I-129F Between NOA2 and NVC

[D&C2016 0]

We received our NOA2 on March 30th but today (May 2nd) we still have no word from the NVC. I call often to check and they say they have no record of it. I have read some places of the NVC getting it very quickly, and others getting sent to the wrong place. I am curious if anybody else had a long wait time between NOA2 and getting word that the NVC received it. Thanks in advance!

They have been slowed done a bit. Most get it around 3 weeks but I have seen some people waiting 4-5 weeks. Just keep calling it'll be there very soon.

Seems like the NVC are on the slow side lately. I believe people are being told to call 35 days after NOA2, so you're still good with regards to that. I'm guessing you'll hear something very soon :-)

Welcome to VJ. Your thread is moved from the Introducing Our Members forum to the K-1 Case Progress subforum, to be among similar threads. Good luck with your process!

Hi, we have the same NOA2 approval Mar 30. Got our NVC case number Apr23. And now it has been received by US embassy Manila. I kept calling everyday. You should be getting your case number soon

Thank you for the responses. I have been pretty patient, but sometimes it's difficult as I'm sure you all know! I will continue calling!

Ours was approved on March 17 and NVC still doesn't have it. I called USCIS and they elevated it to a supervisor. He found that the case had not been mailed to NVC as of yet. He applied a service request to it to get it moving along with a confirmation number that we can use to check the status. I've heard about this happening a lot before.

Call USCIS and get it moving again.

Yours hadn't been mailed yet? Why do they say "we have mailed your petition..." if they haven't? That's annoying. Can I ask you which number you called? The customer service one or the California Service Center one?

There have been some cases where they've sent the files to National Records instead of NVC. I suspect this is one of those. The number I called was: 1-800-375-5283

This might be lenghty- I apologize in advance.

I got my case number on 5/4. (5 weeks after USCIS said they mailed it to NVC).

My next question is this:

When I track it on the CEAC website, it says "In Transit" which I know means it's on its way to the beneficiary's country.

At the bottom it states: Your interview date was provided to you by the National Visa Center.

I was under the impression I schedule the interview on the country-specific Visa webpage (where I create a profile & they give "Next Available appointment") and I can do so after I complete DS160 and pay the fee. So...who exactly schedules the appointment? Me or the NVC?

Thank you!

Don't think over what it says other then the at mvc, in transit and ready status. The rest doesn't apply for us. You should still do as it is with your country some book it themselves and other places the embassy does it. So if your country you book it yourself then you still need to book it yourself. You'll hear from the embassy soon and they will guide you.

USCIS sent petition to NVC on 5/2.

I got my NOA2 on the 18th of April. They received my case on monday and even gave me the number the same day. It's just been sent out to the embassy yesterday. So mine was 3 weeks on the dot.
