weird noa2

[terry_fox 0]

hello VJs:

I just got my noa2 in the mail box. the weird think is that, unlike most of you guys' noa2, it says my petition has been forwarded to the listed consulate(Montreal). why they didn't send it to NVC first? i am so confused. they don't want to do my background/name check or they will do it later which is what i am worrying about? does anybody here experience this kind of noa2? any help or suggestion will be greatly appreciated! thank you. one more thing, Can I change my consulate to Vancouver?

That's not weird, in fact, it's a good news because your case didn't have to go through NVC! You're in good hands so relax and wait for the interview date. By the way, let me be the first to say congrats!

Going through NVC only took 17 days for mine...thats from CSC to my Consulates door step...

I've heard of others getting this type of letter... but still hits NVC...

[Ladylethal 12]

Are you sure that's a NOA2? 'Cus NVC sends a letter stating that the petition has been sent to the consulate.

We also got a letter saying our case was forwarded to Montreal .. it was not an NOA2. They sent ours to Montreal instead of Vancouver by accident .. we called and had it corrected but it took some extra time.

I don't know if its good or bad. I got that wording on my NOA2, only they didn't list a consulate, on 11/29. Now it makes you do extra work to figure out where it really went. I still don't know where mines is, consulate doesn't have it, NVC doesn't have it, USCIS is not helpful. NVC says they will search for it if it hasn't got there in 90 days, but don't know if they will search for it if the NOA2 didn't say it was sent to the NVC. I'm going to give it another month and then contact a Senator.

Most of those in this situation, "listed consulate", have actually seen it go to the NVC first.

Good luck.

here's the sample of that kind of noa2 I just googled and attached . I think it is a noa2 right?

Interesting. I haven't received the paper copy of my approval yet. I wonder if mine will also skip NVC...

Yes thats the NOA2 most of the sentences are exactly the same as on mine, almost like they are cut and pastes.

Except for the Consulate box I don't have one of those on mine and the I-797C Rev is 01/31/05.

I thought that they have to go through NVC. Ours was only 2 days there so maybe it was quick??

I think they do go through the NVC now, but maybe pre USCIS, back when it was the Immigration and Naturalization Service they went straight to the consulate. I had a 129F approved in 2001 and don't remember NVC in the picture.

I think thats true, but how do you know when NVC receives and sends your case to the consulate? I mean how do you know exactly the date they got your file?

That's too bad, hope it will go well soon. is it really no way to track the case? I am worrying about mine too. It didn't list a consulate in my noa2 either, just I thought the consulate is in Montreal because I live in Toronto. I think what you got is exactly the same as mine(except for the personal info). please let me know if you get any update and good luck with the rest of your journey.

Hey thanks, it'll work out one way or another, they're probably doing some sort of security checks on mine that is holding things up. Don't worry about yours yet, there was a member, Stinger, who had the same thing a month ago and he is already at embassy interview stage now. The NOA2s from VSC don't seem to list consuates on them so don't read anything into it, they send it closest to where the beneficiary lives. Any which way I am going over there by May, whether its to be with her for the interview, or to marry her and do a DCF, we will see. Its been 4.5 years since I first met her so its about time I get together with her whether Government will make it easy for me or not.

Yes I'll let you know what happens.
