NVC Debacle

[JaniceDave 0]

When we filed our petition my fiancee was working in Kuwait. As we closed in on the NOA2 adjudication she returned to the Philippines and is there now.

On PAGE 2 Item 20 of the I-129 we specifically noted MANILA, Philippines.

NVC received the packet from USCIS on 04 NOV and sent it to Kuwait on 05 NOV. And even if I was calling everyday

I may have never caught this with the quick execution.

I called NVC and inquired about this. They said they NEVER look at page 2. Their protocol is to only look at page 1 the

and address you are currently residing at. So in light of this policy it seems they are encouraging applicants to put an

address OTHER than their legal address which theoretically is falsifying your document. But the I-129 is 3 pages -- NOT 1

page. The entire document should be considered in total. I explained to the NVC bot that there are 3 pages and she replies -- "Its not our form"

Any one here of this lunacy? (NVC = Not Very Competent?)

So now our status on CEAC is IN TRANSIT since the 05 NOV. I find this alarming since Kuwait is not a busy post.

So how does the shipment process work? I heard its DHL. Maybe is not air freight or maybe it just sits in a box at the embassy mail room for

weeks. I had expected our packet to have arrived by now since Kuwait is not a very busy post.

One interesting note on the CEAC site is I use the Immigrant tracking page vice the Non-immigrant tracking even though - technically - the

K1 is non-immigrant.

Will the Kuwait Embassy change the status -- eventually?

Our attorney is looking to have the packet forwarded to Manila -- god knows how long that will take the way things

are going. They feel optimistic it can be forwarded. They have already reached out (in writing) to both Embassy's but nothing thus far.

I don't want to complicate the attorneys efforts with our personal attempt -- it could complicate efforts.

Any other insight on the process, execution, and status processing -- or personal war stories lets hear it!

Yup. You are not the first to get tripped up by doing that.

You or your fiancee will have will have to contact the Manila embassy to request it be transferred.

[Darnell 8,478]

well,since you've a lawyer engaged, you should prod the lawyer to get the casefile sent on to Manila IV.

Prod often.

Actually, NVC is correct! It is not really their form! I-129F's, I-130's, I-140's or any form of form's that starts on "I" are USCIS forms and not NVC. So they are not lying to you when they say that it was not their form. As you can see, USCIS is under DHS and NVC is under DOS, totally different agencies

You are correct that their courier is DHL and you're I-129F should already by in KWT. If said that your lawyer had already inititiated contacting USEM Manila, all you have to do for now is to trust your attorney that he knows what he is doing and play the waiting game.

... what a scary though.... trusting a lawyer in this process! (If he actually knew what he was doing he wouldn't have used the Kuwait address where he did)
