Contacting NVC in London

[Ridcully41 1]

hello again

i posted a thread about a week ago about not hearing anything after my noa2 ,my wife used the phone number very kindly given to me by a ndu26 (thanks for that by the way).she was told that my case was passed on to Londona few weeks back and that they couldn't help any further. she was also told that i (the beneficiary) had to start calling the embassy in London myself as it was no longer in their hands. i'm no expert in these matters but what my wife was told just doesn't seem right i thought only the petitioner ie. the US citizen could make those type of enquiries, so i guess my question is ,has my wife been given bad advice on their so called helpline or do i need to start calling the embassy in London? to find out why we havn,t heard anything since my noa2 approval on 15 feb

any answers would be very helpful

thanks

What you are describing sounds like a K1 fiancé case where the file passes in days through NVC and then the Embassy contacts you in a few weeks to say they are ready for you to submit your visa application forms. However your profile says you are applying for a CR1. Your case should remain at the NVC where you have a set procedure for submitting forms, documents, and making payment to the NVC. Then the NVC will schedule your inerview.

So something isn't right here. Confirm you are seeking a spouse visa, not fiancé.

Edit: nevermind, I see now you said wife. Call NVC back again and ask somebody else. The embassy will be of no help.

if the casefile was sent on to London IV, then IF the NVC doc intake with fees paid is finished, London IV should have emailed the two of you an appointment letter stating the appointment date.

If, on the other hand, some expedite was granted at NVC, then you absolutely have to follow up with London IV.

What's what, please?
