Hey guys! Awesommeee farzram good news!! <3 I'm so glad you're finally getting some!!

I've also got some good news!! :D Just got this email yesterday from the NVC research team:

Dear Sir/Madam:

We recently received your visa petition. We will send NVC processing instructions within 4 to 5 weeks. Please resubmit your inquiry if you have not received any information after 5 weeks.

WOOHOO!! I'm not sure about the NVC processing instructions thing, maybe that's when my fiance will get his packet in England? It's driving me crazy that we can't call and see if the case number has been assigned! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE! It's been a long time coming! But.. I am still keeping my guard up. I'm not accepting this as truth until we have a case number in our hands, lol :P Let's keep the good vibes rolling, guys!!

hey guys, just an update.

I got an email today from NVCresearch - keep in mind I have not emailed them in like over 3 weeks.

The email said: USCIS has notified us that the petition is on its way to NVC. we will notify you when we receive the petition.

YAY. i think, i hope, i pray lol.

Thinking this is true because from what I have heard, USCIS sends out petitions to NVC on fridays, so today was friday- and im sure they contacted nvc today to let them know they FINALLY sent it over today. Fingers crossed its true and I'm at NVC next week!

have a good weekend guys. prayers for all that are still waiting.

That's GOOD news. Keep it flowing!

WOW! just... wow... I just read this thread and you guys really did draw the short stick in this process.... Also, now I understand why the guidelines say to make an exact duplicate of the i-129f package.. I guess this has happened before..

Bless you and good luck! Here I feel that is really needed..

Farzram- look at the ###### email I just got today. Look familiar?

I had requested the beneficiaries A- file from our storage unit and it was received and reviewed. Unfortunately, the approved I129F petition was not in the file. According to information in the file and system records, the I129F petition was transferred to the National Visa Center (NVC) on 07/01/2016; however, NVC confirms they have no record of receiving the case. To avoid further delays, it is necessary to reconstruct the I-129F petition for this beneficiary. Please submit the following information directly to my attention.

I am so ###### pissed.

I'm SO angry guys, but at the same time I'm glad they finally ###### admitted that it was lost. I can't believe how much of my time they wasted telling me to "wait". I always knew that was lost. Now I can just remake the packet and get on with my life.

You have every right to be angry... Try to refocus that anger into determination! Let's get this done :)

The vein of this sick joke just continues to run deeper and deeper. I've asked it before and I will ask it again, are we a third-rate developing nation or are we the freakin' United States of America?

How can a group of seemingly adult professionals be so terribly irresponsible as to repeatedly lose paperwork on a daily basis?

I'm sorry, my VJ brothers and sisters, I really am. I share your pain and frustration. On the bright side, you are moving forward. As for Dyn and me, we continue to sink deeper into the pit of despair known as USCIS.

USCIS blames NVC. NVC blames USCIS. In the meantime, nobody is taking responsibility for our lost petition. Its sickening to the core.

So, in closing, let me ask this: in reconstructing the entire petition, will you have to refile and wait out the approval process again? I fear I may be walking your same path soon.

You are already approved..My best guess is that this "review" is just a quicker .check... Did you tell them about these other cases?

I am so ###### pissed.

WOW WOW WOW. absolutely ###### ridiculous!!!! I FEEL YOUR PAIN. i got the same email with same response from USCIS to my senators office with this reply. best advice i can give you right now- reconstruct the package as best as you can - ADD A LETTER WITH IT explaining what they did (give them the timeline of your petition, give them your repceit number, give them the date your petition was approved, and let them know that you were instructed to reconstruct the package and include your senators info on there too so they know whats going on) ALSO MAKE SURE YOU ADD A COPY OF YOUR NOA2. explain all this because USCIS IS FREAKIN STUPID and they might get confused and think this is a new petition being filed.

as for me, I called NVC just now but because of labor day (i think) my petition was still not received. I am hoping that the email from NVCresearch was indeed true and that my petition really is on the way to them...

Gregory&Dyn- i am sorry for you, have you heard from your senator/congressman yet? what else have you tried doing (i know it seems hopeless)....also to answer your question... I asked my senators office the same thing, about how the process goes after I reconstruct the packet--- You do not have to wait for the approval again. you are already approved, they basically just review it and send it along to NVC. I believe that is true since NVC notified me that its on the way on Friday....maybe they received it monday and it was ready to go by friday to NVC. I hope you hear SOMETHING, ANYTHING soon.

praying for us all

I'm not sure about this, but I would think this would be a good enough reason for an expedited interview? Something I would definitely check into if I were you. I haven't had issues with the NVC process like you guys have, but we did wait almost 4 months for our interview. Getting my senator involved and such, Finally we got our interview, and were told "our case fell through some cracks" Anyways, just throwing the expedite thing out there. Good luck to each of you, and I'm sorry to hear about this.
