April 2018 NOA2 ----> NVC

[Naes 12,205]

So Jamie answered:

 Nope not received.

 

Then for the second time I've been asked if it was a I-130... so I said umm no, I-129f..

He asked me if I have the letter, and I told him the date, and then he asked me if my letter says USCIS sent my case to NVC...(umm I thought all cases go there....I think they do use that difference in wording to put the blame on USCIS )

Then he went on to 6 weeks... when I stopped and asked:

 So I know the 6 weeks part and what not, so apart from that .. I do have friends and we are kind of waiting together all around the same date, and from what I see it suddenly looks like mails stopped after April 2nd approvals. Is there any reason you know behind this? Is there again a backlog in USCIS that they don't send cases or they are not reaching you.

Answer: Not from what I see or know. Even though it has been almost 3 weeks, I would still consider it within the timelines. (he sounded genuine otherwise I would ask more)

 

So I asked Is there a good time for me to call during the day, because I am calling from Japan and if theres a good time during the day like after you guys already receive cases, I would wait.

Answer: Wow that is hard (for me calling from Japan - he was really nice.. I love NVC) Mail comes in different ways here, USPS, Fedex etc. So I cannot give you any exact time that I know off. It can come anytime during the day (he said USPS comes but he doesn't know the exact hour for that so I'm guessing that's within the work hours of USPS) 

I thanked (he was really nice) and told him I'll just call in the mornings and then at night time then.

How do we know Nvc received or case#? Only call them or waiting it come in mailbox? Anyone knows? Uscis we check by case trucker or app. How about case#?

Filip had his medical exam today. He had to get an update on his tetanus and diphtheria shot. He had to fill out a questionnaire. The doctor was really nice and was complaining a bit about the process, how complicated it has gotten since he began 30 some years ago. So it sounds like even on the other side of this, they aren't enjoying it either. The appointment in total was about 1.5 hours, they were running behind a bit. 

 

Hope everyone has a successful week and we are all able to make a lot of progress, no matter where we are in the process!
