NOA2 to NVC (Timeline)

[PickleChips 56]

No problem, I am only about 11 days ahead of you so I am passing it on as I learn it! The process has so many steps that it's easy to get confused.

Also, re your earlier question: the medical fee is $275 plus any vaccinations you may need and the visa fee is $265 (which I believe is USD).

Thank you!

Is the visa fee of $265 payment for DS-160?

After NOA2 it takes approx 2 wks for ur service center to send the file to NVC. The NVC assigns a case # and sends it to the appropriate embassy. The embassy should then send the beneficiary packet 3. Every consulate varies so you should ask in ur country's portal or look at threads there. Also go to embassy information to check for info there too: http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/

Sometimes NVC takes longer than the 2 wks and sometimes the petitioner receives a letter in the mail with the case# (as we did). You can call NVC at 1-603-334-0700 after the 2 wk period. Start very early 7am as it can be difficult to get through. Here is the VJ guide:

You can also track ur file once u get the case #at:

Please select "immigrant visa"

Best of luck!

Thanks u.

I think most times the petitioner calls. Maybe the beneficiary can make the call if they have all the info. I'm not sure about that tho

Either the petitioner or the beneficiary can call, but only the petitioner gets the mailed letter.

We're going on eight weeks since NOA-2. I hope your case doesn't end up on the same desk ours did.

Maybe follow up Vancouver US Embassy via email? I have read from other threads, they reply in two working days.

The consulate can do nothing when the case hasn't even left USCIS.

[charmed2006 31]

Maybe follow up USCIS? I think the I-129F approval is only valid for 4 months. Is that right? I am so sorry I have no idea as I am newbie here.

I hope you'll hear from then soon..
