant NVC not USCIS. NVC will answer your questions it seems. You might get more help from them too.

Ya, I have called them. They were helpful, but they can't really do anything 'cause our file is still at Vermont.

Sorry about all this for you...hopefully someone else will respond for you with just the answer you need.

A man went to his doctor, walked into the room with a hammer. He started hitting himself on the head with the hammer and said "Doctor, it hurst when I do this" The doctor said "Stop doing that"

The best way to stop getting conflicting advice is to stop calling people that have no clue.

Approved petitions are forwarded to NVC the same day or next day (latest) No exceptions. NVC has it. The person you talk to there has no way to know they have it, so stop calling.

When the NVC is finished with it they will send the petitioner a letter with a consulate case number and a notice that it has been sent to the consulate.

Calling them just increases frustration. So stop.

There have been no such cases, Max. Despite erroneous form letters to the contrary, ALL petitions go to NVC. No exceptions. It would be like saying "I mailed you a letter but skipped the post office" Not possible. ALL petitions get sent to NVC the same day or next day from when they approved. I am not guessing at this.

agreed! OP has no control over this situation.

OP your petition will make it to the NVC. Calling both USCIS and NVC is a waste of your time. When they receive it they will notify you.

We received our NOA2 28 Dec as well, followed up with NVC, and it was sent out to the US Embassy in Manila on 10 Jan...I will call them tomorrow to see if it was delivered yet via DHL.

Conflicting info suck, I know I spoke with a few sharp folks at NVC...good luck

If the NVC have it, then why would they not tell me that!?! I sent them a request to look for it, and nothing turned up, they called Vermont and were told that they still have it.

Why would the NVC go to such lengths as to fabricate a story, if they have it!?!
