The DCF petitions are treated very differently. From all indications those of us residing in non-DCF countries are remaining at NBC to be processed.

Well, call me impatient, but I called today about the MSC numbers not working. The script reader was very very nice and told me she was escalating my call and I should tell them I have an invalid receipt number. I waited 30 min on hold and another nice lady asked for the number again. She pulled it up internally and told me there is no problem the file is in Missouri and that It is just too soon to be in the Case status system. She confirmed all my data with me on the phone and it was encouraging to hear her read the information off of her screen. She then, told me your wife will be with you very soon, just be a little more patient and if you don't hear back anything from us after another 15 days to call back...HMMMM....Sounded like she knew something about some event that was to happen, maybe another transfer or maybe just listed in the system by then. Anyway, I guess I feel better :)

hmmm good. I am giving my case till NOV 22nd for an NOA 2! Yep it haas to happen then somehow LOL!

Has anyone who filed in October 2012 still not able to use the My Case status on the USCIS website, even after receiving the paper NOA1?helpsmilie.gif

We received the NOA1 email and letter but I still can't access the website with my number either.

It's my understanding that the physical casefile DOES travel around,

and that physical casefile MUST BE AT NVC before NVC processing can be started.

SOMEWHERE in the USCIS steps, the casefile is scanned.

repeat - the physical casefile IS SENT around - note that one of the stops is at the scanning station.

WHY, you ask? Ultimately, there's an electronic COPY made, stored in a system called SAFEFILE, that NVC and all IV units access.

Interesting! Thanks for the info!

If your wife has received orders to deploy or PCS then you can request a military expedite to speed up the process to have the beneficiary arrive in time for outprocessing.
