Ok so uscis or maybe NVC made mistakes with my address and birthdate. We called uscis and had my birth date changed immediately, which they did, but we didn't know that we had to contact nvc as well to change my birth date, since nvc didn't know anything about the change. It also took us a while finally learn about them due to the e-mail that they sent ended up in my husband's junk mail, so we had no idea about NVC at all. I was able to contact NVC by phone after a few tries, and was asked to do these changes by sending them an e-mail and send certain identifications, which I did. It has been a few days since I e-mailed them. I've heard that it can take a while to get a response, but how long is a while? I would call them and ask, but it's very difficult to contact them! I usually couldn't get through, once I'm able to contact them, I'd have to wait for quite a while for someone to be able to talk to me. Any idea on how long it'll take to get a response?

I'd say with departments like theirs you can expect up to 3-4 weeks for a response. I never went through NVC, but USCIS always took that long to get back to me and I can imagine them and NVC both having heavy work loads.

Thanks for your response! I'm currently getting my immigrant visa. I'm not sure what you applied for, but you mentioned you didn't have to go through NVC? These are all very confusing for those who have no experience at all lol. When we called uscis it was pretty easy to contact them, but not so much with NVC.
