NOA2 - NVC RECEIVE DELAYS

[Carla Sepe 0]

Our 129f was approved last September 12 2013 and still no letter, no nothing from NVC

But i looked into the processing times of Visa Journey and it says there that roughly they are now processing the approvals of September 19 2013. I don't think so.

seriously, how are we supposed to know what happened to our cases. No one's giving an accurate answer. I saw some cases who got their approval June and until now they still didn't receive but i also saw cases where in their approval was September 5 and NVC received theirs already. How unfair is that???

How are we supposed to know if our case unfortunately got lost in their files

We rec'd our NOA2 on September 20. I called USCIS today and advised that it was outside of the 30 day mark and all I was needing was a date the case was shipped to NVC. I was transferred to a Tier 2 officer (had to hold for nearly 45 mins) He was wonderful and advised that our case was actually just shipped to NVC, and was received on 10/18. I would absolutely call, be super nice, and if the first rep at USCIS cannot help, ask if there is anyone who could possibly help determine where your case is.

A lot of us CSC NOA2 approvals are waiting quite a long time for NVC receipts. Fortunately, we had a quick approval to balance this out.

Anyway, best of luck and hopefully they can provide you a little more insight or piece of mind on where your case currently resides.

hi thank you for replying

so NVC received yours already? Congratulations. i hope the next time we called we'll also receive a good news. we get frustrated every time we call

but how did you actually asked them? coz they're mostly rude when we call they're not very accommodating

[KayDeeCee 4,892]

Call the NVC to ask about your case status and case #.

~ Moved from K-1 Process to K-1 Progress Reports- topic is case status ~

Well as NVC says it can take up to 8 weeks and for some its even longer. Just keep calling NVC.

E. Mail worked for me, every time.

After I called NVC to confirm still no case rec'd, I called USCIS at 800-375-5283. When someone answered, I litterally said the following after giving my receipt #, etc:

" I am just calling to see if I can possibly find out the date my petition was sent to the national visa center. They still have not received it and it has been more than 30-days so I am just needing any help in figuring out where it may be."

The lady was not able to see anything and offered me on her own a transfer to a Tier 2 rep. I thanked her for doing that and told her I greatly appreciated her help. (( If they do not offer this on their own, I would kindly ask if there was anyone who you could speak with that might be able to locate your petition's whereabouts. State that you are just concerned as you were told USCIS would ship your petition to NVC within a 30-day time period and they have still not received it.))

I know what you're talking about with the rudeness.... had a few of those. I just thanked them anyway, hung up and called back a little later. But I'm telling you, no matter how rude the person on the other end is, be kind. Be nice, Drop complimnets, blah, blah blah. Kindness always trumps rudeness. I always end every phone call by thanking the person for all of there time and help -- regardless of if they were any help.

Hope that helps a little....

Call DOS and ask for your case number. Call everyday until they give it to you.

Our petition was approved on August 27, but till now no case number from NVC. We keep calling always but nothing yet. We still waiting.

[BryNef 4]

We call DOS other than NVC.they still gave you the cAse number anyway. waiting time is like less than 15mins and there very very nice..we did call USCIS about our file and told us that they already send it last Oct 05, so until now we never get oour case number yet.

my f is already frustrated with nvc about their rudeness so were going to DOS directly.were really expecting it this week, i hope so..no choice but to wait.we had soo much bad luck but it never stop us from keep going..

so guys, just hang on..were almost there!

Hi, try calling USCIS just like what Corey&Guyvens did yesterday. They received their NOA2 on Sept 20 and got an answer from them. Yours might have already been shipped to NVC along with theirs since theirs was also processed by CSC.

Wish you the best of luck!

To quote them:

On point about being polite. It will help greatly during the process.

Totally agree. Overlook the rudeness and continue to be polite. It's the best way in our current situation.
